Ocean Wise Seafood

Defining Waste in Fisheries (Pt. 2!) Check out our newest Aquablog about post-harvest fish losses, the second instalment of a two-part series exploring waste in fisheries. What can you do to reduce post-harvest fish loss?... Eat with the season, and try to eat locally. Don’t be afraid of frozen seafood! Flash frozen seafood preserves its freshness and allows it to be stored longer. Ensure your refrigerator and freezer are kept at proper temperatures. Celebrate your seafood and be purposeful about how you consume it don’t let those leftovers go to waste!

SNEAK PEAK Toronto Food Film Fest Q&A panel discussion hosted by Sophika Kostyniuk, our very own Director of Fisheries and Seafood interviewing Fish & Men directors Darby Duffinand Adam Jones Special guests:... James Beard Award winning chef Michael Cimarusti & Valentine Thomas, spearfisher and popular sustainable seafood advocate. "I pitched it as Food Inc meets Deadliest Catch: we take you into the world of commercial fishing, specifically and mostly in Boston, MA, the oldest post in North America and we introduce you quite quickly in the film to what that lifestyle is like. We take you right into one of our fishing characters, Foster Sherman, who recounts his experience when he was a young guy in his 20s: lost at sea in the Atlantic Ocean in November... so you can only imagine what the outspring is like when his boat sank." Open up your minds - and pallets! https://www.youtube.com/watch

"These rockfish indicate that it is only the larger magnitude Ocean Nino Index events, those we are witnessing more and more with climate change, that affect their seasonal movement patterns."

...as women moved into these new roles, some of their neighbors began to endorse them as important members of the fishery. Once this empowerment starts to happen in any activity, it will naturally affect women empowerment as a whole in their daily lives, in their household, in their community. Mongabay.com
