Farming octopuses would be both cruel and unsustainable. Yet, Spanish seafood company Nueva Pescanova plans to open the world’s first octopus farm in Gran Canaria, Spain. If the octopus farm is approved, it will be a disaster for octopuses - extremely intelligent and solitary in nature - and for the environment and public health. Compassion in World Farming and Eurogroup for Animals's joint report shows that this octopus farm comes with significant environmental risks, requiring an unsustainable use of natural resources, including water, energy as well as wild fish for feed. Join us and tell Nueva Pescanova to halt its reckless plans NOW.

🌊 Community Catch Consultation: Empowering Small-Scale Fisheries for a Sustainable Future 🌊 Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) are the unsung heroes of our oceans, contributing roughly half of the world's fish catches and providing livelihoods for over 90% of the global fishers and fish workers, with half being women and covering the planet! Yet, they often struggle with market access, fair pricing, and recognition. Community Catch is hoping to change that by creating innovative, market-based solutions that enable SSFs to achieve sustainability, access better markets, and improve their communities' well-being. AND.. they need your voice to shape the future of sustainable small-scale fisheries. Your input will help ensure that our programs are effective, inclusive, and beneficial for fishers worldwide. See Below to provide your inputs and voice.. Together, we can create a future where small-scale fishers thrive, our oceans are healthy, and sustainable seafood is available for all. 🌍🐟 #CommunityCatch #SustainableFishing #SmallScaleFisheries #OceanConservation #FoodSecurity #SustainableDevelopment

High-quality oysters are an upper-end item in many restaurants. In this three-minute video, learn about the intensive steps it takes to grow the perfect oyster and the resources that farmers put into producing restaurant-ready crops.

Catfish are a popular choice for aquaculture and fishing due to their hardy nature and delicious taste. To maximize their growth and size, several factors come into play. #Fishery(Vertebrata)

Our #farmers (on land and sea) face daily battles to bring the best food to our tables. Nuisance #Birds and their #doodoo are just one of these constant battles and cause issues in so many different ways. A few months ago, having wrapped up a 90 day, 3 location pilot in warm water #aquaculture (more to come on this once results are compiled) we started talking with several open water #oysterfarmers that were experiencing issues with birds roosting on the floating system widely used in commercial shellfish operations. Research is ongoing about potential hazards of the birds roosting but, at a minimum, keeping the equipment clear and free of bird #doodoo is paramount for the hard working people running these farms. Our non-lethal acoustic #wildlife deterrent technology is perfectly suited to solve the issue and keep these floats clean and operations running. The technology and goals are highlighted on pages 11-13 of the Oct. 2024 East Coast Shellfish Growers Association Newsletter.

PROUDLY FARM RAISED 👩🌾 There’s a lot of talk (and misinformation) when it comes to aquaculture and farm-raised bivalves. ❌ A few of our favorite facts: 🎉 We grow our clams and oysters in the same ocean-flushed waters as their wild counterparts, so they have the same incredible flavor. 🌊 We operate put-and-take fisheries, so we only harvest what we plant. This doesn’t deplete wild shellfish populations and is incredibly sustainable. 🦪 Bivalves are filter feeders: they improve water quality and contribute to increased species diversity – win win! ✔ We control our process from spawning to sale, which means we can offer products that strictly adhere to our quality standards. We have the final say in every part of the bivalves from birth, to rearing and husbandry, to market. ⭐ All this means superior clams and oysters with sustainability in mind.
