Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Offensive in Brussels so that Thailand does not put its tuna into the EU without tariffs

EUROPEAN UNION
Friday, May 03, 2024

The European Commission's negotiations to sign a free trade agreement with Thailand have perhaps forged not strangers, but unprecedented bedfellows. The NGOs Oceana and EJF (Environment Justice Foundation), the fishing association Europêche, and the canning association Anfaco-Cecopesca met with the general director of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs (DG Mare), to convey to Charlina Vitcheva their concern that countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines and, above all, Thailand, can take advantage of the change in the political cycle in the EU to blur the red lines that the community industry and conservationists had marked, such as the consideration of tuna as a sensitive product, the demand for equal rules of gambling or the fight against illegal fishing.

Other Media | BBC: Lifeline for future of village fishing industry

UNITED KINGDOM
Friday, June 20, 2025

The fishing industry in a Cornish village has been thrown a lifeline following the closure of Plymouth Fish Market.

Previously the Plymouth market operated a collection and auction service for fish landed at Polperro and other small ports in the area.

The port's only remaining trawler, the Rebecca V, has since been forced to take its catch to Plymouth for it to be transported by lorry to Brixham market.

Other media | MundoAcuicola: Mowi Scotland confirms seabed recovery after farm closure

UNITED KINGDOM
Thursday, June 19, 2025

Mowi released the results of an environmental study confirming the full recovery of the seabed following the closure of the Isle of Ewe salmon farm, located off the northwest coast of Scotland. The research is part of the company's recent biodiversity strategy, which reinforces its commitment to a healthy environment and responsible ocean farming.
 
According to the company, a healthy marine environment is essential for fish welfare and successful farming, which is why the sector operates under some of the strictest environmental protection regulations in the world. "Before a farm is approved, extensive work is carried out to ensure it will not have long-term impacts on the environment," the company stated. Once operations begin, a permanent monitoring system is implemented.

Other Media | iPac.aquaculture: Skretting Launches Its 2024 Impact Report

NORWAY
Thursday, June 19, 2025

In 2024, Skretting published its first impact report (2023 Impact Report) after years of publishing sustainability reports. This change was not just in name; it was intended to demonstrate that everything the company did had an impact on both the environment and society. This second impact report (2024 Impact Report) also comes with a new twist: in addition to documenting the progress made in its global operations, it marks the launch of a new sustainability value proposition, ACT. For Skretting, "sustainability is about taking action that drives real change and generates long-term value."
Hence this new ACT proposal, which stands for Action (doing what matters most and with impact), Connection (engaging the right stakeholders to accelerate change), and Transparency (being seen as a trusted advisor and providing accurate and appropriate information).

FAROE ISLANDS

GroAqua tows world’s largest feed barge to site.

Aquaculture technology firm GroAqua has begun towing what it describes as the world’s largest fish feed barge to a Bakkafrost salmon farming site, where it is expected to go into immediate operation.

The barge will operate autonomously using GroAqua’s FishFeeder and GroVision systems, without requiring crew on board.

SPAIN
Wednesday, June 18, 2025

Efficient decision-making during fishing operations begins with access to reliable, high-quality, real-time information. Therefore, Satlink has incorporated new features into its Satlink Ocean Manager (SOM), making it easier for the longline fleet to use key data quickly and intuitively.

Among the main new features is a feature developed specifically for this fleet: the visualization of the geoposition of longline buoys on oceanographic layers, which offers a complete view of all the information necessary for fishing activities.

Other Media | Faro de Vigo: Namibia plans more open quota auctions, raising concerns in the sector

NAMIBIA
Tuesday, June 17, 2025

  • The local government defends this system to obtain more money for permits
  • Companies lament the lack of legal certainty: "There is increasing uncertainty"

Investments in assets such as vessels or processing plants need time to mature to guarantee a return. That's why the prospect of an annual revisable quota allocation in Argentina—which, for all practical purposes, is what Europe does—sparked massive pushback in the sector and put the signing of new projects on hold: it is unfeasible to schedule a disbursement of this magnitude without having the guarantee of being able to fish.

In the Falklands, for example, the allocation of permits for 25 years paved the way for the largest fleet renewal in the fishing ground in the last four decades. This type of certainty is increasingly lacking in Namibia's fishing policy, one of the key markets for fishing with Galician capital.
