Wild-caught seafood is a nutritious, sustainable source of protein, yet only 1 in 5 Brits eats the recommended 2 portions of fish per week. 🐟 Our new report features a foreword by healthy food advocate @HenryDimbleby, who says: "If UK seafood consumption were to double, as recommended, we would need to ensure fishing is managed sustainably and restore stocks to healthy levels." 💬 Read more. ➡️ bit.ly/4fEfN20 #SustainableSeafood #WorldFisheriesDay

What impact does #climatechange have on fishing? 🐟 Today is #WorldFisheriesDay and as #COP29 is underway, marine heatwaves are up more than 50% in 30 years and our oceans have absorbed 93% of excess heat since the 1970s. 🌊 As the world comes together to discuss climate change we cannot forget the impact it has on fish stocks and biodiversity, the impact it has on the livelihoods of fishers like these who are working hard at sea, to take care of our Ocean and help ensure we have healthy fish stocks for the future, and ultimately, the seafood we love. 🎣 When you choose seafood with the blue MSC ecolabel, you’re supporting a more vibrant Ocean for us all to enjoy for generations to come. 💙
