Our Current Major Initiatives

Increased transparency in seafood production and governance: FishWise works to catalyze transparent, legal, traceable seafood production. We consult businesses and champion global efforts for government adoption of verification and traceability best practices.
Establish Human Rights Due Diligence as a standard practice: In partnership with Conservation International and LRQA, FishWise has formed the Consortium for Social Risks in Seafood. Together we are developing actionable Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) guidance and tools.
Transforming data into actionable intelligence: FishWise prioritizes practical, actionable data analytics. In partnership with the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, we’re enhancing our efficacy in detecting human and labor rights risks in seafood supply chains.
Moving stakeholders from analysis to action: FishWise is driving seafood stakeholders to action in high-risk areas. We elevate best practices, promote shared understanding, and encourage collaborative responses in critical zones.
