ASIC FISH
The Asian seafood industry is aware of the importance of improving sustainability to continue supporting food security and safeguarding the livelihoods of small-scale fishers
Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) are an approach to generate and provide incentives for improvements in fisheries. This tool can allow industry stakeholders to work collaboratively to improve a fishery and FIPs are increasingly being recognized by international buyers as an interim step to certification.
The FIP Protocol for the Asian seafood industry is designed to be a workable tool to improve the environmental and social performance of fisheries. Aligned with globally significant sustainable fisheries certification schemes, the FIP Protocol could receive recognition in key export markets and/or could be used by investors or philanthropic organizations interested in supporting fisheries improvement.
