Environment and Sustainability

100% of products supplied by Wild Oceans is wild caught.

Wild Oceans engages with partners that are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

Fishing and production play a key role in supporting local communities, providing employment and economic stability for generations of families.

That’s why we are committed to working closely with our partners and fishing communities to continuously improve fishing practices and ensure long-term industry viability.

It is our priority that our partners implement management strategies which are responsive to environmental and socio-economic changes. These strategies ensure capture and landings are strictly controlled in support of the environment, sustainability and species protection, whilst considering the entire ecosystem.

We also support a range of initiatives and programs such as:

  • Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)
  • Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIP)
  • Fully Managed Fisheries
  • Limited Access / Vessel Licenses
  • Restricted Seasons
  • No-Take Marine Reserves (NTMR)
  • Total Fishery Take Limitations / Quotas
  • Minimum Size Restrictions
  • Biomass Controls
  • By-catch reductions, controls & limits
  • Prohibited Take of Berried Females
  • Turtle Exclusive Devices
  • Fish Exclusion Devices
  • Dolphin and sea mammal protections
  • Advanced Net Designs
  • Seal Exclusion Devices
  • Undersize Escape Gaps

Shared passions

Our partners must have well-defined management strategies to encourage long-term sustainability and protect the environment, individual species and entire ecosystems, these strategies outline strict controls over capture and landing practices.

Global collaboration

Globally, fishery managers have implemented Management Plans, No-Take Marine Reserves, and Fishery Improvement Projects, to bolster the sustainability of fisheries.

Fishery Improvement Projects, and other sustainability initiatives, unite Government organisations, stakeholders, managers, researchers and funders to improve fishery and management practices.

Fisheries are ecologically sustainable

When stocks of both target and non-target species are not overfished … and when the health, natural balance and productivity of marine ecosystems, populations of threatened, endangered or protected species and marine habitats are maintained.A truly sustainable fishery meets the long-term needs of fishermen, consumers and the environment together.” – Tooni Mahto, Australian Marine Conservation Society.
