Greening the Fishing Industry


본문
One of the key drivers of this shift is the use of netting systems preventing non-target catches, such as tuna-safe nets, as well as angling equipment reducing the catch of non-target species. This not only helps to protect marine species but also protect vulnerable marine species like whales.
Another innovation in eco-friendly fishing practices is the use of catch-and-release fishing, which involves releasing caught seafood back into the sea to reduce the burden on wildlife. This approach not only helps to protect marine species but also provides a exciting fishing experience for serious fishermen.
In addition to the use of eco-friendly fishing gear, many angling professionals are now adopting more sustainable fishing methods, such as selective trawling, which involves dragging a net along the sea floor. This method can be more selective and reduce bycatch compared to traditional trawling methods.
The use of aquaculture, or rearing fish in enclosed systems, is another important aspect of eco-friendly fishing practices. Aquaculture involves raking in fish in a controlled environment to reduce the pressure on natural marine species.

The certification of seafood products by organizations like the Marine Stewardship Council has also played a key role in promoting eco-friendly fishing practices. The Marine Stewardship Council is a international organization that sets standards for responsible fishing practices and its certification scheme provides consumers with a way to distinguish seafood products that are caught or produced using eco-friendly practices.
For consumers, supporting eco-friendly fishing practices is easier than ever. When buying fish, look for products carrying the MSC certification or come from suppliers adopting sustainable fishing practices. Selecting local seasonal seafood can help to reduce the environmental impact associated with transporting fish from fishing locations overseas.
