Community-Supported Fisheries
Community-Supported Fisheries (CSFs) involve local support for fishers who practice sustainable methods, enhancing local economies and reducing food miles.
Traceability
Traceability systems track the journey of seafood from catch to consumer, ensuring legal and sustainable sourcing.
Seasonal Fishing
Seasonal fishing respects the natural breeding seasons of fish, allowing populations to regenerate and maintaining the long-term viability of the species.
Climate-Smart Fisheries
Climate-smart fisheries adopt practices that reduce their carbon footprint and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, protecting marine ecosystems.
Habitat Restoration
Habitat restoration includes actions taken to repair damaged marine ecosystems, which supports the overall health of the ocean and its species.
Reduction of Ghost Fishing
Reducing ghost fishing involves preventing abandoned or lost gear from continuing to catch wildlife, thereby protecting marine species and habitats.
Biodegradable Fishing Gear
Biodegradable fishing gear reduces the long-term impact of lost or discarded equipment on marine life and ecosystems.
Aquaculture
Aquaculture, or fish farming, can be practiced in a sustainable way to reduce the pressure on wild fish populations and provide a controlled environment for fish production.
Eco-labeling
Eco-labeling provides consumers with information about the sustainability of seafood products, promoting the purchase of environmentally responsible options.
Sustainable Fishing
Sustainable fishing ensures that fish populations are harvested at a rate where they can replenish, thus maintaining the species' population and the ecosystem's balance.
Fish Stock Assessments
Fish stock assessments evaluate the health and abundance of fish populations, informing sustainable catch limits and management practices.
Bycatch Reduction
Bycatch reduction involves using fishing techniques that avoid catching non-target species, which helps protect biodiversity and reduces waste.
Marine Protected Areas
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are regions of the ocean where human activities are more strictly regulated to conserve marine ecosystems and species.
Selective Gear
Selective fishing gear is designed to target specific species and sizes of fish, reducing unintended catches and habitat damage.
Collaborative Management
Collaborative management involves stakeholders at all levels working together to ensure sustainable seafood practices, considering ecological, economic, and social factors.
