Sustainability & MarineWorld

Sustainability, Unable to even think where it cannot be deployed. It is a very within one, assuming expression of this spirit in letter.

Supply chain sustainability goes beyond the role of a corporate citizen and the networked departments. It can be considered an emotion first, followed by tools and standards.

Standards and guides like MSC certification, Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) Blue Label Certification, SA 8000, ISO 14001, ISO 26000, ISO20400 and other tools guide corporate houses towards building the right framework. Compliance with sustainability initiatives need to be guided by the fundamental purpose of ‘conserving society, the environment, and the economy’. To do this it is necessary to go back to the basics.

(1)   In the marine world Sustainability Sustainable seafood is seafood that is either caught or farmed in ways that consider the long-term vitality of harvested species and the well-being of the oceans, as well as the livelihoods of fisheries-dependent communities. It was first promoted through the sustainable seafood movement which began in the 1990s. This operation highlights overfishing and environmentally destructive fishing methods. Through a number of initiatives, the movement has increased awareness and raised concerns over the way our seafood is obtained.

(2)   The fishing industry in India employs over 14 million people, according to a survey conducted by Food and Agriculture Organization department of the United Nations.
India constitutes to about 6.3 per cent of the global fish production. However, as one of the sustainable development goals is to aim for a better aquatic balance, India has a long way to go to become a country which uses 100 per cent sustainable fishing practices.  ( Acknowledging and thanks http://www.businessworld.in/article/How-Sustainable-Is-The-Fishing-Industry-In-India-/20-04-2017-116747/)
