These stories are important to share so that policy makers understand what is at stake. "A new study shows an Atlantic salmon population in southern Newfoundland is disappearing, and it says nearby aquaculture operations are a likely contributor to the decline."

Chefs in the James Beard Foundation community have a critical role to play in bringing our world into balance. We want to celebrate this opportunity as Niaz receives this award to send a message to all chefs and share our call to action so we act together ❤️‍🔥 namanet.org/press-releases…

We are joining this action today bc big restaurant retailers' purchasing choices can enable the problem or add to the solution. This picture was taken in Berea, KY at a NFFC retreat this month to stand with fishers to say NO to GMO salmon, fish farms, & factory trawlers!

Governments and corporations are colluding to control and exploit ocean territories, sidelining fisher peoples and damaging ecosystems. We must expose this corporate takeover. The Ocean, Water, and Fisher Peoples’ Tribunals show us how: tni.org/en/publication…
