Wanted: Sustainable Seafood

Next time you’re standing at the seafood counter, perplexed, trying to remember which type of fish is the “good kind”, and which is the “bad kind” – rest assured that you’re not alone. The good news is that 91% of Canadians want their fish and other seafood to come from sustainable and non-overfished stocks. The bad news, however, is that only 8% feel they have enough information about where their seafood comes from.

Canada Celebrates World Oceans Day

Plug your nose – it’s almost time to plunge into World Oceans Day. The first Ocean’s Day took place on June 8, 2002 as an international celebration of the bodies of water that give us so much – our food, a means of travel, and a source of pleasure. This year’s theme for World Ocean’s Day is “Youth: The Next Wave for Change”.

How industry can make a difference when it comes to sustainable seafood

The 9th annual Seafood Summit that some of my colleagues have blogged about wrapped up last week, and some of the experiences are still fresh in my mind. One highlight was the recorded address from His Royal Highness Prince Charles. Among his clear and simple closing remarks, he said that the private sector has a tremendous opportunity to create an increased demand for sustainable seafood.

My “ah-ha” moment

It was day three of the International Seafood Summit here in Vancouver and I was sitting in the closing session. As you may remember from last week’s blog – I was very excited to be coming to this Summit, and I had grand expectations that I would come away from these information-packed sessions with all kinds of solutions that would revolutionize the mind set of the mass public. To come away with the right messages that would flick the mental switch and turn on the light bulb – making people “get” why they need to choose sustainable seafood. Let’s just say I was a bit optimistic – some may even say naive.

Crowded seas

That’s not my title, by the way. It’s the title taken from a half day symposium here at the 9th annual global Seafood Summit in Vancouver. The summit brings together the seafood industry and conservation community each year for ‘in-depth discussions on making the marketplace environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.’

Where does our seafood come from?

Last night I enoyed a friend’s birthday dinner at a nice little French bistro in Vancouver. Many of us ordered salmon – it read wild coho on the menu – but when the waiter came to me, I made a point of asking, where did it come from?
