Building sustainable
(sea)food production systems
FOR A RESILIENT AND EQUITABLE FUTURE
Building sustainable
We focus on the sustainable aspects of aquaculture and fisheries projects. Most of our work is done in Asia and the Middle East with a focus on high-value marine species whereby we provide project management, training, auditing and due diligence services.
We started in 2008, operating as social entrepreneurs hoping to contribute to the creation of a sustainable future for developing nations by providing projects and consultancy services that are practical, environmental friendly and long lasting.
By now we assist a number of clients ranging from retailers and wholesalers in Europe, to national governments and development organizations active in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
