The Science
The Dream Team of Environmental Advocates & Fisheries Scientists
Chris Smyth while working at the Australian Conservation Foundation as its Healthy Oceans Campaigner teamed up with eminent marine scientist, Trevor Ward. Together they gathered leading marine scientists from across Australia to co-found a new benchmark in seafood sustainability assessments. The Sustainable Australian Seafood Assessment Criteria (SASAC) is regarded by many as the industry best practice and gold standard.
A few of the team who have helped over the years include:
To support the application of the Criteria, the scientists recently established the not-for-profit company, Sustainable Australian Seafood Assessment Limited (SASAL).
The Sustainable Australian Seafood Assessment Limited (SASAL) and Happy Fish share the common vision and commitment to facilitate unprecedented access for small-scale fishers to high-quality sustainability assessments that are targeted, technically robust and affordable.
Why did Happy Fish choose to work with the SASAL scientists?
