This Sustainable Seafood Week, find out our story on sustainability.

For years, our supporters contacted us with queries that went along the lines of:

I love our oceans and I love eating seafood – how can I make a sustainable choice?

So we developed Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide, which became Australia’s first online sustainability guide for seafood consumers in Australia.

16 years on, Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide has matured and become known as GoodFish.

We continue to independently assess 160+ species and fish stocks and have introduced a restaurant arm to the project, aiming to work together with chefs and connect them with sustainable fisheries.

What does sustainability mean to us?

GoodFish – Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide is entirely independent. So you can rest assured that our assessments and listings have not been greenwashed. There’s no government or industry funds or interests involved to influence our work.

Our sustainability assessments are based on a holistic approach to evaluating the environmental impact of Australian fisheries and aquaculture operations.

By holistic, we mean that we don’t just look at fish stocks, we also take into account the surrounding direct and indirect impacts fishing and aquaculture has on our oceans and environment.

The goal? Ensuring healthy oceans forever.
