Ocean Outcomes (O2), a non-governmental organization active in promoting sustainable fisheries, announced on 19 January it will appoint Rich Lincoln, the group’s founding executive director, as president and CEO.
Ocean Outcomes (O2) works with commercial fishing companies, local communities, and other nonprofits to develop and implement sustainable fisheries and fish farming practices. The Portland, Oregon, U.S.A-based organization has worked on improving the sustainability of fisheries globally since being spun off from the Wild Salmon Center in February 2015. The Wild Salmon Center had launched a fishery improvement project for Hokkaido chum salmon in Japan in order to qualify the fishery for Marine Stewardship Council certification. Seeking a possible opportunity to focus more on sustainability initiatives in Japanese fishing, Ocean Outcomes was formed to expand the scope of the organization beyond salmon.
