We’ve donated over $1 million to Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) since 2011.

Electronic monitoring equipment in the Florida pink shrimp fishery

We provided funding for a project through SFP to study interactions with the endangered smalltooth sawfish in the Florida pink shrimp fishery in our supply chain. The project includes installing cameras and monitoring equipment on 8 vessels in this fishery to identify potential contact with this endangered sawfish species.

Smart buoys in the Maine lobster and Canadian snow crab fisheries

Our donations also support 2 projects to eliminate ghost gear within our lobster and snow crab fishery supply chain. Ghost gear is abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear that can be harmful to marine life, such as the endangered North Atlantic right whale, and can negatively impact marine habitats. Smart buoys are GPS tracking devices that attach to existing fishing gear to monitor its location and movement in real time, guaranteeing that it can be retrieved to avoid harming marine life or damaging habitats.

Addressing bycatch in the Eastern Pacific Ocean mahi-mahi fishery

Our most recent contribution to SFP, together with the Global Mahi Supply Chain Roundtable, supports sustainable fishing practices and bycatch reduction of endangered, threatened and protected species in the Eastern Pacific Ocean mahi-mahi fishery. This effort helps to empower fishers with training, practical tools and recognition to support the long-term health of the fishery and reduce or prevent bycatch.
