Krill harvesting company Olympic Seafoods AS has achieved a full audit by Friend of the Sea.
The company underwent the thorough Friend of the Sea assessment aboard its specialised krill collection vessel Juvel in 2011. Results show the company operates in an environmentally responsible manner.
All items of the Olympic Seafoods’ Rimfrost Krill Collection are entitled to carry the Friend of the Sea logo that ensures 100% traceability and conformity to its demanding sustainability standards.
“We at Olympic Seafood AS firmly believe that the Antarctic krill fishing industry must be (and continue to be) strictly supervised to ensure that the Antarctic marine ecosystem remains healthy,” explains Even T Remøy, sales and marketing director at Olympic Seafoods. “We are careful about not damaging the krill stocks and collect only a very small proportion of the allowed catches. Everything we do is constantly monitored and tightly controlled by different authorities, including the Friend of the Sea.”
