πŸŽͺ🐟 We can't wait until next week! Our Founder & MD, Hannah Kapff will be moderating the panel session, "Salmon in the spotlight: unpacking the farmed salmon debate" at Footprint Festival on the Friday 18th September.

πŸ’‘ Speakers include Catalina Cendoya, Director of GSFR, Agustina Copello, Coordinator of GSFR, Rachel Walker, Head of Brand & Marketing at Rockfish and Co-Founder of Disco Scallops and Mike Berthet, MD of Aquacultured Seafood Ltd. They will be exploring one of the most pressing questions in sustainable foodservice today: is farmed salmon really the safe, sustainable default we think it is?

πŸ•΅ From open-net pens, pollution, and feed to antibiotics and human-rights concerns in the wider supply chain, this discussion will look beyond the surface of this seafood staple.

πŸ“£ A huge thank you to Amy Fetzer and Charlie Miers for organising such an enticing event and bringing these critical conversations to the fore. We are excited to see some of the other illuminating sessions scheduled across the festival programme!

🌊🌱 Can we really treat all "blue foods" as equal green solutions for the planet?

🚨 As the Committee On Fisheries, , gets underway in Rome, a new report from - 'Growth Without Guardrails' - highlights a critical lack of policy safeguards as the UNFAO sets out targets to scale-up global aquaculture 75% by 2040.

πŸ¦ͺπŸͺΈ While low-impact species, like mussels and seaweed, help restore marine ecosystems, high-density farming of species like salmon and shrimp relies heavily on WILD CAUGHT fish to make feed. The result? A 'hidden' strain on marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

Key findings of the report include:
🐟 FAO’s 2040 aquaculture growth plans could see 46% of the 2020 global wild-fish catch ground up to make fish feed.
❌ Food-security safeguards aimed at limiting the diversion of fish from 'food' to 'feed' were removed in successive drafts of FAO aquaculture guidance.
🎣 An FAO workshop, organised in collaboration with a marine-ingredients lobby, failed to consider the urgent call from West African small-scale fishers to 'stop turning edible fish into feed'.

Moreover, the report concludes the FAO’s current trajectory is in conflict with its founding mandate - and UN human rights warnings - in prioritising industrial aquaculture over small-scale fisheries and plant-rich diets.

🎢 🎀 🎡 Last month, we had the enormous pleasure of hearing Curious friend, Louise Marshall, chat live on air with DJ Robert Elms a wonderfully enthusiastic (and typically self-effacing) interview for the world-famous 'Listed Londoner' show on BBC London.
Have a listen to this world class live performer and session singer share her favourite London night spots, memories, shops, restaurants, pet-hates and everything in between. We always love hearing 'real life stories' from people who spend their career collaborating with top-tier musicians - from David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) to Marc Almond (Soft Cell), Dionne Warwick, Roy Ayers - performing on the world's biggest stages. Louise is no exception. If you ever heard 'Afraid To Feel' - her No.1 dance hit with LF System, or saw her on Jools Holland's new year's Hootenanny, you'll want to hear her London recommendations - or just if you love the city as much as we do!

πŸ›’πŸ”βš–οΈ Bad news for UK public health: the difference in the density of fast-food outlets between the richest and poorest neighbourhoods has widened by 28%, as found by research from the University of Cambridge . Drawing on her academic studies into social policy and health inequalities, our colleague, Olivia See , was moved to write our latest blog: β€˜The Privilege of Eating Well: Ultra-Processed Food and the Inequality of Choice’.

When public discourse treats diet as a mere matter of individual willpower, we are reminded that health is deeply structural. What ends up on our plates is heavily dictated by corporate power, targeted marketing, and socio-economic divides that make ultra-processed food nearly impossible for many to avoid.

As Olivia argues, tackling this crisis requires shifting our focus away from personal blame toward systemic change. As she writes: 'The problem with telling people to "eat better" is that it assumes everyone is standing on the same ground... So perhaps the question is not simply "Why are people eating so much UPF?" It's "Who made it so difficult to eat anything else?"' πŸ₯—

An invasive species has taken over the Mediterranean. But did you know a new, non-indigenous species is introduced to the Mediterranean roughly every fortnight? There are now over 1,000 non native species in total. These invasive animals can threaten native species, disrupt food chains and negatively impact fishing.

