\u201cThe Crab Council has a proven record of sustainability work,\u201d said Bo Jackson. \u201cProCrab is excited to support its established mission and display the council\u2019s logo on our very first can to hit the United States in less than three weeks. We are very proud to be a part of the team and thank the Crab Council for being an MVP – most valuable partner.”<\/p>\n
Jackson & Partners enters the Crab Council as its 32nd member. Founded in 2009 the council is an industry-led sustainability effort whose membership includes US and international crab companies. The Crab Council receives its funding for fishery improvement projects in Southeast Asia from member assessments on every pound of blue swimming crab imported.<\/p>\n
Crab Council chair, Brice Phillips, welcomed Jackson & Partners to the council. \u201cBusiness and sports are often compared for their emphasis on teamwork,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Crab Council is a recognised and winning outfit of dedicated industry players, and we are excited to add Jackson & Partners to that roster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
