• In the past
– Complete lack of trust
– Playing one side against the other
– Drove poor quality, low prices, excessive effort
– a downward spiral

• Meeting in Paris, January 2010

• A pan-European marketing drive
• A voluntary limit on landings in an effort to maintain
a “break-even” price for live brown crab

ACRUNET was born

resource to meet market demand

consumers on environmental issues

various forms
