Many of our supporters report that supporting Cornwall Good Seafood Guide has really helped their business. Increasingly people are more aware of marine conservation issues and thanks to the 'Blue Planet effect' no one wants to support fishing that harms the environment.
Providing infomation on sustainability to your customers can be difficult but by supporting us you can demonstrate that you care.
We also provide leaflets and training for your staff to make sure that they give the correct messages out to your customers.
Results of market research carried out by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, show that consumers want sustainable seafood, 84% of 1000 questioned said they would prefer to buy seafood which has been caught with minimal damage to the environment and 97.2% of those questioned said that they would be more likely to buy seafood labelled as ‘recommended’ by Cornwall Good Seafood Guide.
One example of a higly sucessful local business that has embraced sustainabiliy is the Harbour Lights Fish and Chip shop, Falmouth and sister business Frasers Fish and Chips, Penzance. Owner Peter Fraser has been a supporter of Cornwall Good Seafood Guide since its inception.
