The Certification & Ratings Collaboration’s Sustainable Seafood Data Tool compiles information from multiple sources about environmental performance and human rights abuses and risks in global seafood production. The tool has two components:

• Environmental Performance. Launched in 2019 and most recently updated in 2025, this component of the data tool consolidates data from seven certification and ratings programs to provide a comprehensive overview of environmental sustainability progress and priority areas for improvement in global seafood.
• Human Rights Abuses and Risks. Launched in 2023 and updated in 2026, this component of the data tool compiles information from credible government and civil society reports to provide a snapshot of evidence and risks of human rights abuses in the seafood sectors of 93 seafood-producing countries.

The Collaboration hopes a range of actors in the sustainable seafood movement will use the Sustainable Seafood Data Tool, including:

• National, regional, and global policymakers, to inform policy decisions about resource management and human rights protections.
• Public and private funders, to identify improvement priorities for funding.
• Seafood businesses, to identify areas of environmental and human rights risk and opportunities to advocate for improvements.
• Collaborations, to monitor progress and identify opportunities for collective action that advances environmental and social responsibility in global seafood.
