Seafood Sea Life

News of the Greenpeace ship chasing after the Japanese whaling fleet has been very much in the news over the past month. It seemed like there was much success from the effort as it has been reported that thousands of whales have been saved by members of Greenpeace risking their lives by going on rubber inflatables  between Nisshin Maru and the whales. This is indeed a highly commendable effort and I dream of a day when I can do my part to protect these magnificent creatures of the great ocean.

This week, celebrity chefs also joined in the campaign to promote sustainable fishing in the world. Much of the world's fish stock has collapsed since the 1950s and even more so in the recent decade. Cod and blue fin tuna is becoming a luxury these days when many still remember how plentiful there was before in the North Sea. I have to admit that I do not take much notice into the fish that I buy at Sainsbury (although I do not buy them often, but M&S will be a good alternative), I will definitely be taking a more conscious attempt in the future to ensure that they come from sustainable fisheries. 

As a diver, nothing is worse than seeing the unimaginable of a seafloor devastated by fishing trawlers. Not sure what you can do? See the following list of FAQs.
