Passionfish is a creative blend of civic dialogue, commerce,
conservationall working together to safeguard the future of fish
and fishing. Passionfish is a multi-media public education project that
confronts the real and perceived problems and promises in fisheries.
Passionfish is the single largest endeavor uniting diverse stakeholders
to discuss fishery and seafood sustainabilityand doing so in the
company of the seafood and culinary industries whose members profoundly
influence consumer demand.
"Sustainable fisheries": Few issues are more factious
or more urgent. Simply put, many fish are being removed from the sea
faster than they are reproducing. Not just prized species are jeopardized.
Communities dependent upon fishing are also threatened. Similarly, the
health of habitats is being compromised. And yet some fisheries are
flourishing. As a result, industry and environmentalists are squaring
off. Passionfish is stepping in to offer sensible dialogue about sensitive
issues. How? Through our forums, feasts, broadcasts, and books.
