Industry Expertise
American Seafood is Sustainable Seafood.
Twelve years ago, Stove Boat created and began operating SavingSeafood.org, a media outreach and public relations effort focused on covering the most important news, issues and policies affecting the commercial fishing industry. Stove Boat and Saving Seafood staff have developed subject matter expertise on a wide variety of regulatory and economic issues related to the seafood industry, and the organization has a solid reputation for uncovering and disseminating the truth about the issues. As a result, SavingSeafood.org has become one of the top online destinations for industry news.
In addition to the Saving Seafood website, we have worked with other businesses in developing their membership organizations and were in charge of the creation and management of a coalition that was funded by the largest company in the industry sector. This company was most affected by regulations, and therefore willing to provide the funding. By working with other smaller companies in the same industry, we were able to build a solid, multi-state base of support for them.
We’ve also worked with an existing coalition on its first major public outreach effort, and continue to work with the organization’s leadership as part of the team that is bringing the group to the next level.
