The Seafood EcosystemTM is a collaborative social venture to be openly developed by global seafood stakeholders across industry sectors, regulatory agencies, and society.


Through generations of mismanagement and lack of understanding, our oceans have suffered greatly. Some refer to this as the The Tragedy of the Commons. Healing the harm done to the oceans and encouraging good stewardship of this resource as a “Commons” is the goal of Seafood Ecosystem. The oceans can be healed from this crisis. By combining input and governance from the seafood industry with modern industry based consensus and open-source software best practices for innovation, Seafood Ecosystem will create a dynamic and evolving foundation extending our vision to ocean regeneration and market growth.

We ask you to join us in the creation of the Seafood Ecosystem to serve as a central place of exchange for ocean information, education and public discourse; to serve as an independent forum and focus for ocean affairs. 

Full-chain open-source traceability

The Seafood Ecosystem is excited to be participating with Global Dialog for Seafood Traceability - GDST 1.0 Standards and fully endorses the effort. As we roll-out the Seafood Ecosystem this year we are thrilled that the seafood industry has come together to define interoperable open standards for seafood supply chain traceability. Continuous changes in seafood industry regulations, standards, and food safety requirements have created a critical need for the development of innovative and affordable traceability systems.

Inspired by the success of the Linux open-source operating system, we believe that building on an open-source platform and focusing on open interoperable standards Seafood.Works will offer the foundation for innovation among participating industry stakeholders and consumers connected through an encrypted ledger Internet of Things (IoT) framework. We need a food system we can trust, GDST standards are a major step towards that goal.

Multi-stakeholder Platform

A Purpose Driven Industry Designed to Solve
The Biggest Problem the World Has Ever Faced

In order for the global seafood community and stakeholders to begin collaboration on the creation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) it is critical that we begin with a basic agreement and understanding of the multi-stakeholder process.

Intelligent industry Framework

The OTE provides a model for how the seafood industry can better self-regulate for the benefit of its consumers and the environment. Such a model will become increasingly important as the world looks for ways to tackle environmental crises while offering regenerative solutions, greatly increased yields, quality and transparency for a market to support these practices.
