What is Friend of the Sea?
Friend of the Sea is a non profit non governative international organization (NGO). It is registered in Italy as a non profit association. Friend of the Sea is managing the Friend of the Sea scheme for the certification of products from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. It is the only international scheme which, with the same logo/seal of approval and via an audit run by a third party accredited Certification Body, can potentially certified products from wild-caught or farmed. Several companies and fisheries all over the world (from Tasmania to Chile, from Canada to Vietnam and from Norway to Madagascar, have trusted Friend of the Sea to assess their own fisheries, farms or products and verify if their origin was compliant with Friend of the Sea sustainability criteria).
