Sustainable Fisheries Programme

 

The Simson Foundation is committed to working with communities and professional commercial fisherman to develop a long-term solution to the issue of fish stock depletion. By acting now to implement sustainable fish farming methods, we have a real opportunity to allow wild fish stocks to recover. Aquaculture, or farming seafood, is not new: it has been in use for several thousand years already and can bring many additional benefits, such as alleviating poverty through the development of jobs in production, processing and sales. Our aim is to work with fishing communities to maximize the development, quality and governance of offshore fish farms. This in turn will have a positive effect upon the environment, economies and quality of life for both the communities that rely upon the commercial fishing industry and, ultimately, the end-consumer.
