Our Impact
By 2050, the global demand for seafood is expected to almost double.
Many valuable oceanic ecosystems will collapse as a result.
As global demands for seafood rises every year, overfishing is jeopardizing the future of our oceans.
Many oceanic ecosystems are already imbalanced. If they collapse, oceanic biodiversity – and humanity as a whole – will suffer tragic consequences.
Saving Species on the IUCN Red List
As global demands for seafood rises every year, many ocean dwellers are facing the danger of extinction.
At Forsea, we decided to employ a specific meat cultivation strategy that focuses on species on the IUCN red list, in an effort to help them avoid extinction. We’re starting with eel.
Over 700 species
of edible varieties in the marine ecosystem are currently in danger of extinction
*According the IUCN red list
Only 7.7%
from the total ocean are Marine protected areas (MPAs)
*Our world in data
90-95% decrease
in eel population in recent decades

Cultivating Real ‘Eel’ Change:
Why is This So Important?
Fighting Illegal Trade
The European eel suffers from vast quantities of illegal poaching and trade, which contributes to its extinction threats. Illegal eel-related activities are a direct result of high eel meat demand.
Creating an Alternative to Eel Aquaculture
In order to raise eels via aquaculture, glass eels must be caught in the wild and cultivated. This harmful practice damages wild eel ecosystems.
Reinforcing Bio-Diversity
Eels are extremely important to their ecosystems’ stability and biodiversity. By cultivating eel meat and reducing eel fishing, we aim to help eels promote their habitats.
We’re On a Mission to Save Our Aquatic Ecosystems
Forsea is committed to protecting life below water.
This is why we get up in the morning.
By cultivating healthy & tasty seafood meat without causing harm to animals, we are doing a great service to communities around the world who can not imagine their lives without seafood and, just like all of humanity, are dependent on thriving oceans.
Our impact is aligned with the following UN SDGs:
By partnering with wholesalers and distributors, our technology will minimize unsustainable fish trade, gradually reducing its negative impact.
Our operation will fully align with circular economy standards. By2030, we aim to achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources in our product.
Our facility will be designed to practice high water use efficiency, including waste water management and reduced heating, cooling and filtering costs.
Our integrated strategy allows us to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change, while generating low GHGe missions in a manner that does not threaten food production.
