Trident Seafoods’ Post

To safeguard our oceans, we must rethink sustainability standards for fishing. In a recent Ocean Sustainability paper, the authors chart a new course for fisheries, aiming to protect both marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d92nBb4k

Wild-caught pelagic fish boasts the lowest carbon footprint among animal proteins. These fish thrive naturally, requiring no artificial feeding or freshwater, making their production sustainable. Additionally, our pelagic fishing operatons maximise efficiency by using larger vessels that make fewer, longer trips thereby reducing emissions.🌍🎣 Find out more about our responsible fishing practices here: https://lnkd.in/e-M3fQzQ

On World Oceans Day we are grateful to be part of a worldwide effort to inform the public of the devastating effect of farming salmon, sea bream, sea bass, and other carnivorous fish. It is an unsustainable business model that consumes more wild fish than is produced, yet the industry continues to promote the myth that the so-called blue revolution is "feeding the world." Polluting our waters and coastlines, fish farms decimate communities both where the fish are farmed and where the wild fish are taken for fish meal. As we have learned more and more about the effects of fish farming on coastal communities and marine ecosystems, we have met extraordinary people and groups from around the world that are leading the opposition to this destructive industry, many of whom are listed below.

🌍🐾 Celebrating World Otter Day! 🦦 Today, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable otters that inhabit our waterways. Otters play a critical role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, and their presence is a testament to the health of our environment. On this special day, let's commit to protecting these wonderful creatures and their habitats. Here are 3 tips to safeguard otters: 1. Protect their habitats: Support conservation efforts to preserve wetlands, rivers, and coastal areas where otters live. 2. Reduce pollution: Minimise the use of plastics and chemicals that can harm otter habitats and food sources. 3. Support sustainable fisheries: Ensure that fishing practices do not deplete the otters' food supply or disrupt their ecosystems. Join us in raising awareness and taking action to ensure a safe future for otters.🌿💙 #WorldOtterDay #SaveTheOtters #EnvironmentalProtection #LearnQ

Whither Fishing? Fishing and fisheries are in the grip of strong forces beyond their control. Geopolitical events are impacting supply chains and causing volatility in the fossil fuel markets. This is undermining economic viability. Meanwhile, the EU’s Green Deal with its ambitious targets for off-shore energy generation is imposing restrictions on fishing by reserving space traditionally occupied by fishing for off-shore renewables. European consumers’ demands for low cost, easy to prepare seafood on the one hand, and for luxury products on the other means that there is an ever-increasing dependence on imports to satisfy demands. The fish processing and import sector benefit from access to low cost, tariff free supplies that don’t need to meet the same environmental and social standards as EU produced seafood. How can EU products compete? How can fishing crews and fishing companies secure a fair return for their labour and investments? What could be a viable business model for fishing? Global warming and climate change are making seas more dangerous, less predictable and less comfortable places to work. Fish are being driven from their usual habitats into distant waters, and exotic species are appearing in their place. What will fishing and our food from the sea look like in the future? What role can science play to help the transition? It’s a privilege to be invited as panellist on behalf of Low Impact Fishers of Europe - LIFE to this clairvoyant event, and to be part of an eclectic group of experts looking into the future. What do the scientists, the policy makers and the decision takers see as they gaze into their crystal balls? Please come and join us to listen and discuss what steps need to be taken to ensure a just transition for fishing from a 20th century extractive industry to a 21st century sustainable, economically resilient and dynamic and socially just food production sector.

🌍World Food Day 2024🦐 Today,we celebrate World Food Day,honoring the importance of sustainable food systems and the vital role fisheries play in global food security. Fisheries contribute significantly to nourishing the world,providing millions with a vital source of protein and livelihoods.As we focus on ensuring equitable access to food,let’s not forget the impact of sustainable fisheries and water management.From responsible fishing practices to protecting our freshwater ecosystems,fisheries are key to a balanced and sustainable food future. Let's work together to manage our aquatic resources,preserve biodiversity,and secure a better future for both our oceans and our communities. #WorldFoodDay2024 #Sustainability #Fisheries #FoodSecurity #AquaticEcosystems #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

🌊 On this International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, we emphasize the critical need to protect our oceans and ensure sustainable fisheries. IUU fishing threatens marine biodiversity, food security, and the livelihoods of countless communities. By advocating for stronger policies, promoting transparency, and leveraging innovative technologies, we can combat these harmful practices. Together, we can make a difference and preserve our marine resources for future generations. #FightIUUFishing #SustainableFishing #OceanConservation #crsclass #marineengineering
