  2. Sustainability Today Food Service Management and Sustainable Seafood Awareness about sustainability is cutting through the seafood sector as well. What they're saying… • 88% of chain restaurant decision-makers • 73% of retailers and • 59% of seafood wholesalers "overfishing is a very serious, if not the most serious, threat to the future supply of seafood."

  3. Sustainable Seafood - Why now? Growth in Seafood Consumption Challenges World Supply • Seafood consumption worldwide has doubled since 1973; by 2020 it is estimated there will be an additional need for 32 million tons.  • In the United States alone, per capita consumption of seafood has increased over 26% since 1980. Global consumption has reached an all-time high! 31 January, 2011 - Global per-capita seafood consumption reached 17 kilograms (live weight equivalent) in 2008, an all-time high, the Food and Agriculture Organization report “The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2010,” released on Monday.

  4. And demand will continue to grow! Local Sourcing, Sustainable Seafood, Healthy Kids’ Meals, and Gluten-Free Cuisine among Hottest Restaurant Menu Trends in 2011 National Restaurant Association survey of more than 1,500 professional chefs reveals that sustainability, nutrition and food trucks will be hot trends for restaurants next year 31 January, 2011 - For the first time, the U.S. government is advising all Americans to eat seafood at least twice a week for heart and brain benefits, including pregnant and breastfeeding women. Previously, the twice-a-week recommendation was limited to heart patients.

  5. Increased demand is threatening our oceans This tremendous increase in seafood consumption, coupled with inadequate regulations and fisheries management, is placing a major stress on our oceans natural resources. Oversized fleets fishing above sustainable capacities - currently 2.5X larger! Lack of adequate regulations: Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported catch (IUU)

  6. Wasteful Fishing Practices • Bycatch • Deep sea bottom trawling

  7. The result today… • More than 75% of the world’s fisheries are now overexploited, fully exploited, significantly depleted or recovering from overexploitation. • 90% of all the “big fish” – large-bodied sharks, tuna, marlin and swordfish – have disappeared as a result of industrialized fishing. A study by a team of leading fishery scientists concluded that the world’s fisheries are in collapse and if current trends continue they will be beyond repair by 2048.
