SFP convenes, educates, and advises supply chain stakeholders including major retailers, restaurant chains, seafood brand owners, buyers, producers (fishers), NGOs, and fisheries management and scientific institutions to improve fisheries practices and policies. Some of SFP's oldest partners include McDonald's, Walmart, and High Liner Foods. Today, SFP has established partnerships with approximately 40 of the world's top companies engaged in the seafood trade. A full list of SFP's partners can be found on our web site at www.sustainablefish.org.The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 had a profound impact on our efforts to achieve our stated Target 75 initiative goals. Originally, this initiative was dedicated to ensuring that 75 percent (by volume) of seafood from a range of strategic seafood sectors comes from fisheries and fish farms that are either certified as sustainably managed or clearly improving by the end of 2020. Despite the pandemic, SFP continued to focus on its Target 75 initiative in 2020, with strong support from SFP's partners. However, efforts to launch new fishery improvement projects (FIPs) were hampered by an inability to meet in-person with the fisheries stakeholders, who would lead and implement FIPs. Efforts to reach the 75 percent goal are largely focused on SFP's three platforms for fishery and aquaculture improvement: Supply Chain Roundtables (SRs), Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), and Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs). All of the SRs have identified those fisheries and aquaculture regions that are key to delivering the Target 75 objectives and have prioritized catalyzing FIPs and AIPs accordingly. The prioritized sectors that require the most attention are tuna, farmed shrimp, fishmeal/oil, snapper/grouper, crab, octopus, and squid. Sectors that are closer to meeting the T75 requirements receive less attention, e.g., wild whitefish and cold-water small shrimp. Throughout 2020, SFP produced in-depth reports covering many of these sectors, to serve both as references and benchmarks for the initiative's supporters.A main component of SFP's strategy includes improving access to information used to guide responsible seafood sourcing. SFP implements this strategy in a number of ways, including by catalyzing and advising industry-led Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) and Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs). A FIP or AIP is a collaboration among relevant stakeholders to influence policies and management practices and improve the sustainability of fishing and fish farming operations. Once established, a FIP functions as a continuous improvement vehicle that aligns the interests of the supply chain. It sets and implements its own improvement objective (using public workplans and measurable milestones) and is designed to be led by industry and to outlive the initial involvement of NGOs such as SFP, functioning as long as necessary to achieve sustainability goals. Worldwide, SFP is currently monitoring and advising improvement in more than 170 FIPs and AIPs.SFP also organizes fish buyers into Supply Chain Roundtables (SRs) that oversee the creation of FIPs and AIPs in their areas and monitor progress. An SR is a forum for processors, importers, and others that buy directly from a specific seafood sector to work together in a pre-competitive environment to achieve improvements in fisheries or aquaculture. Currently, SFP works with approximately 16 supply chain roundtables. In 2016, SFP began emphasizing industry-driven efforts over SFP initiating FIPs, AIPs, and similar projects on its own. SFP plans and holds many SR meetings to coincide with the major annual seafood industry trade shows in Boston and Brussels. This gives SR participants a chance to meet in person to discuss progress and related issues, plus it gives SFP the chance to be on hand face-to-face with the participants to answer questions, provide updated data connected to a particular project, and offer additional information. Given the pandemic, in 2020 none of the seafood trade shows took place, and SFP's SR meetings were held remotely and on-line.SFP engages and educates the seafood supply chain by sponsoring annual Fisheries Forums that provide opportunities for our partners and other stakeholders to meet, learn, share information and lessons learned, and decide strategies for achieving sustainable fisheries. However, this was impossible during 2020. Instead, SFP sponsored various on-line trainings and presentations for our industry partners and other members of seafood supply chains in order to inform and build capacity for improvement efforts.Another important information tool SFP uses to inform improvement in fisheries is its FishSource program-an online information resource that records the status of fish stocks and fisheries. SFP created FishSource (www.fishsource.com) so that fisheries experts around the world can share their public scientific and technical information and provide major seafood buyers with up-to-date, impartial, actionable information on the status of fisheries and the improvements that are needed to become sustainable. FishSource currently provides public information on 4,257 wild capture fisheries. Since FishSource Aquaculture launched in 2018, 58 public profiles have been