WFCF Aquaculture and
Capture Fishery Standard
Public Consultation
Postelsia, a division of Where Food Comes From since 2020, has developed the WFCF Seafood Standards.
Postelsia specializes in placed-based seafood sustainability initiatives and drives transformative change across global seafood supply chains. The WFCF Seafood Standards and verification process are intended to certify farmers and fishers who are going above and beyond current industry standards when it comes to caring for animals and the environment, while ensuring that traceability remains intact.
Aquaculture Standard
The WFCF Aquaculture Standard was built for land-based (pond, raceway, flow-through or closed containment) and marine net pen systems.
Fishery Standard
The WFCF Fishery Standard covers near-shore, non-enhanced fisheries, and
aims to prioritize certification
of small-scale fisheries over industrial fleets.
Postelsia is soliciting feedback from all interested stakeholders on each of the above two seafood standards. This round of consultation covers both the environmental and animal health aspects of our programs. A full Terms of Reference for the consultation is available here. Feedback can be submitted via the Survey Monkey link or general comments directly to publiccomment@wherefoodcomesfrom.com.
The consultation period will run for 60 days from July 1 - August 31, 2024.
