The National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca) in Chile has launched the call for participation in the Responsible Consumption Program 'Blue Seal', which recognizes products from establishments based on criteria of legality and sustainability.
Among the requirements that these establishments must meet are: sourcing from suppliers with legal origin certification, having up-to-date health and municipal permits, and not having been sanctioned for violations of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Law.
In addition, restaurants, hotels, and other retail consumption centers that source exclusively from suppliers already holding the Blue Seal can also apply for this accreditation.
"The Blue Seal is a commitment to go beyond obligations in order to contribute to the preservation of hydrobiological resources. We invite all those who market marine products and resources to join this initiative and obtain this seal. In this way, citizens can easily identify places where they can buy or consume with the peace of mind of supporting the sustainability of our resources," explained Sernapesca Program Coordinator María José Gutiérrez.
The selected establishments will display a numbered seal in a visible location and will be included in the official registry so that consumers can access clear and reliable information.
Last month, the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Subpesca) reported, as it does every year, the status of fisheries nationwide, with 54% of them in a healthy state according to the data verified in 2024.
