Interested in Smarter Seafood certification? Here’s what you need to know…

Certified restaurants and fish markets must offer a minimum of two valued species. For 2018, the cost of certification is $120 per company. This allows you to use the Smarter Seafood trademark for one year. This price includes promotional tools directly related to certification. A $120 invoice will be sent with the memorandum of understanding and certification will begin when Exploramer receives payment, ideally early in the season.

Certification in three steps:

1) Contact us to obtain the specifications which will allow you to know all the details related to the certification.

2) Request and sign the memorandum of understanding.

3) Make the payment.
