🌊 Exciting News from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)! 🌊   The Marine Stewardship Council has announced its 2024 funding recipients, supporting fisheries to safeguard stocks and minimize wildlife impact, ensuring ocean sustainability for future generations.   A standout recipient is Lindiwe Makapela, awarded funding to research interactions between South Africa's Hake Longline Fishery, Orcas, and Cape fur seals. Lindiwe will propose techniques to protect these marine mammals, enhance stock assessments, and share management strategies across regional fisheries to promote best practices.   From the South African Hake Longline Association, we wish you the very best Lindiwe! We eagerly anticipate collaborating with her and following her groundbreaking research. Dive deeper with a quick tap below!

Thank you Ocean Lovers Festival for hosting a fantastic and impactful event. We're thrilled to have had the opportunity to join and discuss the importance of sustainable fishing. For those who missed it, MSC speaker Alex Webb DipM ACIM shared a powerful message "There is no such thing as a sustainable species of fish, only sustainable populations of fish." What is sustainably fished in one part of the ocean could be overfished in another. When you see the MSC blue fish tick label on seafood, you can be sure it can be traced back to a certified sustainable fishery. 🌎🐟💙 #OceanLoversFestival #SustainableFishing #MSCBlueFishTick #protectouroceans

🦞🌊 Papua New Guinea's free-diving rock lobster fishers harvest their catch by hand. Their traditional, selective technique has helped their fishery to become the island nation’s first small-scale fishery to achieve certification for sustainability. Hailing from Daru Island, the fishery is a small enterprise comprised of just seven boats, each with around six fishers onboard. The fishers dive into the waters of the Torres Strait, holding their breath or using hookahs that supply surface air via a hose. The fishery’s artisanal approach ensured it scored highly when assessed for sustainability against the MSC Fisheries Standard in late 2023. As the fishers hand-select each lobster, they can identify and leave enough mature lobsters to replenish the stock, ensuring sustainable practices that honor the deep connection between the people and the sea.

The FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) is the largest global gathering of policymakers, experts and partners in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. This week’s (8-12 July) #COFI36 meeting will focus on the vital role of fisheries and aquaculture in tackling food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty, stressing their ability to alleviate hunger, drive sustainable growth, and reverse environmental degradation. "An increasingly expanding global aquaculture sector is driving the supply of fish and fishery products to new records. In 2022, aquaculture overtook capture fisheries as the main supplier of aquatic animals. Ensuring the expansion of sustainable aquaculture is of fundamental importance for consumers,” QU Dongyu, the Director-General of FAO.

In South Australia’s Coorong region, Ngarrindjeri people have been sustainably harvesting kuti (aka pipis, clams or cockles) for many hundreds of generations.   Kuti Co is a Ngarrindjeri-owned enterprise working in partnership with @Goolwa PipiCo, the largest quota holder within the Marine Stewardship Council certified Lakes and Coorong pipi fishery, to harvest Kuti. It’s a profitable fishing business, and it’s providing opportunities for Ngarrindjeri to get back on country.   Thank you to all from the Ngarrindjeri community and Kuti Co. who shared their stories in this film for past, present, and future generations.   Kuti Co, Ngarrindjeri and Narungga artist @cedric_varcoe_art Ngarrindjeri Elders from the singing group @nannasdeadly   #NAIDOC2024 #KeepTheFireBurning #MSCBlueFishTick
