Electronic and hand-kept logs are required to guarantee complete transparency and traceability, assuring customers when, where, and how their products were caught. Wood’s Fisheries only buys from boats that have a highly experienced crew and captains who can navigate the ocean floor for shrimp without any impact on the habitat. These captains are required to keep a log, which is verified by observers placed on the boat, of any environmental concerns they may come across, such as nets getting caught on a reef. Fishermen for Wood’s Fisheries implement BRD and TED technologies and limit their drag time in order to reduce risk of bycatch. Wood’s Fisheries is also involved in a Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Florida Shrimp Fishery Improvement Project to reduce bycatch and ensure compliance of BRD and TED devices.The company only partners with retailers that share the same concerns, pushing for the most sustainable product.
