We believe that responsible fishing isn’t just good for the ocean. It’s good for business. That belief is what brought ForSea Solutions into existence. In 2016, Natasha Novikova founded FSS after watching fisheries and seafood businesses struggle to navigate a world of complex international standards, losing market access not because they weren’t doing good work, but because they didn’t have the right support to prove it. She built ForSea Solutions to close that gap. Not as a distant consultancy that files a report and moves on, but as a hands-on partner that shows up on site, learns each client’s specific challenges, and stays until the work is done right. Nearly a decade later, that’s still exactly how FSS works. Today, ForSea Solutions guides fisheries, processors, retailers, and supply chain companies across Russia, Latin America, Asia, the USA, Europe, and emerging markets through the complex world of sustainability certification. Every client isdifferent. Every path to certification looks different. What stays the same is the level of commitment FSS brings to getting there. Because the goal has never been to just pass an audit. It’s to build something that lasts.
OUR VISION: ENSURING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE THROUGH RESPONSIBLY MANAGED FISHERIES.
