PESCA ABC, in collaboration with YAQU PACHA and other institutions, has taken an important step toward protecting 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 testament to our efforts to conserve marine resources in a responsible and ethical manner.
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 survival due to the use of gillnets, has PESCA ABC committed to not using this method, which carries a high risk of bycatch. Instead, selective fishing techniques have been chosen that 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 preservation of our natural resources.
To ensure compliance with the regulations on Protection of the vaquitaTo ensure the protection of endangered species, such as sea turtles and non-target species, the catalog is supported by certifications that confirm a 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 quick and humane method guarantees the quality and freshness of the fish while respecting animal welfare. With the introduction of this technique, we reaffirm 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 with regulations, and respect for all marine life. We invite everyone to join us on the journey toward a future where we can enjoy the riches of the sea without compromising its integrity.
