One Fish Foundation brings sustainable seafood education to classrooms and communities. Our mission is to engage students, their parents, and communities in the conversation about where seafood comes from and why that matters. We all have a relationship to seafood as a shared public resource, whether we eat it or not. Understanding those relationships is important for us as well as our oceans and our planet.
We make these connections through classroom visits, sustainable seafood dinners, community events, our blog, social media, and collaborations with other organizations such as Slow Fish North America, Slow Food USA, North American Marine Alliance, and Local Catch Network.
Instead of telling people what seafood to buy, we provide context and build lasting relationships with community leaders – both present and future – so seafood eaters can make their own informed decisions. For example, we discuss the back story about different wild harvest and aquaculture methods, as well as the complexities of international and domestic supply chains, and the many ecological, and socioeconomic factors that can affect seafood sustainability.
We center these discussions around a set of values that focus on supporting local, community-based seafood systems providing good, clean, fair seafood for all.
Our Team
We are passionate about promoting community-based fisheries and seafood with values. We want to educate people about why knowing where seafood comes from matters, and what they can do to support local seafood systems, healthy oceans, and their own wellbeing.

Our Values
Seafood with values honors the resource, the harvester, the fishmonger, the consumer, our oceans, and our planet. The difference between commodity, industrialized seafood and seafood with values is oceans-wide. Our values-compass points to seafood that is good, clean, and fair. Learn more:
