INGREDIENTS 500g of MSC certified South Australian Goolwa Pipico pipis 2g saffron thread... 100g butter 1 large clove garlic | finely minced teaspoon mild paprika Zest of 1 lemon Salt to taste METHOD 1.

20.01.2022 "Our story starts with Hapuku Fisheries, which was founded in 1988 by Vince Pavia in the seaside town of Wollongong," says Lisa Jacobsen, General Manager for Prime Fish Australia, a #TunaAustralia member operating in the Australian Eastern Tuna & Billfish Fishery. . "Originally a motor mechanic, Vince convinced his Dad and brother to take a huge risk and purchase a 38ft longline vessel called the Hapuku. Vinces 87 year old grandfather initially skippered the boat and imparte...d his years of fishing knowledge. . "In the early 1990s Jeramy Jacobsen (who is now the General Manger across all operations) was employed as a deckhand and it was from these humble beginnings that this family business began to grow to what it is today." . To celebrate Tuna Australia gaining MSC certification, we spoke with Lisa Jacobsen of Prime Fish Australia about how this Gold Coast-based business has evolved, dealing with the challenges of COVID-19, what MSC certification means for them, and what Aussie seafood lovers need to know about how the fish they love is caught and handled. .

19.01.2022 Fishery observers carry out the vital job of safeguarding our oceans. Mandated by fishery organisations, their work focuses on collecting data to enable effective regulation of marine activity. However, the isolated and contentious nature of their jobs can lead to attempts at bribery, intimidation and violence. The MSC wholly condemns violence against fishery observers. To help improve observer safety at sea, we are allocating 100,000 of funding for projects aimed at observe...r protection, accelerating our existing initiatives. http://via.msc.org/eFmF50AFOga #OceanStewardshipFund #MSCbluefishtick

16.01.2022 Shout out to the Fisheries WA sea cucumber researchers, recently returned from the Dampier Archipelago, in Murujuga Country on the Burrup Penisula, where they completed the first phase of the 2020 stock assessment survey of this fishery. Diving in these waters requires extra personal protective gear, including facial stinger guards and gloves to avoid poisonous stonefish and cone shells. Surveys involve diving transect lines, counting species and categorising habitat. Divers... use a hookah hose for air supply, and a catch bag to collect samples for length frequency data. Were wishing the research team all the best for the second phase of the survey, set to kick off mid-September, bound for Barrow Island.

10.01.2022 What do a lantern, bamboo, an angel, and a whale have in common? They are all sharks names! There are over 500 species of sharks, and they live in every ocean of the planet. The smallest shark, small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), is only 17 cm in length, while the biggest shark, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), can reach approx. 12 meters in length. Although the bamboo shark (Hemiscyllium Halmahera) can swim, it can also use its fins like hands to walk over the reef. The angelshark (Squatina squatina) has a flattened form, making it well-adapted for camouflaging itself on the sea floor. #SharkAwarenessDay #Sharks #amazingcreatures

07.01.2022 Whats a banana pinger, and how can it help protect marine life? Bycatch - the unintentional capture of unwanted fish and other marine species is a widespread ecological and economical problem. Marine mammals are particularly vulnerable to this issue as they take a long time to mature and reproduce slowly. Audio devices, such as the banana pingers, are used to limit bycatch. New research led by ExeterMarine & Cornwall Wildlife Trust showed that:... Porpoises were 37% less likely to be found close to banana pingers in Cornish waters There was no decrease in effectiveness or habituation to the device over 8 months Research into this kind of technology is vital to understanding how animals interact with fishing gear and informs how we can best protect marine life.

07.01.2022 "As a producer, I need to tell a story about my Pipis that they come from clean, cold water and are approved by the Marine Stewardship Council," says South Australian Pipi fisher and Nuffield Scholar Tom Robinson. The Nuffield Scholarship, he says, helped him find how the collection of digital data can empower fishers and enhance fishery management to maximise productivity and sustainability to provide a market advantage. Data is going to be so important to how all agricul...ture will run in the future. It was fantastic to learn from people who came from a completely different background, but had the same desire to think differently about their business. Going to sleep in double beds with hairy Irish dairy farmers took me completely out of my comfort zone, but the whole thing was a really great experience.

07.01.2022 Ask an ocean expert: what is the point of seaweed? Patricia Bianchi, ASC-MSC Seaweed Account Manager, has the answer. "Seaweeds play a key role in the ecosystem. All seaweeds are photosynthetic, which means they use energy from sunlight to help produce food for themselves, absorbing CO2 and releasing O2. Did you know that seaweeds can produce 70-80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere of the Earth.... "Seaweeds are extraordinarily diverse and have an equally diverse range of potential applications and cultivation methods. Seaweed are used in almost every product, from milkshakes to salad dressing to toothpaste. They are produced and harvested in a variety of ways, from land-based farms, farms at sea and wild harvest. From the very simple to more complex... "A major advantage in the cultivation of seaweed is the fact that feeds - the cost and availability of which are often limiting factors in the aquaculture of fish - are not needed. Yields per square metre are much higher than any other land crop and some species of brown seaweeds can grow up to half a metre a day. "Due to the rapid growth of global seaweed production and its increasing economic importance, the sector is facing many environmental and social challenges. If seaweed cultivation and harvest is not well managed, it can have a range of adverse impacts, including genetic, water pollution, disruption of local ecosystems and poor working conditions". Thanks, Patricia! Discover more about our joint Seaweed Standard with ASC - Aquaculture Stewardship Council at: https://www.asc-aqua.org/wh/our-standards/seaweed-standard/

01.01.2022 Space and sustainable fishing... Were taking part in #GRAVITYChallenge02, to help break down the barriers to sustainability faced by fishing communities around the world. For the MSC, protection of our oceans from unsustainable fishing requires accurate tracking of every boat trip. However, for smaller fisheries, proving they are not in the wrong place at the wrong time can be difficult and hinder their chances of certification.... So, weve asked innovators to come up with a solution to this potential barrier through the use of space technology with the Gravity Challenge hackathon. The Gravity Challenge is an international technology innovation program that brings together challenge providers, such as the MSC, and innovators, such as entrepreneurs, universities, start-ups and SMEs, to collaborate and create solutions to some of business and societys biggest challenges using space data and capability.
