I know quite a few people who switched from fish oil to krill oil to supplement their omega 3 and DHA intake. But turns out this is NOT a more sustainable option, as explained below. It's removing critical stocks from the marine food chain, that so many species, including whales, rely on. If we ask ourselves, where do the oily fish and the krill get their omega 3 and DHA from, the answer is clear: fish and krill cannot make omega 3 themselves, they are just the intermediaries. The only way fish and krill ingest omega 3 is by eating the algae in their food chain that is rich in these fatty acids. So: why not just bypass the fish and krill (and associated heavy metals, toxins and environmental destruction etc) and get our omega 3 directly from sustainably sourced or farmed algae? There are several vegan alternatives on the market in many countries. On the Testa brand's website, for example, it states: "Oily fish contains only 1% Omega-3, while algae oil contains around 20% Omega-3. Instead of catching 20 billion kilograms of fish for Omega-3, we can produce 1 billion kilos of algae for exactly the same amount of Omega-3." The VegiKrill brand reports that: "When comparing krill oil and algae oil, it seems that algae oil comes out on top. Not only are the farming practices more sustainable and better for the environment, but the omega-3 found in algae oil absorbs into the body better."

Stop fishing practices! Fishing, in any form, is inherently unsustainable. Aquatic organisms have the right to live out their natural lives, not to be harvested for human consumption. While industrial fishing is widely recognized for its harm, even smaller-scale practices disrupt aquatic ecosystems and endanger species. Concerns about the livelihoods of fishermen are valid, but there are countless opportunities to transition to environmentally sustainable jobs—particularly those that align with plant-based practices, such as working with phytoplankton or other ecologically supportive alternatives. It's time to seek wiser, more sustainable paths forward.

Our fishery is probably the best managed fishery in the world from any perspective

💰 The U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration will fund $27 million in several projects to prevent and remove #marine #debris in coastal and Great Lakes communities. 👥 🧤 🧢 Thanks to this funding, #coastal communities will have access to tools and resources to address these challenges, protect coastal and marine #ecosystems, and boost #localeconomies. 🥅 🌊 ❌ A clear example of this threat to #wildlife on the #coastlines are the #ghostnets found in Papahānaumokuākea, Hawaii. These #nets destroy #coralreefs and entangle wildlife, leading to their disappearance from the #habitat. https://lnkd.in/dkWRdvrs

Introducing  Euronav, this company has taken a noble stand for whale conservation as they commit to another year as members of The League Of Whale Guardians™. Through this partnership, we have saved endangered whale lives from vessel strikes and will save many more in the year to come. Unintended vessel strikes are the leading cause of death for some species of great whales, even pushing them to the brink of extinction. Unfortunately with the global vessel fleet expanding the areas where vessel routes cross over critical whale habitat is ever growing, leading to a higher rate of unintended whale deaths each year. Whale Guardians™ has carefully crafted a plan of rerouting for ships across the globe in a manner that adds negligible time and distance to the vessel routes while saving the maximum number of whale lives. We urge other industries to follow Euronav’s example and take this critical step towards preventing your vessels from committing any unintended strikes in the future. #savegreatwhales #whaleguardians #jointheleague#greatwhaleconservancy #whalefacts #bluewhales #greatwhales #stopshipstrikes #shipstrikes #endangeredspecies #criticallyendangered#globalshipping #whaleconservation #oceanconservation

O lovely seagrass, number one plant I would like to see beneath shallow lakes (never ming the "sea", it can grow in clean shallow lakes). Notwithstanding the complexity of aquatic ecology, I can still state that it helps creating a diverse and thriving environment. #ecology #environment #biodiversity #water

Did you know - 95% of commercially and recreationally important Gulf finfish and shellfish and 75% of the nation’s migratory waterfowl depend on Texas wetlands at some point in their life cycle? Protecting the Gulf of Mexico is critical.

Tuna is considered one of the most important and commercially valuable fish and is an essential part of the marine ecosystem.

Have you ever been face to face with the Mola Mola sunfish? ☀️🐟 The heaviest of all bony fish, the Mola Mola can reach up to 10-14 feet and nearly 5,000 pounds. 🤯 This elusive fish can live up to 100 years in its natural environment and despite their size, are harmless to humans. While they can live and hunt in depths of up to 600 meters down, Mola Mola spend half their time delivering on their namesake, basking in the sun near the surface to re-heat their bodies and aid digestion. Because of this, the Mola Mola is inadvertently vulnerable to ship strikes, bycatch, and more. By developing solutions to these ever present ocean threats and challenges, we can further improve the conservation and protection of critical ocean species like our sunfish friends. 🌊 🎥 captured by Megan Shea-Graff
