On January 22nd, the GDST’s Steering Committee came together to promote the groundbreaking GDST 1.0 standards in an official open letter release. The intent was to call on all businesses and stakeholders with an investment in seafood to support the standards that GDST members helped solidify over the last few years. The letter was shared with trade press and other stakeholders, and additional promotion is encouraged in preparation for the official GDST 1.0 launch in March. The GDST has also shared this letter through new social media channels; Twitter (@TheGDST) and LinkedIn (The Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability).
