Open Blue – Panama

Panama, South America

Cobia

Open Blue is the leading supplier of Cobia, a delicious and nutritious whitefish. Their open ocean farming sites are carefully chosen to avoid displacing other marine life. A 2,500-acre protected “no take” zone was created which is home only to Open Blue Cobia and indigenous marine species. Jorge Alarcon, talks about how Open Blue acts with deep reverence for the planet, committed to taking care of the delicate ecosystem of fish, ocean and people. Along with certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program, and Best Aquaculture Practices, Open Blue was honored as Sea Web’s 2018 Sustainability Champion for Vision.
