Casting a wider net for responsible seafood practices

Meaningful connections lead to shared successes

Our partnerships are crucial in driving the widespread adoption of sustainable practices, ensuring that every link in the seafood supply chain operates with environmental responsibility and safety. This collective effort not only supports the health of marine life but also promotes a more resilient and ethical seafood industry for the future.

Partner spotlight

The Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) is a proud endorser partner of the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST), supporting the adoption of globally aligned, interoperable data standards that strengthen transparency across seafood supply chains. GSA has implemented GDST compatibility within its PRISM platform, enabling certified producers and supply chain partners to connect and visualize traceability data. Further reinforcing this collaboration, GSA’s Vice President of IT serves as Chair of the GDST Technical Council, helping guide the development and implementation of practical, scalable traceability solutions for the global seafood sector.

The 2026 Responsible Seafood Summit will be co-hosted by The Center for Responsible Seafood. “For the past three years, in Vietnam, India and Indonesia, TCRS has convened global industry leaders as well as the next generation of leaders for the Shrimp Summit, where we explore the full potential of shrimp aquaculture. I’m excited to share the latest information that supports TCRS’s vision that regenerative aquaculture – in which the producers don’t just mitigate their environmental impact but actually improve their local ecosystems – is the future of this industry and shrimp farmers can lead the way.” George Chamberlain, President, The Center for Responsible Seafood

The Nature Conservancy is working with the Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) to develop and pilot a farm standard specific to small-scale shrimp producers that utilizes digital technology as part of the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification program. The main goal is to reduce the cost and complexity of BAP certification and assessment processes for small-scale farmers while increasing the quantity and quality of data used while not compromising sustainability principles. The desired outcome is to allow a greater share of shrimp farmers in key geographies, like Asia and Latin America, to access and work towards improved environmental and social performance of their farming practices, see incentives for doing so, and improve market access for compliance.
