About Cleaners Seafood
Our statement and contribution
It seems obvious yet worldwide as a species we humans have not been very good at associating gustative pleasure with environmental or social responsibility.
That is the object of our company, provide legal, traceable and sustainable seafood. To do so we are aiming to change the business-as-usual model of high intensity fishing to one that constantly aims to reduce environmental impact.
Yes, we believe in change from the inside out, where fishers see an economic and practical advantage in reducing their intensity of fishing to produce smaller, targeted quantities dedicated to those folks who have the means to eat high quality, and environmentally clean seafood.
Buy buying products from cleanerseafood.com you can be sure that, if there is a more environmentally and socially way of producing the purchased, seafood we are game to implement it and so the fishers we work with.
Indeed, if you want cheap, this is not the right product for you because our engagement is to use the very driver of destructive fishing practices, money to pull fishers in another direction.
This is particularly the case with fish blader where the rarer the species the more its short-term economic value increases. On the contrary, another approach could be to produce a product that drives fishing effort down not up. Historically the bladder market has been a major driver of overfishing. But what if one could convince fishers to switch gears completely to fish less, catch less and make as much profit if not more from less work. It’s a no brainer and that’s cleanerseafood’s business strategy, use a niche market such as the traceable fish bladder market to incentivize sustainable conservation measures in fisheries that are currently watching passively as the very resources, they depend on are being depleted.
How we work
This is how we work; the fishers and boat owners we work with sign this chart engaging theme on a series of environmental measures which include the installation on a camera that collects data on catch in time and space. Concerning the fish, we make sure the captain selects specimens that are of the ‘right quality’ which for us means the right size, the right sex and the definitely not a fish that is gravid. We then get this fish product to the highest of high-end markets so that the payout to the fisher creates the desire to maintain access to this market. This is where things get interesting, not only do we ‘watch’ the production to guarenty that the fish product was captures without impacting protected species, but also we incentivize reduced effort on the target species. In the end why work more for an income that can be increased by working less? Yes, you read that right, make more by working less and by impacting less.
For more details, we can set up a call, but fir now that’s all we are willing to share because we don’t want ill willed folks that are uniquely driven by financial aspirations to break something they cant even fathom. environmentally responsible.
