🔎 ALI and the AAA played a key role in raising concerns about the Canary Island project through a coalition letter signed by +130 orgs and prominent scientists, as well as an investigative report uncovering potential pathogens from octopus farming that could contaminate the surrounding environment and create public safety concerns, prompting the government to request a rigorous environmental impact assessment and halting progress on the farm.

🚢 A highlight of the Long Distance Advisory Council (LDAC) meetings, held recently in The Hague, was a site visit to the pelagic freezer trawler Zeeland SCH-123, operated by Cornelis Vrolijk, members of the Pelagic Freezer Trawler Association (PFA).

Understanding the realities of fishing operations is essential if we want to identify practical, evidence-based ways to improve welfare in wild-capture fisheries. 🐟 ALI will continue engaging constructively with Advisory Councils, industry, and policymakers to ensure that aquatic animal welfare is part of the conversation on responsible fisheries management.

We are grateful to Tim Heddema, PFA, and Cornelis Vrolijk for the invite, and the vessel’s captain and crew for welcoming us on board and providing a detailed look at the technology and operations involved in modern pelagic fishing.

Have you seen it yet? 🎬🐙 Stories like Remarkably Bright Creatures, recently launched on Netflix, create a rare sense of connection with species we might otherwise never encounter. As science continues to deepen our understanding of aquatic animal intelligence and sentience, there is a growing opportunity to see them differently and to care more about their welfare.
