"Improving the quality of life for people and wildlife." - Travis Kight, Chief Executive Chef OUR�COMMITMENT Serving over 27 million guests annually, Service Systems Associates (SSA) has committed to serving 100% Seafood Watch recommended seafood at our 40 + cultural attractions across the United States. Our central purchasing program and individual culinary teams contribute to the success of this mission by tracking the various sources and quality of the seafood we purchase. SSA commits to utilizing all available tools and resources to identify risks of social rights abuses associated with the seafood we source, and to take steps to reduce these risks. WHAT�IS�SEAFOOD�WATCH? The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program is a set of standards, guiding principles and science-based criteria that aims to create a future with a healthy ocean. Additionally, it motivates consumers to shop in a manner that shifts overall seafood production in more sustainable directions. The Seafood Watch program also consists of a rating system to demonstrate the environmental sustainability of the food being served. Green: Best Choice | Yellow: Good Alternative | Red: Avoid BEYOND�THE�P� TE In addition to food quality, SSA has partnered with Monterey Bay Aquarium to help create awareness of sustainability challenges occurring in our ocean on a national scale. Through involvement in programs and special events like the Blue Ribbon Task Force, Seafood Summits, "Sustaining Our Seas" Seafood Festival, and retail education, SSA is promoting Seafood Watch's mission of creating a healthy ocean for future generations.
