Alaska's Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) program has its first specialty seafood distributor certificate holder -- California-based Santa Monica Seafoods.
On Tuesday, Susan Marks, sustainability director at Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI), confirmed the company joined the program in October during an update provided as part of ASMI's All Hands meeting held online.
RFM Program Manager Jeff Regnart added the RFM certification has been expanded recently to North American fisheries beyond Alaska, and the program is currently "in conversation" with a fishery outside of Alaska.
