Organization Description:

The Seafood Certification & Ratings Collaboration unites five global programs (Aquaculture Stewardship Council, Fair Trade USA, Marine Stewardship Council, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Sustainable Fisheries Partnership) to coordinate tools and increase impact so that more seafood producers can clearly move toward environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: Indian shrimp is a priority commodity for the Certification & Ratings Collaboration, given its scale and the social and environmental risks highlighted by recent reporting. Member programs variously certify farms, rate sustainability, and support improvement projects in Andhra Pradesh, and the Collaboration itself provides a forum for aligning on responsible sourcing pathways, labor expectations, and data for Indian shrimp.
