Over the past decade, Beaver Street Fisheries (BSF) has been working with a Bahamas FIP Team to lead in a major fishery improvement project (FIP) in the Bahamas. Tropic Seafood Ltd., BSF’s sister company and lobster division, has been working collaboratively with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Bahamas Marine Exporters Association (BMEA), and the Department of Marine Resources (DMR) to address fishing practices and environmental impacts to help the lobster fishery thrive for generations to come.
“Protecting our local waters and the spiny lobster is not only important for our business now, but for the future of our ocean and industry,” said Glenn Pritchard, president of Tropic Seafood Ltd. “Sustainable fishing practices have always been important to our company, but anytime we can go above and beyond to earn third-party environmental certifications for our work, we will pursue that opportunity.”
