Canada's fishing communities do not understand that a moratorium on cod that was to last two years is now up to 30. However, days like this - however hopeful it may seem - may be numbered. This is because Atlantic cod (of which the northern cod is a stock) are nowhere near their former level of abundance. Thirty years ago, in a last-ditch effort to bring cod back from the brink of total collapse, the Canadian government closed the commercial cod fishery.
The octopus extraction campaign begins in Galicia until the start of the 2023 ban, which will be set through the corresponding plan. According to the plan agreed by the Consellería do Mar and the sector, until next August 31, each boat can fish a maximum quota of 30 kilograms per day. To this amount is added 30 kilos per day for each crew member enrolled on board up to a maximum of 210 kilos per day.

BioMar is the first global aquafeed supplier to adopt this 1.5°C path to net zero under the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be cut in half by 2030 and reach zero by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change. To achieve this goal, private and public entities must follow a line of reductions to keep global warming below 1.5 ºC.
We understand and support the closure of areas where vulnerable ecosystems exist” to protect the oceans and biodiversity, emphasizes Iván López, president of the European Bottom Fishing Alliance (EBFA).
