8 Seas Value
Increased human demand for fish and subsidies for fishing fleets have resulted in too many boats chasing too few fish. Global wild catches are dropping at an alarming rate. To keep up with the growing population, food production will need to increase. Large land mammals like cattle require huge amounts of water and agricultural land to graze and grow feed. Fish and seafood offer much more efficient food conversion ratios.
Seafood consumption is also on the rise, it makes up 17% of the protein in people’s diets around the world, and that number continues to grow. Eating seafood isn’t just good for our planet, it’s good for us. Fish contains many essential nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids.
“A sustainable blue economy is one that seeks to promote economic growth and preserve and improve livelihoods across a range of sectors, while ensuring the sustainable use of marine resources.
It is an economy based on circularity, collaboration, resilience, opportunity and inter-dependence. Its growth is driven by investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy efficiency, harness the power of natural capital, and halt the loss of biodiversity and the benefits that these ecosystems provide.”
