Global Sustainable Supply Chains for Marine Commodities
The document outlines a workshop for the UNDP-SFP Marine Commodities Project aimed at promoting sustainable supply chains for marine fisheries in Costa Rica, Ecuador, the Philippines, and Indonesia, with a focus on market leverage-based fisheries improvement. It details project objectives, including the establishment of sustainable fisheries information systems, engagement of various stakeholders, and development of fisheries improvement projects (FIPs). The initiative is part of a larger effort to align market interests and improve the sustainability of marine resources globally.

Editor's Notes
- #6 focus is on ecosystems, food production, thus two other focuses are on enhancing livelihoods in the seafood industry and making sure that businesses are sustainable and financially viable- Goal that all have access to sustainable fisheries resources
- #7 -Founder and CEO Jim Cannon working for a conservation organization, approached by McDonald’s-McD was concerned about the supply of whitefish for filet o’fish sandwich – previously used cod, but declines were preventing them from getting enough – switching to other fish like pollock and hake, but were worried about the fate of those stocks–They saw the connection between environmental policy and business needs and wanted conservation organization’s help to bring cod stocks back and make sure their global supply of whitefish was stable -We are business to business org-Funding from Walton Family Foundation, Packard Foundation, and corporate support from our major buyer partners.
- #8 -Our work is based on two things: Information and Improvement-Work with the retail/foodservice end of the seafood supply chain – help with supply chain analysis / internal procurement policies-Also work with the seafood supplier and producer end of the supply chain – providing strategic and technical guidance to help them meet the requirements of their buyers, and convening Fishery or Aquaculture Improvement Projects when necessary
- #9 All over the world, focuses in North America, South America, Southeast Asia and Europe
- #10 Logos of our major buyers partners – a lot of interest in sustainability across the supply chain
- #11 Strengthening demand for sustainable marine commodities; Fostering national enabling environments for sustainable marine commodities supply chain trade; Registering and socialize examples of sustainable supply chains for marine commodities amongst commercial stakeholders Developing sustainable marine commodities information and systems to benefit responsible trading decisions.
- #13 Component 2:Note: - Mixed, Global level and country level coordinating platforms (this includes work in country as well as the costs of bringing international specialists in to assess / engage both national and international (supply chain participants) in this process.- Significant of national and international stakeholder participation, including supply chain, NGO, FIP and national governments.
- #17 -FIPs & Aquaculture (AIPs) designed to bring together multiple stakeholders in the fishery to build consensus around needed improvements in policies, conservation measures, and fishing/farming practices
- #20 One of the other programs we run is FishSource – online database of fisheries info-gives some scores (on a scale of 10, but doesn’t determine what is sustainable and what’s not) and provide info
- #21 FishSource info feeds into a softwaresystem we developed called Metrics that creates a custom dashboard for each of our buyer partners – shows them all the seafood they are buying/selling along with the risk ratings and sustainability info – gives real time measurement toward their objectives
