Highlights from the ‘Blue Justice – Alert to Action’ campaign
On February 20th, the World’s Day of Social Justice, TBTI Global brought forward a collection of stories about Blue Justice in Small-Scale Fisheries from nine countries. Each of the stories depicts issues of (in)justice, in voices of those directly affected by it – the small-scale fishers themselves.
We summarized these highlights in an infograhic and a short video that can be viewed on TBTI YouTube channel. And while you’re there, be sure to check the original videos that were released on February 20, plus a few more that we have received since then.
The consequences of the fishmeal and fish oil industry on Senegal’s food security
In the coastal nation of Senegal, a complex interplay between global market demands and local food security is unfolding. Despite an increase in fish landings, the proliferation of the fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO) industry, driven by the insatiable global appetite for products like supermarket salmon, is not only failing to alleviate national food insecurity but is exacerbating it.
