Innovating for a Sustainable Future: Pelagic Fishing Industry Leads by Example When it comes to sustainability, the pelagic fishing industry is making waves by adopting innovative practices that minimize waste and protect marine ecosystems. Phil Haslam, managing director at North Atlantic Fishing Company, emphasizes that through careful management and advanced techniques, they are successfully reducing emissions and enhancing the sustainability of their operations. The sector's commitment is evident in its collaborative efforts to transform traditional fishing methods. By focusing on circular economy principles, the industry is working to ensure that every part of the catch is utilized, thereby significantly reducing environmental impact. This proactive approach not only preserves the ocean's health but also secures the future of the fishing workforce. The journey toward a sustainable future is a continuous one, and the pelagic fishing industry is proving that with determination and innovation, even the most resource-intensive sectors can make a positive environmental impact. It's time for all industries to take a page out of their book and commit to a more sustainable way of operating. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #FishingIndustry #MarineConservation #Innovation #EcoFriendly

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘! With the problem of ghost fishing escalating at an ever-increasing pace, there’s urgent need for a paradigm change. "𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨" Did you know? For Canadian lobster fishers, each trap holds a government-issued TAG. But what if losing that TAG meant more than just replacing a trap? What if it came with a price tag of $1500CAD (the estimated cost of recovering the trap)? I'm proposing a revolutionary shift: including the cleanup cost directly into fisher’s operating expenses. This isn't about penalizing; like all other industries there’s a responsibility attached to running a business, and handling litter is an important part of that. Gear loss is considered an insignificant cost to the fishers, which disincentivizes investing in preventative measures. Included this cost into the operation, where it belongs, creates a whole new behavior changing incentive. It’s a systemic change where fishers immediately would become stewards of the ocean, actively working to mitigate gear loss. This approach not only reduces the need for cleanup operations but also creates a steady stream of funding, independent of government whims. Organisations like Coastal Action and the Ocean Legacy Foundation could benefit from this Let's acknowledge the some of the key players doing their best to reduce ghost fishing: Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthiller, Central Nova MP Sean Fraser Fraser, and the Fisheries and Oceans Canada / Pêches et Océans Canada, Josh Charleson at Coastal Restoration Society, Hesquiaht First Nation– HesquiahtFirstNation, Chloe Dubois, executive director of the Ocean Legacy Foundation, NDP MP Gord Johns, Zora McGinnis Peter Cowan, Rochelle Baker

The fishing industry is a complex ecosystem, and understanding the impact of our tools is paramount to ensuring its long-term health. While the focus often falls on the catch itself, the "how" of fishing – the gear used – plays a critical role in sustainable fisheries management. Understanding gear behavior and effectiveness is essential for: ▪️Reducing bycatch: Optimizing gear design and fishing practices can significantly reduce the capture of unintended species, safeguarding biodiversity and supporting healthy populations. ▪️Minimizing environmental damage: Knowing how gear interacts with the environment allows us to minimize seabed disturbance, protect sensitive ecosystems, and promote responsible fishing practices. ▪️Improving catch efficiency: Optimizing gear performance can lead to increased catch yields while reducing fishing effort, promoting economic sustainability and reducing pressure on fish stocks. As the fishing industry faces increasing pressure from climate change, pollution, and overfishing, understanding and adapting our gear will be crucial for sustainable practices. By promoting innovation and collaboration, we can build a future where fishing thrives alongside a healthy and vibrant marine ecosystem.

In a world that increasingly seeks to embrace sustainability, the issue of destructive fishing urgently needs to be addressed. Recognised by multiple international frameworks – including the UN Sustainable Development Goals – the need to combat harmful fishing practices is greater than ever. However, until now, the lack of a precise definition has made it difficult to effectively measure and combat this problem. A significant breakthrough comes from extensive collaborative work involving 80 fisheries experts from over 30 countries. After intensive consultation, a new working definition of ‘destructive fishing’ was finally proposed. This clarification was eagerly awaited, as it allows for the precise identification of practices to be avoided in order to preserve the integrity of marine ecosystems. #blueeconomy #bluetransformation #sustainability
