Reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering aquatic foods can significantly minimize loss and waste, #FLW.
Explore this eLearning course & learn how fish by-products can be turned into high-value resources 👉 buff.ly/3OJy6XH
#BlueTransformation
I teamed up with
@GeeksWF
to record this podcast on #wifi for #fishingcrew at sea. Why is it important? how 'easy' is it? what should be provided? what is happening currently? @GSA_Seafood have a listen bit.ly/3WiHoNR
It makes no sense to waste any #seafood - ethically, environmentally or financially. @OceanCluster can help you identify and optimise usage creating secondary yields with benefits for all. Get in touch! @EarthshotPrize
On recent visit to Iceland, I was impressed by the content of this wall diagram. Before the advent of throwaway consumerism most people saw the logic of the old saying “Waste not, want not.” #FAO Blue Transformation strategy calls for global fish loss & waste to be halved by 2030

A busy day for the #OceanPanel team in Paris. Conversations focused on priority objectives for the Panel over the next two years, including the UN Ocean Conference here in France in 2025.
I've been so fortunate to be at the heart of this project for the past 3yrs. I've learned and I'm in no doubt that #zerowaste is critical. Let's talk about achieving full utilisation in your seafood systems, farmed or wild.
The #NamibiaOceanCluster is officially launched, with a mission to maximize utilization of all #seafood harvest & reduce #SeafoodLoss. Learn how stakeholders in the #Namibian fishing industry worked with @wef's #OceanAction Agenda to innovate solutions! 🐟 weforum.org/friends-of-ocean…
Barcelona next week. invt.io/1txbikj7phy
Very pleased to share this report from @GSA_Seafood exploring #bestpractices and recommendations for provision of #WiFi to fishing crew at sea. Opportunity to provide feedback via the link @GeeksWF @integratedmntr @SWFPA @thaiuniongroup @KeyTraceability globalseafood.org/blog/wifi-…

Thank you for joining us on the first day of the 2024 Ocean Decade Week!
#OceanDecade24 is off to a great start, with dozens of events already providing a platform for the global ocean community to discuss how to deliver the science we need for the ocean we want.

On #IWD2024, let us recognise the many invisible and vulnerable #women in #foodsystems.
Let's increase investment in accelerating progress for women, strengthen policies, and harness technology to bridge the gap.

We join the call on remaining @WTO members to ratify the deal to end #HarmfulFisheriesSubsidies for entry into force as soon as possible: for the sake of the #ocean, fish, fishers & sustainable #fisheries. 🐟 The WTO's Ministerial Conference in February is a key milestone! #MC13
We are halfway there! 55 countries accepted the WTO’s 2022 #FisheriesSubsidies Agreement, paving the way for sustainable practices. We need 55 more by late February to make a positive impact on our oceans! More: bit.ly/3S3H9nJ
A new @FAOfish e-learning course on fish loss and waste. Full utilisation takes many routes to using all nutrition and maximising socio-economic value within environmental boundaries. It will become part of good management in time @FriendsofOcean @MSCecolabel @OceanCluster

Honoured to have this opportunity to speak at the UK Fisheries All Party Parliamentary Group next week. It is critical that #bluefoods are an embedded part of food systems strategies and dialogues @GSA_Seafood @fisheriesappg
.@msiggs, Director of @GSA_Seafood, will be speaking at our upcoming event "Blue Foods: #Seafood as a Solution Pt. 1". Melanie will be discussing the role of #aquaculture in the future of #FishingAndBlueFood. Register for the event here: loom.ly/j3_o1SM

Incredibly humbled and honoured to present @FaunaFloraInt’s new 'about us' film - two minutes and 16 seconds that will inspire you and make you want to partner with us!
You’ve heard it all before - climate change, habitat destruction, unsustainable resource use, poaching, it’s all having a destructive impact on our planet. But we want to change the story.
Working with local partners, communities, businesses and governments, our shared purpose is to protect the diversity of life on Earth, for the survival of the planet and its people.
We are:
🌍 Protecting habitats
🌍 Reviving the ocean
🌍 Reducing extinctions
🌍 Stopping illegal wildlife trade
🌍 Combatting climate change
We fuse local and international knowledge to find the best solutions to the issues we face; from working directly in biodiverse areas, to influencing governments and businesses on a global scale.
We are committed to saving nature, together. By supporting Fauna & Flora, you’re supporting the survival of our planet.

Researchers at the #LyellCentre have created a new method for assessing the risk of different #fishing gears on the seabed's ability to capture and store organic #carbon 🌊

This is terrific news, congratulations @LyellCentre @micheljkaiser et al #climatechange #ocean #coccolithophores
Researchers at the #LyellCentre have been awarded £2.2m to explore how marine life affects the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide 🌊
The CHALKY project will examine how calcification by #coccolithophores impacts pH levels.

7 steps closer to entry into force, 1 big leap for ocean health! WTO celebrates the acceptance of the #FisheriesSubsidies Agreement by Albania, Australia, Botswana, Cuba, Côte d'Ivoire, Korea, and Saint Lucia at the Senior Officials Meeting. #WTOFishCount bit.ly/409JDED

A lively panel chaired with zest as usual by @msiggs Some great insights and quotes from @KatherineBryar about the #marineingredients sector and the need to tell out story that “Fish eat fish” hence the legitimate need for MI in feed @BioMarGroup @FAO @IFFO_GLOBAL @TrustMarin – at Cape Town, South Africa

The overwhelming opinion at this week’s Global Plastic Summit in Bangkok was that a UN treaty will be achieved by the end of 2024. This is good news for SDG14.1. But the big question is: how robust will the treaty will be? We must turn off the plastic tap flowing into the ocean!
