Food Service Management and Sustainable Seafood
Awareness about sustainability is cutting through the seafood sector as well.
What they're saying…
• 88% of chain restaurant decision-makers

the future supply of seafood."

Sustainable Seafood - Why now?
Growth in Seafood Consumption Challenges World Supply
• Seafood consumption worldwide has doubled since 1973; by 2020 it is
estimated there will be an additional need for 32 million tons.
• In the United States alone, per capita consumption of seafood has increased
over 26% since 1980.
Global consumption has reached an all-time high!
31 January, 2011 - Global per-capita seafood consumption reached 17
kilograms (live weight equivalent) in 2008, an all-time high, the Food and
Agriculture Organization report “The State of World Fisheries and
Aquaculture 2010,” released on Monday.

And demand will continue to grow!
Local Sourcing, Sustainable Seafood, Healthy Kids’
Meals, and Gluten-Free Cuisine among Hottest
Restaurant Menu Trends in 2011
National Restaurant Association survey of more than 1,500
professional chefs reveals that sustainability, nutrition and food
trucks will be hot trends for restaurants next year
31 January, 2011 - For the first time, the U.S. government is
advising all Americans to eat seafood at least twice a week for
heart and brain benefits, including pregnant and breastfeeding
women. Previously, the twice-a-week recommendation was
limited to heart patients.

Increased demand is threatening our oceans
This tremendous increase in seafood consumption, coupled with inadequate regulations
and fisheries management, is placing a major stress on our oceans natural resources.
Oversized fleets fishing above sustainable
capacities - currently 2.5X larger!
Lack of adequate regulations: Illegal,
Unregulated and Unreported catch (IUU)

Wasteful Fishing Practices
Bycatch
Deep sea bottom trawling

The result today…
• More than 75% of the world’s fisheries are
now overexploited, fully exploited,
significantly depleted or recovering from
overexploitation.
• 90% of all the “big fish” – large-bodied sharks,
tuna, marlin and swordfish – have
disappeared as a result of industrialized
fishing.
A study by a team of leading fishery scientists concluded that the world’s fisheries
are in collapse and if current trends continue they will be beyond repair by 2048.
In 1992, the devastating collapse of the cod stocks off the
east coast of Newfoundland sounded a global warning bell
TM
Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) created heightened awareness of the
problem and many have taken definitive action to create certification and
oversight programs.
Sodexo is taking a leadership position in the industry by addressing the need for
sustainable seafood options for their clients and their customers.
