Friend of the Sea (FoS) has recertified yellowfin tuna from Ceylon Fresh Seafood (Pvt) Ltd, and has certified swordfish from the same company for the first time.

Tuna and swordfish from Ceylon Fresh Seafood are Friend of the Sea certified

Products from the Sri Lankan hook and line vessels operating in the Indian Ocean and supplying Ceylon Fresh Seafood can now carry the FoS sustainability seal of approval.

Yellowfin tuna and swordfish are considered not to be overexploited in this fishing area, according to the latest IOTC stock assessments. No protected areas are affected by the fishing activity, and the fishing method is selective and does not impact the seabed. The company is also approved Dolphin-Safe by the Earth Island Institute.

Ceylon Fresh Seafood has a traceability system in place and it can demonstrate that products originate only from the Friend of the Sea approved fleet.

“We care about the health of the marine habitat and that is why we rely on Friend of the Sea to prove the sustainable origin of our products,” said Prasad Gunathilaka of Ceylon Fresh Seafood. “Friend of the Sea award is a great confirmation of the validity of our engagement.”
