Sea Change Investment FundPotential applications in Russian fisheriesLimited direct applications given the fund’s
focus on brands, narrowly defined means of extracting value and geographic limitations
Potential indirect support through investment in US companies that “tell the story” behind sustainably-caught, high quality products
