“The application of the Ecuador small pelagics FIP to the MarinTrust Improver Programme is an important step forward for the Ecuadorian Marine Ingredients Industry. Moving the FIP through the MarinTrust Improver Programme is an important step in becoming fully MarinTrust certified. Not only will this allowance into the IP open up possibilities with demanding supply chains, but more importantly, it will move the fishery gradually towards better management which will eventually benefit the longevity of the industry. We’re looking forward to seeing the FIP becoming fully certified in due time.”
