US seafood industry creates marketing coalition |
|
PORTLAND, Maine—The meat industry has its "Beef, It's What's for Dinner" promotion. Pork producers market their product as "the other white meat."

More than 50 fishing and seafood organizations from 24 states have signed on to the National Seafood Marketing Coalition, a group that's working on a national plan to better market American seafood and is hoping for help from the federal government.

Packard Foundation Report: Financing Fisheries Change |
|
Many reforms and changes which support conservation also result in higher profits and revenue streams for the involved businesses. This makes fisheries a potentially attractive investment arena for many commercial investors, once reform projects are properly structured and agreed upon between conservationists and the involved businesses. As commercial investors and social investors become more involved in the field of fisheries, the scale of the impacts that can be achieved is expected to expand. Foundations in the field are now looking to support this transition from fisheries conservation as a purely philanthropic investment to a blended conservation and business investment by encouraging non-profits, social change leaders and business entrepreneurs to create innovatively structured projects that can both build value for private investors and improve the speed and scale of fisheries conservation impacts. The report contains a section on the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association's Cape Cod Fisheries Trust. |
