Today, on Global Omega-3 Day it is important to raise awareness of the 80% of people worldwide who are not getting enough EPA and DHA omega-3s in their diets. This is an essential nutrient for all of us. iffo.com/march-2023-edi…

Farmed fish is the most resource-efficient animal protein on the planet. iffo.com/nutrition-opti…

“In 2022 the world's population surpassed eight billion and is set to continue growing. This growth makes it crucial to transform global food systems” weforum.org/whitepapers/th…

Sincere desire for improvement or hidden agenda ? Handy guide to determine the motivations of activists and NGO’s from Dr Hugh Mitchell :

“What do I like most ?” “The people.”

“The ocean provides more than half the oxygen on the planet,food and critical nutrition for billions of people and millions more livelihoods across a range of ocean sectors from fishing and aquaculture to tourism, maritime transport and renewable energy” weforum.org/agenda/2023/03…

Environmental groups and NGO’s have long voiced support for the idea of land based salmon farming. It’s remarkable how quickly this changes when one is actually proposed. thelincolnite.co.uk/2023/03/graffi…

“We are the original environmentalists, not the fancy downtown activists…We protect the wild salmon while at the same time exploring opportunities of a growing sustainable salmon farming industry that supports the future of our communities” firstnationsforfinfish.ca/news/bc-coalit…

“The public interest is best served by the free exchange of ideas.” - John Kane. Not for jack, apparently :
