The sustainability of the hake deep-sea trawl fishery is in the spotlight for World Fisheries Day. This year, MSCinAfrica has partnered with sadstia to recognise the rewards of sustainable fishing with the release of a short film:
called “Together we fish for the future” to demonstrate that to make a real change and contribute to the health of our oceans, it takes the collaboration of industry partners, seafood businesses and civil society.There are eight characters in the short film.
“The rewards of a sustainable fishery cannot be overstated,” said Felix Ratheb, chairman of SADSTIA and CEO of Sea Harvest. “The hake deep-sea trawl fishery delivers R8.5 billion to the economy every year. Provided it continues to be managed diligently in terms of scientific recommendations, the fishery will continue to generate these benefits for South Africa for generations to come. That is what sustainability means.
The MSC, responsible for the world’s most widely used sustainable seafood ecolabel, is an international non-profit organisation that sets globally recognised, science-based standards for sustainable fishing and the seafood market. It is the only wild-capture fisheries certification and ecolabelling programme that meets the best practise requirements set by both the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and ISEAL, the global membership association for sustainability standards.
