Market-Based Sustainability
• Global Retailer groups are increasingly committing to sourcing sustainable seafood
• Most of the world’s fisheries fully exploited
• >60% of all seafood exports originate in developing countries (SOFIA 2008)
• >90% of aquaculture products originate from developing nations (FAO 2009)
• Developed world increasingly looking to Asia-Pacific to satisfy demand for marine resources
But where will the Seafood Come From?
Challenges for Asia-Pacific Countries
• What does “sustainable” or “responsibly produced” seafood look like in developing world context?
• Local business want to make sustainability commitment, but what should that be in the absence of certified products?
• What types of mechanism are needed to: o promote “responsible” seafood in
absence of credible eco-labels?o Reward best practices (i.e. access,
price)
WWF Indonesia Seafood Savers

2. To facilitate information exchange among members regarding sustainability issues.
3. To be a place of encounter between producers and buyers of sustainable or “responsible” seafood products
