Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative Welcomes Sustainable Shrimp Partnership as New Affiliated Partner
The Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI), a public-private partnership committed to advancing sustainable practices in the seafood sector, has announced a new collaborative affiliation with the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP), a pre-competitive organization based in Ecuador that supports the shrimp industry's development.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership to GSSI. The inclusion of SSP marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to advance the sustainable seafood movement, with a focus on the farmed shrimp sector,” said Øyvind Ihle, GSSI chief executive, in a press release. “By joining forces, we can elevate industry standards, inspire broader participation in the pursuit of sustainability, and increase access to sustainable seafood for all,” he added.
The strategic partnership, announced this week, aims to accelerate the adoption of improved practices within the seafood industry, particularly in the farmed shrimp sector. Both GSSI and SSP are dedicated to promoting responsible practices, ensuring the long-term viability of marine resources, and safeguarding people and ecosystems.
“Working hand in hand with GSSI allows us to expand the reach of Ecuadorian shrimp producers' efforts to address global sustainability challenges and continually raise the sector's sustainability standards. We’re excited about this collaboration and confident that we’ll develop pathways for improvement in shrimp production and identify solutions and projects to advance proactively,” said Pamela Nath, director of the SSP.
