The Fishery & Science Department Starburst & Establishment of New Company
Towards the goal of making Japan’s overall fishing industry more sustainable, our company has provided consulting services to producers, corporates, (local) governments, and NGOs, but based on our belief in the need for enhanced support through specialized consulting services for producers, the Fishery & Science Department has decided to become independent.
Seafood Legacy Co., Ltd. will continue to strive to make our oceans more sustainable and richer by promoting sustainable seafood in the marketplace and push for policy changes that stem from such shifts.
UMITO Partners Inc. will be working with fisheries, local government and communities, influential chefs, and seafood businesses to help fisheries and communities to become more sustainable designed around their on-the-ground needs and issues.
While we will continue on our separate paths as separate organizations working with the overall market and suppliers respectively, we remain committed to our goal of making the fishing industry more sustainable and we humbly ask for your continued support in the future.
Wakao Hanaoka, CEO & President, Seafood Legacy Co., Ltd.
It has been about 6 years since Seafood Legacy was founded. As the sustainable seafood movement comes of age in Japan, I am very happy to usher in the birth of a new organization that supports this effort. Our company will continue to use Japan’s best-of-class expertise and foresight in sustainable seafood as well as our rich experience and knowledge in both philanthropy and business and leverage our global network to work with various stakeholders in providing world-standard solutions that are feasible for Japan.

Shunji Murakami, CEO & President, UMITO Partners Inc.
As sustainability becomes a more widely accepted concept in Japan, it is also recognized that we need to focus on making concrete positive impacts on sustainability in the ocean and fishery. Through the new organizational launch, we envision providing sustainability solutions to fishery and community issues and needs in ways that they want to take those initiatives instead of being forced to do so.
