Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST)

The GDST is a consensus based business-to-business platform established to advance a unified framework for interoperable seafood traceability practices.

[Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) @TheGDST]

We welcome the response from our long-standing collaborator @IFT's Global Food Traceability Center (https://t.co/8aF8cvBnTR), and we agree: traceability must be end-to-end and interoperable, and it must work alongside verification, due diligence and enforcement.

The Outlaw Ocean Project's (@ian_urbina) Food for Feed investigation is a reminder that seafood supply chains don't start at the farm gate. Fishmeal and fish oil connect wild fisheries, feed mills and aquaculture across the world, and the data linking them isn't always traceable.

[Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) @TheGDST]

The report's finding that most fishmeal-linked vessels lacked a unique identifier or public location data points to a gap that interoperable traceability is designed to close. The #GDST Standards provide a common language of Key Data Elements.

Starfish has reached a significant milestone passing the GDST Capability Test, reflecting its continued work to support standardized, interoperable data exchange aligned with the GDST Standards—enabling traceability data to move seamlessly across systems and trading partners.
