Our Mission Is To TRANSFORM THE FUTURE OF SEAFOOD THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN
Manna Seafood Blockchain through the use of blockchain has the potential to vastly reduce the cost and complexity of food safety and distribution.
A Number of Major Challenges
Around Regulation, Best Practices and Fraud
A Notorious Problem
with Uniform Regulation
A recent study showed
mislabeling of seafood occurs as
50% of the time.
Illegal and
Irresponsible Practices
Fishing has a track record of perceived poor practices leading to a lack of trust in the fishing and/or aquaculture industry.
Fraudulently
Marked Food
Tampering and mislabeling of food products for financial gain cost the global economy $30 billion annually
AQUACULTURE IS AGRICULTURE!
Done right, ocean farming is part of the solution for a climate smart future! MANNA FISH FARMS is working to permit one of the first ocean farms in the US, with a commitment of transparency and best sustainable practices. Seafood is the fastest growing protein sector in the world, yet there are no finfish farms in our U.S. EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone), and only a couple new seaweed and shellfish endeavors. Our wild capture fisheries have plateaued. We could farm in 1/10 of 1% of our EEZ and grow an amount equal to the total annual wild catch!
