SBTN Launches First Ocean Science-Based Targets for Seafood

On March 18, 2025, the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) launched the first-ever ocean science-based targets, starting with seafood, at the Seafood Expo North America. This milestone completes SBTN’s initial suite of science-based targets for nature – providing companies with a clear framework for environmental action across freshwater, land, and now ocean. Highlights: New ocean targets for seafood provide a globally recognized, standardized…
