Ocean Disclosure Project

Publix

Founded in 1930 in Winter Haven, Florida, Publix is now the largest employee-owned grocery chain in the United States. Publix is one of the 10 largest-volume supermarket chains in the country, with over 1,100 stores throughout the south from Virginia to Florida. Publix currently sells over 300 seafood products, including fresh, frozen and processed seafood, and also offers a special request service for fresh fish, with up to 80 species on offer.

Summary

In 2017, Publix was lauded for becoming the first US supermarket retailer to participate in the Ocean Disclosure Project. Publix has been a partner with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) since 2009 and was an early adopter of the fishery improvement project (FIP) approach. Actively encouraging its suppliers to participate in FIPs where needed, Publix played an important role in bringing key stakeholders to the table to get the Gulf of Mexico shrimp and snapper/grouper FIPs started. Publix regularly convenes all of their seafood suppliers to talk about sustainability and works with the National Fisheries Institute (NFI), and the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) to drive change in the industry.

Associated Fisheries

Species and Location	Production Methods	Certification or Improvement Project	Stock Status and Management
Species and Location Acadian redfish Sebastes fasciatus Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank Fishery countries: U.S.	Production Methods Bottom trawl	Certification or Improvement Project Certified	Stock Status and Management Well managed
Environmental Notes This fishery is unlikely to have unacceptable impacts on PET species. PET species that may interact with the fishery include marine mammals, sea turtles and Atlantic sturgeon, but recorded interactions are low. This fishery does not pose a risk of serious harm to bycatch species. Major bycatch species include dogfish and skate, of which, thorny skate is overfished. There is a partial strategy in place to ensure the fishery does not hinder the recovery of thorny skate. Bottom trawls will directly impact on the sea bed. However, management measures are in place. General Notes Caveat The environmental notes for this fishery are based on a provisional assessment and are not derived from the FishSource profile.
