The James Beard Foundation (JBF) said Friday it plans to increase the sustainability of its seafood supply chain by entering into a Sustainable Seafood Partnership (SSP) with four seafood purveyors:

  • Australis Barramundi
  • Blue Ocean Mariculture
  • Skuna Bay
  • Verlasso
As part of the SSP program, participating seafood purveyors commit to offering products with a Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch rating of “Yellow” or better.
They will also contribute to discussions on critical topics related to sustainable seafood at industry events and public forums across the country, including the James Beard Foundation’s Sustainable Seafood Issue Summits and Culinary Labs.
