Seattle Fish Co. 2023 Impact Report

Reflecting on our journey over the past few years, we are proud of the significant strides we have made. Two key insights stand out. First, as we assess our carbon footprint, we recognize that one of our most significant impacts comes from flying fresh fish over long distances. Second, an Outlaw Ocean Project report has shed light on labor issues in some areas of the seafood supply chain, prompting us to take proactive steps. To address the first issue, we have highlighted later in this report some of the differences between different fish, to allow our customers to choose lower carbon footprint products if they would like to. Regarding labor standards, we have taken decisive actions. We have ceased sourcing products processed in China where possible until we can ensure high labor standards are met. Additionally, we are collaborating closely with our shrimp suppliers to guarantee that shrimp from India is processed in well-managed facilities. While these issues are complex and stopping purchases from certain countries may not always be the best solution, we are committed to working with our suppliers to establish and meet clear standards, leveraging our purchasing power for positive change . This approach mirrors our support for Fishery Improvement Projects, where instead of abandoning fisheries with challenges, we use our resources to drive improvements. Ultimately, both challenges stem partly from the need for the US to import a significant portion of the seafood we consume. Although we export over $5 billion worth of seafood annually, many of our favorite items, such as salmon and shrimp, are imported, often from Europe and Chile. By efficiently and economically growing and processing more of these items in North America, we can reduce labor abuse risks and carbon footprints . There are numerous suitable sites for aquaculture across the US and Canada, but the complex regulatory environment poses significant barriers in terms of time and money. While additional land-based agriculture is limited without harming natural habitats, offshore aquaculture presents a promising opportunity to grow more food with minimal and short-term environmental impacts. This is why we support initiatives like Stronger America Through Seafood and the AQUAA Act. Seafood remains one of the healthiest and most sustainable protein sources , and we are excited to continue supporting the market's evolution as our food needs grow.
