The VI Meeting of the Seas concludes that we have the responsibility to increase fish consumption to improve our health and at the same time recover that of the seas
The sixth edition of the Meeting of the Seas has come to an end with an interesting day in which very diverse topics surrounding fish have been discussed., from how climate change affects him to his healing process, as well as the urgent need to increase consumption rates to reconnect humans with the ocean and help improve their physical and mental health.. In addition, Synergies have been shown that have emerged in this same forum and that are already helping to improve fishing techniques on the island. And there has also been talk about how and to what extent we should protect the seas. All of them topics that have been treated from different points of view with positions that are sometimes very distant between science and fishing., which gives the congress a multifaceted look at the oceans and their future.
Y, with the satisfaction that facts give when they accompany words, Benjamin Wool, general director of Vocento Gastronomy, was congratulated at the closing ceremony of this congress: “It is exciting to see how this Meeting has that real capacity to change things, “a small grain of sand”. He has defined this edition as “one of the most nutritious” and “with many underlying issues” and, after reviewing some of the most interesting reflections of these days, is left with the fact that “in order to start working together, “We assume that we have the responsibility and the ability to reverse the damage caused to the oceans.”.
He has also emphasized the need to “consume fish again in this part of the world and do things right so that they can also consume it in other places.”, because fish don't have a passport, "They are from the world". Lana has urged attendees to see each other again in a year, hoping that this year, again, synergies have emerged between them.
Valentín González, counselor of the primary sector and animal welfare of the Island Council of Tenerife, picked up the baton and called to continue with a new edition of the Meeting of the Seas in Tenerife. A congress that, according to the counselor's own words, “makes it possible to make visible the island's fishing sector, make it known. And what is, at the same time, an important challenge and an opportunity for Tenerife”.
