The Common Vision - Many companies would like to move ahead on sustainable seafood but are unsure how to get started. To answer that challenge, 15 conservation organizations came together to develop the Common Vision for Environmentally Sustainable Seafood which outlines six realistic, concrete steps companies can take to develop a corporate sustainable seafood policy. The Common Vision was developed knowing that the transition to sustainable seafood policies and practices is a journey with many steps that takes time and effort, and the organizations in the Conservation Alliance for Seafood Solutions are here to help.
