Being dependant upon the natural environment to produce a quality product we are committed to ensuring that we address the challenges of environmental care with our carbon footprint being a key element in that strategy," Mr Ferguson said.
Balance Carbon Managing Director, Dr Tim Moore (who comes with a background in marine ecology) said: "Balance Carbon are pleased to be able to help Australian Bight Abalone Ltd and the seafood industry in general move towards taking a greater stewardship role as users of these natural environments."