published.Examples of SFP's progress toward globally sustainable fisheries in 2020 include: * Ocean Disclosure Project: Established by SFP in 2015, the Ocean Disclosure Project (ODP) works toward the goal of 100-percent sustainably produced seafood by coordinating efforts to deliver greater transparency in global seafood supply chains. The ODP encourages and supports retailers and other seafood-buying companies to disclose information about their seafood sources. For businesses that source wild-caught and/or farmed seafood, the ODP provides a simple way to answer the question: Where does my seafood come from? Participation in the ODP has increased from a single participating seafood retailer at its launch in 2015 to approximately 30 participants currently. * CALAMASUR, an industry-led group of squid producers, processors, and exporters from Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, advocated for and achieved a victory in February 2020, when the Commission of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO) issued the first Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) for jumbo flying squid in international waters. The CMM will define operational guidelines related to the use of vessel monitoring systems, preparation of catch reports per vessel, design of a biological monitoring system for research purposes, increased observer coverage, and the inclusion of Peruvian artisanal vessels in the registry of vessels fishing in international waters that is monitored by the SPRFMO. * The Indonesian Demersal Association (ADI) was formalized in February 2020, as a platform of snapper and grouper processors/exporters across fisheries to work together with government and other stakeholders to facilitate fisheries improvements and a national snapper and grouper FIP in Indonesia.For further information on SFP and highlights of our past year, please visit www.sustainablefish.org or download our 2019-2020 annual report at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ko3i_MANycEwccknNPTZR7NIbfd78751/view 6166280 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 25 1 1 1 1 ID 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA AR X X Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Foundation 8087262582 4348 Waialae Avenue 692 Honolulu HI 96816 Jean-Louis Meuric Director, Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cat Dorey Director, Vice-Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Manish Kumar Director, Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Rhodes Director, Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Yanagihara Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Susanna Fuller Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bambi Semroc Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Aoife Martin Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gai Kula Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cristina Rumbatitis del Rio Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Betsy Ward Director, partial year 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lafcadio Cortesi Director, partial year 2.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Donaldson Director, partial year 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Cannon Pres. & CEO, Ex-Officio Di 40.00 X 287449 0 24044 Andrei Klimenko COO 40.00 X 137968 0 14818 Chisa Woodley CFO 40.00 X 109273 0 12035 Charles Burg Dev & Govt Relations Direc 40.00 X 122229 0 48232 Kathryn Novak Buyer Engagement Director 40.00 X 134384 0 18991 Braddock Spear Systems Director 40.00 X 133213 0 27107 David Martin Programs Dep Div Director 40.00 X 118276 0 47378 Blake Lee-Harwood Programs Division Director 40.00 X 143016 0 30047 1185808 0 222652 8 0 1 0 Globalization Partners One Boston Place Suite 2600 Boston MA 02108 Global employment provider 423146 MERUL PATEL 3 College Road Brighton East Sussex UK BN2 1 JA Information technology 127739 Gingerfish Ltd 7 Kate Way Karori Wellington NZ 6012 Fishery Technical Analysis 119812 FISH MATTER PTY LTD 14 Maxwell Crescent Stanwell Park NSW AS 2508 Research 110240 FAI FARMS 8 Smithy Wood Drive Shjeffield UK S35 qQN Diagnostic services 110000 5 852768 8087401 8940169 Fishery technical supp 541610 131367 131367 Metrics income 561000 92421 92421 223788 530 530 9164487 131367 92421 530 X 621583 279497 342086 3459085 2857800 530199 71086 54209 42935 8582 2692 334754 277000 46189 11565 324442 280605 38091 5746 1862725 1729803 132922 601302 500211 99655 1436 32846 25623 7223 4000 4000 126537 125413 1124 10693 10693 22309 22309 54623 36700 15025 2898 7509108 6166280 1247405 95423 3942632 3511963 598777 511213 807108 3131447 29178 30696 223330 227536 5601025 7412855 552834 697405 11880 552834 709285 X 1022770 1442299 4025421 5261271 5048191 6703570 5601025 7412855 1655379 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 9396011 3834001 7909162 7492477 8940169 37571820 9396011 3834001 7909162 7492477 8940169 37571820 23184849 14386971 165 166 437 3674 530 4972 37576792 353075 0.38290 0.41930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 9218676 54189 54189 9164487 0 9164487 7563297 54189 54189 7509108 0 7509108 Part X, Line 2: The Foundation's audited financial statements contain the following disclosure regarding uncertain tax positions: "The Foundation adheres to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
