The Cornwall Good Seafood Guide, a Cornwall Wildlife Trust project, has won the category for  

’Best contribution to Cornwall’s brand through sustainability: enabler’ at the Cornwall Sustainability Awards 2016.

This event aims to encourage, reward and gain recognition for the work businesses and organisations are doing to improve their own sustainability, and that of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as a whole. 

The Cornwall Good Seafood Guide is an online resource which celebrates the sustainable seafood landed in Cornwall. It was created by charity Cornwall Wildlife Trust to provide consumers and businesses the information they need to ensure that they are making sustainable seafood choices.  

Steve Crummay, Trustee at Cornwall Wildlife Trust said: ’It was a great accolade to win this award for the Cornwall Good Seafood Guide and to have the work of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the supporting fishing industry partners recognised as making a difference in promoting Cornish sustainably caught seafood.’

Ruth Williams, marine conservation manager at Cornwall Wildlife Trust, said: ’Conservationists and fishermen are not on opposing teams – a healthy marine environment is essential for productive fisheries.’
