Sustainable Seafood Coalition (SSC) Sourcing working group meeting minutes - 10th July 2013 Presentation on Seafish RASS tool

What is RASS?
• Strong pressures from the supply chain - translated into a
requirement for suppliers to be able to ‘justify’ their buying and
sourcing policy.
• A Risk Assessment for Sourcing Seafood – an online webbased
database founded on objective, scientifically based
information that will enhance a buyer’s ability to source
supporting the seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
seafood responsibly.
• Aim is to provide scientifically-based, factual information at
stock, fishery and ecosystem levels which can be interrogated
in different ways according to the information required, with a
similar approach to information on aquaculture.
