Sustainable Fishing and the Environment60 Degrees East is a responsible corporate citizen committed to safe practices, environmental stewardship and conducting business in an ethical manner.

Oman’s fishing waters are amongst the richest in the world and its government is committed to ensuring the environmental sustainability of the fisheries. Trawling has been banned and instead traditional Omani fishing is being promoted.

In the latest FAO* Fisheries and Aquaculture report this region falls in the under-exploited or moderately-exploited category for fish captures.

Respecting the fishing regulations of the Sultanate of Oman and the wider Indian Ocean, 60 Degrees East procure fish only from traditional, artisan fishing operations using the hand line (single hook) method. This eliminates by-batch and discards, reduces the impact on the seabed of trawling and allows fishermen to have great selectivity.

FOS Certification

60 Degrees East has signed-up to the Friend of the Sea initiative as part of our involvement in sustainable fishing.
