Fisheries have traditionally provided food for humans and are an important source of income for millions of households worldwide. The same is true for aquaculture which, in recent years, has transformed from subsistence farming into a large and economic important industry for many countries. While the benefits of these practices can’t be denied, major shortcomings can be observed in many places: overfishing, environmental pollution and degradation and their negative social impacts pose a huge number of challenges for consumers, producers, authorities and governments alike. In our team we have extensive knowledge and expertise in the seafood sector to create positive growth for the industry while considering the environment and communities involved in seafood production.
