OUR MISSION IS TO:
To achieve this, we work to harness the collective power – and practical insights – of businesses, associations and other stakeholders who share our goal, through partnerships, and a global Dialogue process.
WHY?
by capturing and sharing key information at every point from catch or farm to sale.
TO ACHIEVE THIS:
We manage a global Dialogue process that brings together industry and civil society stakeholders to evolve the Standard to ensure its relevance in an ever-changing market. We develop guidance and software that supports all stakeholder’s needs for software’s interoperability, and traceability data’s completeness and veracity.
We are proud to be a partner driven non-profit foundation, building a global community for seafood traceability implementation. Becoming a Partner means making a public commitment for a common standard for interoperable digital traceability, and developing capability within your operations in alignment with the GDST standard.

Seafood is one of the most highly traded commodities in the world, and seafood supply chains can be incredibly long and complex, covering multiple businesses and countries.
The many stages between seafood being caught or farmed and it arriving on the shelf in a supermarket as a product, or on a restaurant table, means the ‘origin story’ of that seafood, which consumers are increasingly demanding, can easily be lost. The remedy to this is sharing information transparently, capturing and sharing key data at every event from catch, or farm, to sale.
This means ensuring that data, whether captured by hardware, generated by software or gathered and entered by people at one point in the supply chain can be used, shared and understood at all points of that chain; reliably and affordably, by businesses of all sizes.
When seafood supply chains employ interoperable digital traceability they are taking a critical step toward enabling the necessary tools to identify unsafe and/or unsustainable practices. When a whole supply chain utilizes these tools, risk assessments and corrective actions evolve more efficiently, and may result in safer and more environmentally and socially sustainable products coming to market.
