Commenting on the release of the guide, Blake Lee-Harwood of SFP said: “We really believe that the seafood industry is in the best position to lead fishery improvement projects and we want to provide all the support that we can to help them do that. This Guide is an easy introduction to the subject of FIPs and we hope it will inspire readers to get more engaged in improvement projects and start talking to their colleagues across the seafood supply chain.”
