Friend of the Sea was created with the goal of preserving and protecting the marine habitat, which it promotes through the certification and promotion of products arising from fishing activities as well as from sustainable aquaculture. A virtuous pathway that follows the FAO guidelines and that comprises the application of highly rigorous and selective certification criteria. The assessments made by Friend of the Sea are conducted in the production companies by independent certification bodies, verified by Accredia such as DNV and Rina, and are assigned to independent observers accommodated on board the vessels.
