Open Seas

Promoting sustainable seafood from Scotland's Seas


WHAT PRICE WILL YOU PAY FOR SHELLFISH?

Take Action


WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

Our seafood is amongst the best in the world, but some of it comes with a
serious environmental pricetag.

 


SEABED

A healthy seabed is the foundation of a healthy sea. Ours is a patchwork of
different habitats, some rich and diverse. Yet sensitive parts of this seabed
foundation are damaged every day by dredging for scallops and trawling for
scampi.


RECOVERY

The waters closest to our coasts have been altered, the way we use them is
restricting their recovery. We could be smarter, and could realise the potential
for recovery in ways which benefit everyone.


SUSTAINABILITY

We’re stuck in a pattern that stretches the very environmental limits of our
coastal seas. Sustainable fisheries can prosper and so too can a range of other
sustainable businesses, but not if we pursue short-term returns.




WHAT WE DO

We’re interested in protecting and recovering our marine ecosystem. We’re
interested in evidence and are not afraid to call out misinformation or
unacceptable practices.

We think that there is a sensible, innovative and longer-term approach to
looking after our seas. We’re here to present and promote it.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

#EatMoreSustainableFish. Hardly the catchiest hashtag, but better than just
heading off to #EatMoreFish no questions asked.

It’s great if you check how your tuna was caught, but what about the fish caught
closer to home? Ours is some of the best seafood in the world. When was the last
time you asked where your seafood actually came from? Eat and enjoy sustainable
fish, but why buy seafood with a big environmental price-tag?
