| Abstract: |
The Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (GSMFC), Trace Register, LLC, and MRAG Americas, Inc. started a regional traceability program aimed at ensuring confidence in the market about Gulf of Mexico seafood. This program will empower the regional fisheries management bodies, the seafood industry, and consumers by providing critical information about seafood from the Gulf as it travels from the boat to the plate. The project is a component of the GSMFC?s Oil Disaster Recovery Program, which is funded by NOAA Award No. NA10NMF4770481 in an effort to mitigate the economic effects of the oil disaster on Gulf fisheries. With regional coordination by the GSMFC, this program is currently funded through the end of 2015. |
| Purpose: |
The objective of the voluntary Gulf Seafood Trace program is to help drive increased market demand for U.S. Gulf of Mexico seafood by telling its unique story and ensuring confidence in the market. The program aims to place confidence into the marketplace by creating innovative information portals, integrating external data such as seafood testing results, and answering complex fisheries management questions. It will also be well placed to meet the requirements of eco-labeling programs that require chain-of-custody for fishery products. |
