The North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) has opened nominations for the NASF Sustainability Award 2027, recognising organisations, initiatives and individuals who are delivering measurable sustainability results across the seafood value chain.
Following the successful introduction of the award in 2026, NASF is now seeking to recognise organisations, initiatives and individuals whose efforts have delivered measurable sustainability results.
The award welcomes nominations from across the seafood value chain, including fisheries, aquaculture, feed production, seafood processing, technology providers, research institutions and supporting organisations operating wholly or partly within the North Atlantic region.
Gísli Gíslason, chair of the Jury and initiator of the Award, said, "The NASF Sustainability Award was established to recognise those who are delivering measurable sustainability results and to highlight the innovations and solutions helping to create a more sustainable seafood industry. The award places the focus on documented achievements and real impact, assessed against clear criteria by an independent jury. The success of the first award demonstrated the value of recognising practical solutions and industry leadership. By showcasing these achievements, the award aims to inspire further innovation and accelerate sustainability progress across the global seafood sector."
The inaugural NASF Sustainability Award was presented to Veramaris in March 2026. The company was recognised for its production of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids from natural marine microalgae, providing aquaculture with an alternative source of essential nutrients traditionally obtained from wild-caught fish. The solution demonstrates how research and new technology can help reduce pressure on marine resources while supporting the continued development of aquaculture.
NASF welcomes submissions from companies, organisations, projects, and individuals whose work has resulted in measurable sustainability improvements. Self-nominations are welcome. Before submitting a nomination, candidates are encouraged to review the NASF Sustainability Award Criteria & Guidelines, which outline eligibility requirements and the assessment framework used by the independent jury.
