SEAFOODNEWS.COM by Michael Ramsingh — July 13, 2015 –In our ongoing video series about seafood sustainability, Resiliensea CEO Phil Gibson discusses some of the pitfalls retailers have encountered in trying to navigate the alphabet soup of certification standards available to them.
According Gibson, a former group director for Safeway’s seafood department, both retail seafood buyers and general consumers are confused about the unique benefits each certifying body brings to the table.
Gibson adds that a program agreeing to one set of guidelines would be good for the industry to develop a singular voice when it comes to educating retailers and consumers about what it means to certify a seafood product as sustainably fished resource.
