Garrets looking to add our support to sustainable fishing
Expanding our programme of providing free range products to vessels, it is the intention of Garrets International Ltd during 2011, to investigate and implement a policy of supplying fish caught from sustainable sources.
“This is an ambitious project, and like the free range chicken and eggs before it we have to consider all the factors before implementation” said Derrick Samms, Managing Director of Garrets International Ltd. He added “We all know that sustainable fishing is vital for the global fish stock. We purchase approximately five metric tonnes of fish per month and it is our aim that all of this fish is sourced from well managed sustainable stocks.”
Barry Samms, who is heading this project said, “It is not just about supplying the vessels with different types of fish, our goal is that the seafarers will be well informed regarding the choices available and have easy access to guidance on matters like, menu planning, recipes and cooking techniques for these non endangered species.” He continued, “As well as our own team working on this, we are being assisted by our regular suppliers, and our friends at Compassion for World Farming.”
