ABOUT WWF-SASSI

The WWF Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) drives change in the local seafood industry by working throughout the seafood supply chain to:

• Shift demand away from over-exploited marine species, and
• distil complex science into easy-to-use tools categorizing seafood per a ‘traffic light’ system, enabling sustainable seafood decisions.

A cornerstone of the SASSI programme is to drive an increase in awareness of sustainable seafood by asking three questions: What are you eating? Where is it from and how was it caught or farmed? This enables full traceability and transparency within the culinary industry.

WWF-SASSI AND THE JHP GOURMET GUIDE™ 

This year the JHP Gourmet Guide™ is proud to partner with WWF-SASSI in an effort to create a philosophy of responsible sourcing of sustainable seafood  within the industry. Their award is aimed at helping the culinary industry along its sustainability journey and hence the 2024 guide will also celebrate local talent and the indigenous produce that the country has to offer.
