Fishsource
FISHSOURCE is a public online database of fisheries information resource about the status of fish stocks and fisheries. SFP created FishSource in 2007 to provide major seafood buyers with up-to-date, impartial, and actionable information on the sustainability of fisheries and the improvements they need to make to become sustainable.
FISHSOURCE´s goal is to help provide information on as many fisheries as possible to help guide as many companies as possible with their sourcing decisions and improvement goals. By assembling the essential data and making it freely available, FishSource lowers the key barrier to entry for companies to engage in sustainable and responsible sourcing. Companies thus save time and resources by accessing FishSource for sustainability information and fisheries status.
In order to provide Sustainable fisheries information systems, the Global Marine Commodities project is funding the development of 17 new gear-flag profiles on FISHSOURCE.
