Mind Fish Co. has launched the first Fair Trade Certifiedä canned tuna product available for purchase in the North American market. Mind Fish partnered with Fair Trade USAÒ to support a program designed to help restore healthy marine ecosystems, improve livelihoods, and to build resilient coastal communities in the Maldives through their line of Pole and Line Caught Skipjack Tuna products.
All of Mind Fish’s Skipjack Tuna are 100% pole and line caught by day boats and packed in the Maldives ensuring sustainability, traceability, and full transparency of their supply chain. Illegal fishing and human rights violations are widely-documented in the canned tuna industry, so the introduction of Fair Trade Certified tuna to the US Market is exciting news in the movement for sustainable and ethical seafood.
Mind Fish’s environmentally and socially responsible seafood line up includes:
— Skipjack Tuna in Spring Water: Fair Trade Certifiedä skipjack tuna by Fair Trade USAÒ, spring water.
— Skipjack Tuna in Olive Oil: Fair Trade Certifiedä skipjack tuna by Fair Trade USAÒ, olive oil, water, salt.
Fair Trade USA helps ensure fair wages and safe working conditions for the 500+ fishers and 600+ cannery workers in the Maldives. The fishers and cannery workers decide where to invest the Fair Trade Community Development Funds. The funds have been used to improve sea safety equipment, install ice and water plants, and build parks for the community.
Mind Fish recognizes that it is critical to protect the oceans in order to protect the livelihoods that depend on it.
Consumers can now have a clear conscience about the sustainability and positive social impact with their Fair Trade Certified™ canned tuna. Mind Fish products are available for purchase through www.mindfishco.com and Amazon.
