GOLD RIVER, BC – Building on their longtime commitment to offering sustainably fished or farmed seafood, Skuna Bay will now join the national movement to strengthen the world’s seafood supply chain by becoming an official James Beard Foundation Impact Program Sustainable Seafood Partner. This partnership unites Skuna Bay with the broader culinary community supported by JBF through their Impact Program work.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, more than 90 percent of the world's fisheries are either fully fished or overfished, making the preservation of marine life and diversification of seafood purchasing habits more important than ever.
“Seafood purveyors like Skuna Bay are experts on the complex seafood supply chain and the benefits of sustainable fishing and farming,” said Katherine Miller, senior director of Food Policy Advocacy for the James Beard Foundation. “Becoming a Sustainable Seafood Partner allows them to share their unique expertise with chefs and other restaurant professionals, bringing both sides of the industry together to change the way we think about the seafood on our plate.”
