PESCA ABC, in collaboration with YAQU PACHA and other institutions, has taken an important step towards the protection of marine fauna by publishing a fish guide that reflects our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. This fish guide is not only a compilation of species, but also a testimony of our efforts to conserve marine resources in a responsible and ethical way.
One of the most outstanding features of this catalog is that all the fish it contains come from selective and sustainable fishing methods. In an area where the Vaquita is fighting for its survival due to the use of gillnets, the PESCA ABC has committed to not using this method, which carries a high bycatch risk. Instead, selective fishing techniques have been chosen to minimize the impact on unwanted species and ensure the protection of endangered marine animals.
The catalog also reflects the inclusivity and gender equality in our community. Both men and women are actively involved in all stages of the process, from catching to marketing. We recognize and value the contribution of each individual, regardless of gender, to the conservation of our natural resources.
In order to ensure compliance with the Protection of the vaquitaTo ensure the protection of turtles and non-target species, the catalog is supported by certifications that confirm the commitment to responsible fishing practices. Last but not least, we promote the use of the Japanese IKE-JIME technique for the humane killing of fish in the catalog. This fast and humane method guarantees the quality and freshness of the fish while respecting the welfare of the animals. By introducing this technique, we are reaffirming our commitment to ethical principles in all phases of fishing activities.
In short, the launch of this fish catalog is not just an event, but an important milestone in our fight to protect the oceans. It is an expression of our shared commitment to sustainability, gender equality, compliance and respect for all marine life. We invite everyone to join us on our journey towards a future where we can enjoy the richness of the ocean without compromising its integrity.
