Restaurants & Retailers
In the United States, two-thirds of all seafood (by value) moves through restaurants to the consumer, and an additional 24 percent is sold fresh or frozen through retail outlets. As gatekeepers to the nation's seafood supply, retailers and restaurants who choose sustainable seafood can have a significant impact on conserving the health of the oceans. Below you'll find training tools and tips to familiarize you and your staff with the importance of choosing sustainable seafood, along with creative ideas for implementing a sustainable seafood policy in your business.
