The Isle of Man has sole fishing rights within 3 miles of its coast and must negotiate fishing quotas between 3-12 miles with other nations. Its queen scallop fleet has declined from 70 vessels in the 1980s to around 30 now. In the past, overfishing damaged scallop beds and the industry was in decline. However, recent management measures have protected scallop areas, established catch limits, increased the minimum size, and required satellite monitoring. This sustainable management has led to increased scallop landings and the potential for a Protected Designation of Origin for Isle of Man queen scallops.
Sablefish Canada is partnering with the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nation to develop a sustainable sablefish aquaculture operation in Kyuquot Sound, BC.

The project was funded through a partnership of local and state organizations. The new shoreline consists of cobblestones covered with sand and anchored by marsh grass, designed to migrate inland with rising water levels instead of being eroded. Initial estimates for restoration costs were over $1 million but the final cost was $271,473, split between the county and a conservation organization. The beach is now part of a county park open by reservation.

Presentation irish fishing industry 14.05.2014Noel Donagh
Noel Mc Donagh presented on the challenges facing Ireland's fishing industry. He discussed how overfishing has led to fewer fish, forcing fishermen to take more risks working longer hours in worse conditions. This has led to increased fatalities and the closure of many traditional fisheries. Effective management and communication between stakeholders is needed to replenish fish stocks and resume sustainable fishing. The government and EU must provide more support to address the industry's decline for the livelihoods of fishing communities.
Kuterra aquaculture by ‘Namgis First Nation raises hope for wild salmon— and ...Tyee Bridge
The 'Namgis First Nation has launched Kuterra, a land-based closed containment aquaculture project, as an alternative to open net-pen salmon farming which many conservation groups oppose due to risks to wild salmon from sea lice and disease transmission. Kuterra aims to be more environmentally sustainable while still economically viable. It has garnered international interest but its long term profitability remains to be proven after two years of operations. The project aims to catalyze a transition within the salmon farming industry toward closed containment systems.

The Wetland Globe Awards ceremony in Bucharest honored wetlands around the world with BLUE or GREY globes for best and worst management. BLUE awards went to wetlands showing sustainable practices benefiting communities and wildlife. These included sites in Madagascar, Japan, Bulgaria, the US, Peru and New Zealand. GREY awards highlighted degraded wetlands in Australia, Colombia, Croatia, South Korea, and Benin due to issues like pollution, development pressures, and unsustainable use. The chairman of the World Wetland Network said the awards aim to demonstrate both the economic and ecological values of wetlands managed with nature in mind versus short-term exploitation.

This document summarizes the results of a commercial-scale Atlantic salmon growout trial conducted in a land-based, freshwater, closed-containment system at The Conservation Fund's Freshwater Institute. The trial demonstrated that Atlantic salmon can be grown from post-smolt (~340g) to harvest size (4-4.6kg) within approximately 12 months in the closed-containment system. Key findings included a mortality rate of 11.4%, a feed conversion rate of 1.09, and the successful production of over 7 metric tons of salmon without the use of antibiotics, pesticides, or other chemicals. The document concludes that full-scale closed-containment systems have the potential to provide a more sustainable method
