Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries
Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries is a British Virgin Islands based aquaculture company that aims to sustainably farm Caribbean Spiny Lobster. The underlying principle of Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries' biological neutrality and its business is to create a scalable sustainable lobster farming model that can be reproduced throughout the world.
The company was founded on knowledge gained from trials and cultivation of lobsters in a researcher’s backyard with impressive results. From these humble beginnings, a business was created which would be the first lobster farm given accreditation by the Marine Stewardship Council for producing sustainable lobsters. Our resident Marine Biologist, Alex Wills, looks at the overall settlement of a population of pueruli (juvenile lobsters) for a viable harvest.
Being both sustainable and a true farming operation, Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries offers the best of both worlds; consistency of supply of lobsters without the negative environmental impact. At a time when fish stocks of all species are under pressure, and the end user is willing to pay a premium for certified sustainably produced seafood, Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries aims to be a world leader in both the sustainable production of lobsters and the technology supporting sustainable harvest.
