What is sustainable fishing?
This is the topic for the first fascinating Cafe Scientifique Tauranga meeting for 2024 at the Tauranga Yacht & Powerboat Club on February 26.
"Cafe Scientifique welcomes Alex Webb to inform us on sustainable fishing and the meaning of the MSC blue tick label," says organisers Warren and Julia Banks.
Have you ever wondered what happens to enable a fish product to carry the MSC blue fish tick label for sustainable fishing?
And what is sustainable fishing anyway! Is it the amount of fish we take? The way we fish?
Are any species of fish more sustainable than others? And how sustainable is fishing on the whole anyway?
New Zealand claims to be clean and green but how does New Zealand perform globally in sustainable fishing?
These questions and more will be answered by Alex, the Marine Stewardship Council Oceania’s Senior Communications and Marketing Specialist.
At the meeting on February 26, Alex will also discuss interesting innovations happening in the industry; and how, in such a global industry we can use science to help manage traceability and combat fish fraud.
A community project organised by Julia and Warren Banks, Saffron Consulting Ltd, the meetings provide a chance to learn about real science for the price of a cup of coffee.
Register here for the event, which runs from 7pm - 9pm on Monday, February 26.
