December 20, 2023 — The Certification and Ratings Collaboration recently released an updated version of its data tool, which aims to be the most comprehensive resource available offering a high-level overview of seafood’s environmental performance.
The collaboration’s members, which now include the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Fair Trade USA, Marine Stewardship Council, Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® Program, the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership, and Global Seafood Alliance’s Best Aquaculture Practices program, originally launched the tool in 2020. The most recent member of the collaboration, the Qingdao Marine Conservation Society (QMCS), is a nongovernmental organization based in and focused on China.
