NFI works closely with policymakers to manage the
sustainability of the seafood industry.
Trade & Commerce
From farms that grow soy for aquaculture feed to cold storage facilities that hold seafood for restaurants and retailers, the benefits of seafood trade are found throughout the value chain.
Health & Nutrition
At a time when Americans are told to limit so many foods, seafood is among the handful of foods Americans are encouraged to eat more often.
Sustainability & Sourcing
What is sustainable seafood? Simply put, it is seafood caught or grown in a manner that satisfies the nutritional needs of the current generation without reducing the ability to satisfy the needs of future generations.
Seafood Safety
Seafood safety is overseen by the FDA’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) standards. The system is internationally recognized as one that successfully identifies where hazards might happen and puts in place measures to prevent them from occurring. Each step in the process is strictly monitored and controlled.
Economic Integrity
Suppliers who cheat customers cheat the entire industry. Suppliers, restaurants and retailers who follow the rules often get penalized in the marketplace. Fair and lawful business practices are essential for ensuring consumer confidence in seafood – the entire supply chain is responsible for maintaining this confidence.
