our mission

FishSource is a resource for anyone seeking reliable information about the status of fish stocks and the environmental performance of fisheries.

Our aim is to answer the main factual questions that buyers and their expert advisers face when evaluating the sustainability of fisheries.

our sources

The information currently on FishSource comes from consultants, government agency reports, and updates or extracts from existing fishery evaluations by NGO advisors to major retailers and fish buyers. But our aim is that all the information on FishSource will ultimately come from the foremost experts in each fishery, rated and commented on openly and transparently by visitors to FishSource.

To achieve this, FishSource has launched an interface that allows experts in individual fisheries to contribute information. We have appointed a Science Advisory Board to invite experts to participate, and created a user review facility that allows anyone who visits FishSource to rate the information provided and make comments.
