Meat & Seafood: Fishery Improvement Projects
FISHING FOR SUSTAINABILITY
FROM SEA TO SHORE AND BEYOND
The sea provides a bountiful supply of food, so it’s in our best interest to fish responsibly. Participating with suppliers and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) allows us to promote better practices to get the best our oceans have to offer for our stores and our shoppers, while ensuring this natural resource is protected for future generations.

GROUPER AND SNAPPER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
We support efforts to improve stock assessments, obtaining better bycatch and discard data.
PINK SHRIMP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
We aim to reduce bycatch of fish and sea turtles by encouraging fishermen to keep their gear well-tuned.

We promote the development of evaluation tools to help estimate the status of mahi-mahi population along the eastern Pacific Ocean.
