Sustainable practices in the seafood industry have global implications, as oceans do not recognize national borders. International cooperation and adherence to sustainable fishing standards are crucial to address issues like illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and to ensure the health of the world’s oceans. #Sustainability in the seafood industry is essential for protecting the environment, ensuring economic stability and growth, and securing social well-being. It requires a collective effort from governments, industries, communities, and consumers to make responsible choices that support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices.    

It’s the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)’s Sustainable Seafood September 🐟 It’s the perfect time to get on board with the sustainable seafood movement, and a great reason to enjoy some delicious fish too. Our commitment to sustainability means we only serve and sell locally caught seafood, fish that is MSC certified, or from accredited freshwater farms. When you choose seafood marked with the blue MSC ecolabel on our menu and from our online seafood market you’re supporting fishing that takes care of our ocean. Let’s make sure there is fish forever. #sustainableseafoodseptember

A study led by Prof. Andrew Knight at the University of Winchester found a startling fact: cats and dogs eat 9% of all animal-based food globally – equivalent to seven billion animals every year, excluding marine life. 🌱 That’s a huge climate pawprint. 🍖🐾 The study advocates for plant-based dog and cat food, which not only reduces land and water usage but also frees up resources for greener spaces, rewilding, and ecosystem recovery. 🐱🐶 The grazing land spared by having dogs eating plant-based could exceed the size of Mexico, with water savings surpassing Denmark's renewable freshwater supply. 📈 It's time we recognise the role of our pets in the sustainability journey.

Can you spot the difference between sustainably caught and farmed fish? Making the right choice matters for both wild and farmed varieties. Wild fish should come from areas free of overfishing and with minimal environmental impact. For farmed fish, it means controlled breeding with low environmental stress. Look out for labels like MAC for wild fish and ASC for farmed fish, endorsed by organizations like the Good Fish Foundation. These certifications set strict standards for environmental impact and fishing methods. While supermarkets like Jumbo Supermarkten, Albert Heijn and Lidl Nederland often clearly label sustainable fish, in fish shops and restaurants, it's trickier. You might have to rely on the seller's word. Despite concerns about contaminants like dioxins and PFAS, the health benefits of eating fish, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum, outweigh the risks. But, is sustainable fishing viable with a growing global population? Efforts by governments and certifications show that sustainably caught fish stocks can remain stable. At Open Food Chain, we're committed to promoting sustainable seafood choices. Curious to learn more and contribute to a sustainable future for our oceans?

📖 The Conservation Alliance for Seafood Solutions launches 'The Guidance for Companies on Environmentally and Socially Responsible #Seafood' to promote #humanrights and #environmental safeguards across #supplychains. 🆓 ⭐ Thanks to its diligence model, companies will be able to identify, assess, and mitigate human rights and environmental risks related to their operations and supply chains based on globally accepted frameworks. 💪 By 2030, the aim of the Alliance is that at least 75% of global, commercial seafood #production should be "environmentally responsible or make verifiable improvements, with safeguards in place to ensure #social #responsibility." https://lnkd.in/dacm45Qf

💡 Did you know that the ocean holds 80% of the world’s biodiversity? A healthy ocean is essential for life on Earth. It plays a key role in climate regulation and food provision. 🌊 On #WorldOceanDay we emphasise the importance of companies having tangible targets for ‘sustainable’ seafood in order to accelerate meaningful ocean action towards the #SDGs. ✅ On a positive note, transparency in the sector has improved. Almost all seafood companies assessed in the Seafood Stewardship Index disclose some of their activities and efforts towards environmentally ‘sustainable’ and ‘socially responsible’ seafood. There has been some improvement in terms of certifications, policies, and engagement activities. ❗However, our data shows that most seafood companies do not disclose SMART targets (Specific, Measurable, Ambitious, Relevant, Time-bound). Even if companies have these targets, these usually only address part of their portfolio (specific fish species), and it is not clear how this prioritisation is made. 🤝On this #WorldOceanDay we call on all companies to be both comprehensive and ambitious in defining and disclosing their environmental and social targets to ensure responsible practices are implemented for our ocean.
