About SFG

Since 2012, SFG has been part of the joint efforts to keep our seas healthy and full of life. If you choose blue-label fish when you buy seafood, you can be sure that the fish you eat comes from wild-caught, traceable and sustainable fishing. The seas should be untamed, sustainable and rich in living organisms.
