Editorial: How Important Is Sustainability?

In Canada, the Department of Fisheries has proposed new Pacific Aquaculture Regulations, which it is hoped will increase sustainability in the sector.

The regulations are currently open to comments.

The Marine Stewardship Council has warned that the North East Atlantic mackerel could lose it's accreditation if arrangements aren't made to allocate quota sensibly.

The Council is concerned about the sustainability of North East Atlantic stocks as countries are increasing the pre-arranged quota allocations.

In the Philippines, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has pledged to promote sustainable fish farming through seminars, live fish displays and other interactive activities at this years Agrilink 2010.

Supermarket, Delhaize America has announced a new sustainable seafood sourcing programme.

The National Prawn Company (NPC) and Saudi oil company Aramco met earlier this week to discuss possible areas of cooperation in the field of environmental management.

NPC is currently engaged on a huge expansion project that, when complete in a few years, will cover an area of about five times the size of Bermuda and see the company’s output of top quality prawns soar to over 40,000 tons per annum.
