India Palk Bay Flower Shrimp Trawl coordinated by bluesensus

 

The German retail chain ALDI SOUTH Germany has been buying sea caught shrimp from SHORE/Ristic for the German retail market for years already. Both companies strive to increase the share of sustainable resources in their products and to minimize the negative ecological and social impacts of production. This also applies for responsible fishing. Therefore, together they support a Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) in South-India in close collaboration and work towards continuous improvement within the supply chain. The common aim is to guide the fishery in their development towards MSC certification. ALDI SOUTH secured funding and jointly with SHORE/Ristic assigned bluesenus with the implementation of the FIP. After final selection of the Palk Bay Flower Shrimp fishery bluesensus started to promote the idea of a Fishery Improvement Project in India in 2017. In 2018 a pre-assessment against MSC criteria has been conducted and a first larger stakeholder event could be organized in Tuticorin (Tamil Nadu-India) discussing the FIP with fishermen, processors and other involved stakeholders in May 2018. Since mid of 2019 the Indian NGO MSSRF supports the local implementation activities like an on-board observer program or the development of a Code of Practise for the fishermen community. Please, find more details on the FIP on www.fisheryprogress.org
