Giant Food, New England Aquarium Unite To Encourage ‘Best Practices’ For Retail Seafood Sales And Consumption
Aim to increase access to sustainable seafood available from seafood farms
Giant Food is working in cooperation with the New England Aquarium to increase access to sustainable seafood available from seafood farms, hatcheries and processing plants that follow a program of environmental improvement and social consciousness.
Members of the Giant Food seafood buying team, alongside a New England Aquarium shrimp specialist, traveled to Indonesia and Thailand to collaborate with Giant Food's shrimp vendor partners on environmental improvements, Giant Food noted. This provides Giant and the New England Aquarium with a way to identify 'best practices' within individual businesses and work toward applying these practices to all vendors.
Lydia Bergen, director of conservation at the New England Aquarium, said: This initiative is an important tool for ocean conservation and we are proud of the steps Giant Food is undertaking. Changes in purchasing habits such as Giant Food has demonstrated will make a difference in the health of ocean ecosystems.
This program reflects to strengthen and expand a sustainable seafood program, centering on the creation of a 10-point policy for seafood purchasing and sales based on social, ecological and economic considerations.
