Fishery Improvement Projects

Through our partnership with World Wildlife Fund, Red Lobster is helping improve the sustainability of Rock lobster fisheries in The Bahamas, Belize, Brazil, Honduras and Nicaragua – and helping to safeguard marine wildlife, the natural environment and the livelihoods of people who depend on ocean resources.

Specifically, we are supporting Rock lobster fishery improvement projects (FIPs) designed to strengthen the fisheries’ sustainability so that they can achieve an eco-certification. Red Lobster is engaging its suppliers and fishermen on the ground as well as local policymakers to drive better practices, including conducting scientific research to understand and reduce the impacts of Rock lobster fisheries on the marine habitat and developing international stock assessments to monitor Rock lobster stock.

These improvement efforts offer a step-by-step approach for fisheries to further their environmental and social sustainability.
