- 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. For more information, click here for a short presentation or visit www.solutionsforseafood.org.
