The Ocean Disclosure Project (ODP) is an attempt to bring transparency to the world of sustainable seafood through encouraging companies to report on the sources of the seafood that they buy, along with information about the sustainability of those fisheries. Some data requested are KDEs such as species name and harvest location, in addition to data that reflects the environmental status of the fishery (e.g. the status of management and stocks in specific fisheries). The results are then published as individual corporate profiles on both the SFP website and on company websites. The companies will provide information covering whether they have a public seafood sourcing policy or commitment, and the scope of that policy or commitment, as well as information on any specific objectives or time-bound targets set by the company. They will also include reported progress toward those objectives.
