SUSTAINABILITY
We view our businesses as that of Ocean stewards
The OCEANS FIRST seal is Cuna del Mar’s commitment to guaranteed quality for more sustainable seafood while protecting the oceans. Our Oceans First approach is how we provide the best tasting, nutritious and healthy fish, responsibly developed in their native habitat. It is Cuna del Mar’s commitment to healthy fish and environments, to healthy people, and communities.
When we nurture the oceans, the oceans nurture us. Beneath the deep blue waves of the open sea, there is power and vitality. As our diets evolve to be healthier, seafood is a natural and delicious option. The oceans’ gifts; however, can be finite.
We believe the oceans are vital to humanity. That is why we are fully committed to our Oceans First approach—our quality guarantee for more sustainable seafood while protecting the oceans. Our Oceans First approach ensures the best tasting, nutritious fish for you to enjoy.
Our range of products, including Sol Azul oysters, Blue Ocean’s Hawaiian Kanpachi, Open Blue Cobia and Earth Ocean Farms Pacific Snapper and Totoaba, are naturally high in protein, rich in Omega 3, and a good source of Vitamin D.
With an Oceans First approach, we have created and continue to constantly improve on innovative methods in strong current aquaculture to responsibly care for our fish in their native habitat. Our meticulous stewardship from hatchery to maturity, including stringent multistage inspections, means healthy and succulent fish. Cuna del Mar is dedicated to leading the world towards healthier living, from healthy fish to healthy environments, from healthy people, to healthy communities.
