Aisla Jones, formerly fisheries and aquaculture manager at UK retailer The Co-op, has joined the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) as its new market development manager for the UK and Ireland.

She started in the new role in October, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Jones was at The Co-op for almost six years before leaving to join the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) in 2022 as partnership program director.
She was later replaced at the retailer by former Marine Stewardship Council fisheries outreach manager Katie Keay.

Before joining The Co-op, Jones was seafood sustainability officer with WWF UK and also holds a role as a member of the MarinTrust Governing Body Committee.

Jones won a Nuffield Farming Scholarship in 2021, under a UK program to bring positive change to agriculture through the development of its future leaders, sending them overseas to learn from others and helping them share their ideas when they return home.

Jones' work focuses on how retail and supply chains can create demand for more sustainable aquaculture feed.

"It's been fun and I'll miss the team at Sustainable Fisheries Partnership but excited to be staying in seafood and joining Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)," Jones wrote on LinkedIn.
