The conservation Alliance for seafood solutions is the convenor in the responsible seafood movement.

The Alliance envisions a vibrant responsible seafood movement where people work together to secure the future of seafood production, ensure the health and biodiversity of our blue planet, and defend the economic and social well-being of those who depend on it. We accelerate progress by convening collaborative technical experts and changemakers around the world to advance responsible solutions for seafood.

Our goal is that by 2030, at least 75% of global, commercial seafood production will be environmentally responsible or making verifiable improvements, and safeguards will be in place to ensure social responsibility.

Where We Began

The Alliance was formed in 2008 to build communication and coordination among conservation organizations working to promote sustainable seafood. Together later that year, the Alliance created a Common Vision for Sustainable Seafood that would serve as a roadmap to help seafood businesses develop and implement practices that support environmentally sustainable fishing and aquaculture production.

We accomplished a lot since then. Global fishing and aquaculture have started to shift to more sustainable practices and have begun to address the labor rights of seafood workers in sustainability efforts. Plus, an increased focus on the well-being of people working throughout seafood supply chains in recent years has led companies to begin making commitments to social responsibility, and with more fishery improvement projects (FIPs) than ever before, the FIP landscape continues to evolve with new implementers and markets with an increased focus on governance and social issues.

Where We Are Now

As the challenges facing our oceans and the people who depend on them continued to grow, we recognized the urgent need to scale large-scale change as fast as possible. So, alongside the evolving movement, our membership evolved too.

Today, we represent over 185 organizations across 30 countries, all committed to improving how seafood is produced, sold, and consumed worldwide. Our diverse community of NGOs, businesses, and academics is built on trust and shared ambition to create a better future. Our strength lies not only in numbers, but in the range of perspectives that collectively bring us closer to achieving our shared goals.

Our 2025-2028 Strategy is designed to leverage the unique role of our organization and harness the power of our community by bringing members together more often and in different ways and empowering them to scale and accelerate their impact.

While we donʼt aim to align all members on every issue, we are dedicated to finding mutually beneficial and adaptable solutions. We are committed to diversifying the voices at the table by fostering connections across sectors and stakeholders knowing that each contributes valuable perspectives, strengths, and resources. We strive to provide an accessible platform for sharing knowledge, creating community, and building skills. And above all, we will ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion are prioritized in all initiatives.
