I teamed up with
@GeeksWF
to record this podcast on #wifi for #fishingcrew at sea. Why is it important? how 'easy' is it? what should be provided? what is happening currently? @GSA_Seafood have a listen bit.ly/3WiHoNR

It makes no sense to waste any #seafood - ethically, environmentally or financially. @OceanCluster can help you identify and optimise usage creating secondary yields with benefits for all. Get in touch! @EarthshotPrize
On recent visit to Iceland, I was impressed by the content of this wall diagram. Before the advent of throwaway consumerism most people saw the logic of the old saying “Waste not, want not.” #FAO Blue Transformation strategy calls for global fish loss & waste to be halved by 2030

I've been so fortunate to be at the heart of this project for the past 3yrs. I've learned and I'm in no doubt that #zerowaste is critical. Let's talk about achieving full utilisation in your seafood systems, farmed or wild.
The #NamibiaOceanCluster is officially launched, with a mission to maximize utilization of all #seafood harvest & reduce #SeafoodLoss. Learn how stakeholders in the #Namibian fishing industry worked with @wef's #OceanAction Agenda to innovate solutions! 🐟 weforum.org/friends-of-ocean…

Very pleased to share this report from @GSA_Seafood exploring #bestpractices and recommendations for provision of #WiFi to fishing crew at sea. Opportunity to provide feedback via the link @GeeksWF @integratedmntr @SWFPA @thaiuniongroup @KeyTraceability globalseafood.org/blog/wifi-…
A new @FAOfish e-learning course on fish loss and waste. Full utilisation takes many routes to using all nutrition and maximising socio-economic value within environmental boundaries. It will become part of good management in time @FriendsofOcean @MSCecolabel @OceanCluster

Honoured to have this opportunity to speak at the UK Fisheries All Party Parliamentary Group next week. It is critical that #bluefoods are an embedded part of food systems strategies and dialogues @GSA_Seafood @fisheriesappg
.@msiggs, Director of @GSA_Seafood, will be speaking at our upcoming event "Blue Foods: #Seafood as a Solution Pt. 1". Melanie will be discussing the role of #aquaculture in the future of #FishingAndBlueFood. Register for the event here: loom.ly/j3_o1SM
This is terrific news, congratulations @LyellCentre @micheljkaiser et al #climatechange #ocean #coccolithophores
Researchers at the #LyellCentre have been awarded £2.2m to explore how marine life affects the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide 🌊
The CHALKY project will examine how calcification by #coccolithophores impacts pH levels.

We are seeking understand how #WIFI for fishing vessel crew is provided at sea. As a part of that work there are links to two questionnaires below. Pls share
@GSA_Seafood
- For FISHING VESSEL OWNERS

What a wonderful front cover, so important to get the ocean mainstream. Well done @Enric_Sala Ocean and Forests are the answer to everything @oceanpanel @FriendsofOcean @MSCecolabel @Bluemarinef @TIME

Super exciting can’t wait to see the results @SNTechUK @SeafoodFund when will that be?
Over August & September, @SNTechUK will be conducting full trials of LED lights attached to #Nephrops trawl nets (AKA where your scampi comes from!) to see how effective these could be in reducing unwanted #bycatch of other #fish species. Find out more 👇 loom.ly/GUBUz88

Delighted that @theresecoffey @DefraGovUK included in her itinerary a visit #Namibia to hear about the #100percentfish project and development of the first Africa #oceancluster Can't wait to be back there myself next month! @FriendsofOcean

I think we need a feel better story from time to time. I loved this. A wandering #albatross photographed off WA coast the oldest in recorded Australian history at 46 years of age abc.net.au/news/2023-04-19/a…

This is such a no brainer, and we must make sure that Seafood is a part of all food systems discussions, but eliminating wastage is a critical piece and as you know, one of my favourite subjects!
Despite the topic of reducing food loss and waste being addressed by numerous initiatives at policy and private sector levels, with a view to achieving SDG 12.3, seafood is left out of nearly all conversations! Yet between 30% and 35% of seafood caught is either lost or wasted post harvest, according to the @FAO

Interesting paper co-authored by @HeriotWattUni @LyellCentre @micheljkaiser Good reasons to recognise the important appropriate role of trawl caught fish in food systems, particularly if investment and regulation support changes and investments needed @MSCecolabel @hilbornr

I tweeted from the #BeyondGrowth symposium held at the @HeriotWattUni supported by @OECD Here's a video from the symposium ahead of the report to be shared. Well done @marinemumbles
The #BeyondGrowth symposium @HeriotWattUni last month explored practical ways to a #WellbeingEconomy for #fisheries 🎣
WATCH: In this 📼participants discuss the event and what's needed to create a socially and environmentally fairer world for all🌏

@seafishuk Ethics Alliance CLG meeting today. I presented on @GSA_Seafood #Worker Voice and #grievance Mechanism project and - underway - the #wifi research project (levels, experience and conditions of access for crew, challenges and costs for skippers and vessel owners)

I was delighted to talk to @PaulFer13180972 when I was at @HeriotWattUni and to see the #smarttrawl apparatus Well done @fisorguk @KaraBrydson Using tools like this and #catchcam @SNTechUK we can eliminate by catch in trawl fisheries over time
Professor at the #LyellCentre, Paul Fernandes, has created a smart fishing net that can reduce bycatch from trawling🌊
Read👇 how Smartrawl, developed with input from #industry, is set to revolutionise global #fisheries. 🎣

I’ve had the joy of spending the week @HeriotWattUni for the #beyondgrowth #fisheries symposium. A terrific event. Bonus was a visit to the #robotarium #spyintheocean @fisorguk #smarttrawl #urv and the sunshine, wildflowers, bees and squeaky oyster catchers