A new study collated by the Cyprus Academy of Sciences, reported in The Independent , discusses the rapid increase of invasive species in the Med', especially around Cyprus and Greece. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are causing this, and the Suez Canal provides a gateway for these species to enter the Med.

🐟 The Lionfish (with its spiky crest and 'frown') is one of the most abundant of these species. It has very few natural predators in the Med', and feeds heavily on native fish. Scientists are developing special traps to remove Lionfish, while avoiding harm to local species.

πŸ“ Governments have even offered financial rewards to fisherpeople who catch them, and scientists are encouraging us to eat them. (They can be eaten safely once their poisonous spines are removed.) Researchers are also investigating whether invasive species could be used to make products such as fishmeal, cosmetics and leather.

🚫 Other invasive species include Rabbitfish, which strip underwater habitats by consuming large amounts of algae, and Pufferfish, which are poisonous and prey on native species, and can damage local fisheries and economies.

🌊 The article shows climate change and human activity have major effects on the Mediterranean ecosystem. Invasive species are threatening biodiversity and fishing industries, meaning scientists will need to continue monitoring the sea and developing new methods to control the problem.

πŸ¦β€β¬› Modern birdwatching has a brand-new demographic.

Research by Fifty5Blue - published by the RSPB - reveals that almost 750,000 Gen Z Brits (aged 16–29) regularly enjoy birdwatching - a 1,088% increase since 2018, making this the 2nd-fastest-growing hobby for this group.

🌱 The surge started during lockdown, when quiet streets brought birds back into local green spaces and prompted a new appreciation for everyday birdsong.

🌍 Amid today's climate and biodiversity crisis, young people are turning that appreciation into a deeper connection with the natural world around them. (Scientist suggest birdsong is calming because it signals an 'absence of threat'. Nobody's creeping up on us?)

Carli: Song Thrush
Wil: Robin
Olivia: Eurasian chaffinch

πŸŒ“πŸŒ•πŸŒ’ Did YOU see the solar eclipse last night?
Whether you had your ISO-certified eclipse glasses on, or got creative with a colander, we thought it was pretty epic! πŸŒ‘βœ¨ London parks and venues were heaving as everyone gathered to witness the most dramatic solar eclipse in nearly 30 years, with more than 90% of the sun covered by the moon.
There was something very special about seeing everyone come together, cheering, gasping and simply taking in the moment. A beautiful reminder of just how incredible our universe is. And how we must respect the power of the one star in our solar system, which keeps us all alive. 🌌

It is fantastic to see the insights of our client, Consultant Psychologist Dr Steven Mahan-Taylor, Clinic Director at London Bridge Therapy, featured in Psychologies Magazine.

A huge thank you to Sally Saunders for including Dr Steven’s expert commentary in this thought-provoking piece exploring the nuanced, often overlooked dynamics of manipulation within friendships.

Dr Steven notes that manipulation can take highly subtle forms: β€œexclusion, gossip, competitiveness disguised as humour, or a friend who expects unwavering loyalty while offering very little in return.” Crucially, he reminds us that β€œone of the clearest indicators of an unhealthy relationship isn’t a single behaviour, but how you consistently feel within it.”
He explains that while many people develop these patterns due to β€œearly experiences, attachment styles or emotional wounds”, understanding the root cause does not mean we must tolerate the behaviour. As Steve says, "compassion and boundaries can exist together.”

πŸ™ Could this be a historic turning point for our oceans and animal welfare?

🌊 Plans to construct the world’s first commercial octopus farm in Gran Canaria have officially been abandoned following 5 years of intense campaigning and public pushback, including over 43,000 emails sent to local port authorities.The proposed facility would have confined roughly 1 million octopuses in barren tanks every year to harvest 3,000 tonnes of meat.

❄️ In addition to requiring 28,000 tonnes of wild-caught fish as feed, major concerns focused on the proposed slaughter process: immersion in ice slurries. Freezing octopuses to death causes prolonged, severe suffering for complex, solitary, and intelligent marine animals that are entirely unsuited to factory farming.

πŸ‘ Huge congratulations to In World Farming for their incredible work leading the charge on this milestone.🌟 And congratulations to Giulia Malerbi at the Life Institute too! Having worked with Giulia, we know firsthand how fiercely she advocates for ethical food systems and aquatic life protection.
