Oysters have been a key ingredient in the economic development of Mobile since the 19th century, by serving as a tasty part of dinner. The process from reef to plate has provided jobs to thousands of Alabamians, whether they be harvesters, transporters, wholesalers, processors, restaurant staff, and grocery store staff. In the past 74 years, Mobile Bay has harvested an average of 726,158 lbs of oyster meat annually. Local tourism has been a big influence on the demand for harvesting with travelers wanting a taste of fresh and local seafood. In 2020, 20 million lbs of oyster meat was harvested throughout the United States, with the Gulf Coast region contributing to 45 percent of harvests. Not including aquaculture, wild reef harvests brought in over 1.2 million dollars this past season in Alabama.

🌊 Dive into the High Season of Fresh Seafood on the Kenyan Coast 🐟 As we move into the fishing high season along the Kenyan coast, we're excited to share some insights into what makes this time of year so special for seafood lovers and our fishermen. Understanding Fish Seasonality: Fish seasonality refers to when certain fish species are most abundant and readily available, and in the regional context, this is largely influenced by ocean currents and climatic patterns. For the Kenyan coast, the high season typically occurs between September and April. With the high season approaching in the coming weeks, these new conditions will bring a surge of catches for both demersal and pelagic species, critical to both our local ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. These species include tuna, grouper, snappers, kingfish, emperor, mahi mahi, and many others. Why It Matters: This high season is not just a great opportunity for our buyers and partners to enjoy fresh seafood, but it also plays a crucial role in supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities. Income for our fishing communities is largely seasonal and these next 8 months are when earnings peak. Kumbatia has spent much of the low season expanding our high season sourcing network, adding several new communities as well as training, financing and onboarding several hundred new fishermen into our system. . . . #kumbatiaseafood #sustainableseafood #fishing #season

Did you know? Barbecue may have its origins in the habits of the Tupinambás. *One of Brazil's Native Indigenous Group. The origin of the term "barbecue" is not confirmed, but the theory that there is influence from the eating habits of the Tupinambá Indigenous Group is widely accepted. They roasted meat on skewers stuck in the ground over hot coals, a technique known as "churrascaria", similar to the barbecue ("churrasco" in portuguese) we know nowadays. However, it was in the vast pampas that barbecue found its ideal environment, covering not only Rio Grande do Sul State, but also other South American countries such as Uruguay and Argentina. In the 17th century, the region was an important livestock transport center, where herds multiplied after the end of the wars. Barbecue spread throughout Brazil, becoming a prominent feature of Brazilian culture. - Do you want to know more about the market? Follow Prisma on social media. www.prismaintl.com

In 2022, US per capita consumption of seafood declined 3.4 percent to 19.8 pounds from 20.5 pounds in 2021, according to a new report released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Although these figures are from 2022 (they are the most recent available from NOAA Fisheries), they foretell what we all witnessed last year and this year, which is a significant drop in seafood demand in the US market.
