DESCRIPTION:
FEEDING OCEANA VIA SUSTAINABLE FISHING
Australia's National Sustainable Seafood Week, held annually in March and April, is a celebration dedicated to promoting sustainable seafood practices and raising awareness about protecting marine ecosystems. Organized by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), this week-long event highlights the efforts of fisheries, retailers, and consumers in ensuring the future health of the oceans.
National Sustainable Seafood Week focuses on educating the public about sustainable seafood, showcasing seafood products that meet rigorous sustainability standards, and encouraging responsible consumption. Throughout the week, various activities, including cooking demonstrations, educational workshops, and promotional campaigns, aim to inform and inspire Australians to choose sustainably sourced seafood.
Fisheries, retailers, restaurants, and consumers across Australia participate in National Sustainable Seafood Week. Certified fisheries and seafood brands often feature special promotions and educational content to highlight their sustainable practices. Restaurants may offer special menus featuring certified sustainable seafood, while retailers promote MSC-certified products. Consumers are encouraged to look for the MSC blue fish tick label when purchasing seafood and to learn more about the sustainability of their choices.HISTORY AND PURPOSE
The MSC launched the initiative in 2016 to address growing concerns about overfishing and its impact on marine biodiversity. The primary purpose of Sustainable Seafood Week is to promote the benefits of sustainable fishing practices and to support fisheries that adhere to environmental standards. By spotlighting sustainable options, this event seeks to drive consumer demand toward harvested seafood in ways that minimize environmental impact and ensure the long-term viability of fish populations.WHAT MAKES SEAFOOD SUSTAINABLE?
Sustainable seafood is sourced from fisheries that operate in ways that ensure the long-term health and stability of fish populations and marine ecosystems. Critical criteria for sustainability include avoiding overfishing, minimizing bycatch (capturing non-target species), and reducing environmental impact. Organizations like the MSC, which evaluates fisheries based on rigorous scientific standards, often certifies sustainable practices.HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Australia's National Sustainable Seafood Week plays a crucial role in promoting the sustainability of marine resources. By supporting sustainable practices, participants help protect ocean health and ensure the availability of seafood for future generations. The week-long event serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to preserve marine biodiversity and foster a more sustainable relationship with the ocean.
