Go Blue! Seafood Sustainability

Traceability Advances Sea Port’s Go Blue!® Seafood Sustainability Goal for Wild Caught and Farm Raised Seafood

Update as of 12-06-16: Our “Traceability Declaration” requirement will now directly address Child Labor, Forced Labor, and other forms of Unfair Labor Practices within all the related supply chains associated with the production of wild caught and farm raised seafood.

Our unending corporate goal at Sea Port to advance all our seafood items towards becoming more environmentally and socioeconomically sustainable is embodied in our Go Blue!® Seafood Sustainability Spectrum.  Advancing this goal, however, can only be accomplished when every seafood item is fully traceable back to its wild caught or farmed source.

To this end, Sea Port has further improved our enhanced “Traceability Declaration” requirement (initiated in 2012) to now directly address our suppliers’ knowledge of any existing Child Labor, Forced Labor, and other forms of Unfair Labor Practices within their supply chains.

Please note below (shown in red) the new requirements added to our ‘Traceability Declaration” for both wild caught and farm raised seafood items.
