Sustainability is at the heart of SakanaBlue's mission, and for good reason. Japan's rich natural beauty, with its extensive coastline, dense forests, and rugged mountains, is a testament to the need for responsible stewardship of our environment. This archipelago's connection to its seafood heritage runs deep, with centuries of traditional fishing and aquaculture methods shaping the industry.
At SakanaBlue, we understand that preserving this legacy means embracing a future where sustainable practices are the norm. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere words. We actively engage in improvement projects that aim to promote responsibly raised, harvested, and transported frozen Japanese seafood across North America while championing sustainable practices among Japanese seafood producers.
Nurturing Sustainable Practices in Aquaculture and Fisheries with Our Partners
Seafood sustainability is a complex issue. With a myriad of species and formats, diverse supply chains spanning multiple languages, and intricate harvesting processes, the journey from ocean to plate can be obscure compared to other foods.
At SakanaBlue, we understand these challenges facing the seafood industry. Our commitment to sustainability is actively championed by partnering with initiatives that align with our values and also allow the full value of Japanese seafood producers to be celebrated in the marketplace.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Postelsia, who is committed to promoting the growth of sustainable practices among Japanese seafood producers as well as verifying their responsible practices through independent place-based audits, to identify solutions that work in their home communities.
