Market-based tools play a crucial role in integrating social responsibility into the Sustainable Seafood Movement (Lout, 2023). For example:

Certifications are commonly implemented in the seafood industry to ensure that seafood products meet certain standards for labor rights and working conditions, although they have been criticized for their limitations in effectively addressing human rights abuses and labor issues in supply chains.

Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), initially focused on environmental sustainability, now also address social responsibility aspects like human rights and labor issues.

Additionally, buyer sourcing commitments by businesses, particularly in North America and Europe, prioritize sustainable sourcing, including requirements for social responsibility such as human and labor rights.
