Green and Blue Growth: Challenges and opportunities for fisheries, aquaculture and the seafood industry

Location: Bilbao, Spain

Dates: 02 - 03 May 2012

Expand

Fisheries and aquaculture are important sources for proteins and livelihoods. They are based on the exploitation of renewable resources with a high potential for environmental degradation when production is not based on sustainable policies.
Green/blue growth policies in relation to fisheries and aquaculture production have to address different challenges in order to cope with issues of sustainability in the framework of increasing demand for fish protein, increasing production costs and increasing competition from other maritime productive and non-productive economic sectors and services.
In this context the workshop will investigate how fisheries and aquaculture can be integrated and operate sympathetically with the concept of a green economy.
For programme and registration informtion please see below.

Fish Fight Poland launch

Location: Warsaw, Poland

Dates: 23 April 2012

Expand

On Friday, April 23, Fish Fight will launch its Europe-wide discards ban campaign in Poland. The event will take place in front of the Polish Parliament (Sejm), and will be led by a Polish celebrity chef, Robert Makłowicz.  The event will be attended by policy makers, fishermen, environmental organizations, scientists, and the public. Youth will also be a big part of the event, as some schools in Warsaw have been invited to take part. To promote diversification of our fish eating habits, Robert Makłowicz will also demonstrate- by cooking on site- that it is possible to enjoy eating discarded/unwanted catches, as long as they are not undersized/juvenile fish or protected species. If you would like to join in, the event will take place 30 March, starting at noon until 14:00 at the Polish Sejm in Warsaw, Poland. Check the Fish Fight Poland website for more information.
