Mission,
Vision &
Approach

Our mission is to drive seafood supply chain oversight at scale, retain value in the supply chain for members buying and selling shrimp and tuna products to trade with confidence.

The Seafood Task Force is an initiative for the seafood industry by the seafood industry.

The Seafood Task Force is a non-profit, US trade association built on the necessity for better transparency and oversight in seafood supply chains.

Our vision is a future where seafood supply chains of our members are fully traceable, free from the risk of human rights violations and free from environmental degradation.
