There is an interesting article and related platform on the cost of seafood and the issues regarding unsustainable fishing or aquaculture practices as well as the related infringements on human rights.

A lot of hope is given to the upcoming EU CSDDD, which ought to set requiremnts and define borders to exploiting nature and the people involved in fishing and fish processing.

The respective platform with some intersting stories is available at https://www.clientearth.org/latest/latest-updates/stories/tracing-a-line-do-businesses-know-the-real-cost-of-seafood/ .

Value chain due diligence is also a win-win for seafood companies: increasing efforts to mitigate environmental and human rights issues along their value chains is key to avoiding legal risks and making businesses more resilient to climate change and biodiversity loss. It will ultimately maximise traceability, and overall profits.
