Food and Water Watch Looks at Offshore Fish Farms
Food and Water Watch released the first issue (pdf) of The Fish Dish, a newsletter about aquaculture.
This lobby’s articles might annoy readers who dislike sensationalist text—sharks! that’s right, sharks! love to prey on offshore fish farms—but most will find interesting tidbits. For instance, oil companies want to hook aquaculture pens to offshore oil rigs so that they can leave the rigs in place, rather than move them when production stops.
The newsletter has numerous calls to action: Oppose the World Trade Organization’s attempts to remove food safety laws, oppose Senate bill 1195, which would “allow fish farming in our federal waters,” and the like.
It’s worth the two minutes you’ll spend skimming it.
