🐟 Fishing series: A few climate conscious guidelines to buying fish: Difference between revisions

Ask your fishmonger, your local fisherman, suscribe to a “local distribution network”<ref>When in France: [https://poiscaille.fr/ Poiscaille]</ref> or read the label. Resellers have the legal obligation to communicate the type of fishery your fish is caught from. Do not trust “sustainable labels” but rather read and spot the type of fishing technic used in the production of your fish. You can then compare it to our list of “soft fishing technics” below.

One marker to keep in mind is: <u><b>the size of the boat</b></u>.

If the boat is smaller than 12 meters, you are garanteed that it does not engage in destructive forms of fishing. Indeed, 12 meters implies that the boat will not be able to go on more than 1 day trips, which rules out the possiblity to fish with a trawl in deep sea, or to fish with drift nets: it simply garantees the use of “soft fishing” methods.
