The mission of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) is to maintain healthy ocean ecosystems, enhance fishing livelihoods, and secure food supplies. SFP improves access to information to guide responsible seafood sourcing, and enhances the ability of seafood companies and partners to influence government fisheries policies and management practices to improve fisheries.

SFP works to improve fisheries through Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIPs). A FIP is collaboration between retailers, their suppliers, and NGO advisors that aims to influence government policies and management practices and improve marine conservation and fish farming practices and their sustainability. More details can be found on www.sustainablefish.org.

The North Pacific/Salmon Coordinator is primarily responsible for overseeing all aspects of SFP’s engagement around salmon issues. This includes tracking developments in individual fisheries, reporting internally and externally, and coordinating with numerous stakeholders. The North Pacific/Salmon Coordinator may be asked to support engagement in other North Pacific fisheries and issues.
