“Companies that import blue swimming crab and are committed to sustainability join the NFI Crab Council because they believe in the work we’re doing and because their customers want to know what they’re doing to protect and promote the resource,” said council Chairman Ed Rhodes of Phillips Foods.
The council includes leading crab importers such as Blue Star, Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods, Handy, Heron Point, Lawrence Street Seafood, Newport, Phillips, RGE, Supreme Lobster and Twin Tails.
The industry group has finalized an agreement with Indoneisia's Ministry of Fisheries to work on a blue swimming crab stock assessment.
