European Strategic Seafood Alliance launched at Seafood Expo with a united call: “Eat Fish”
Barcelona, 24 April 2024
AIPCE CEP, EAPO, EUROPECHE, and FEAP, representing the EU fisheries and aquaculture industries, today announced their intent to form a strategic alliance aimed at advancing shared goals and promoting critical industry priorities on a broader stage at the Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona.
Gus Pastoor (President AIPCE), Lara Barazi (FEAP), Yobana Bermudez (President CEP), Javier Garat (President EUROPECHE) and Esben Sverdrup-Jensen (President EAPO).
Through this alliance, they seek to amplify their impact by forging common ground and promoting collaborative initiatives to reach out to a wider audience. “We need society to be aware that fishery and aquaculture products represent a low-carbon source of animal protein that offers significant advantages for human health, climate impact and sustainability. Seafood consumption is good for the people’s and planet’s health.”
By uniting efforts, the alliance intends to bring these topics to the forefront of EU and global policy discussions. “We believe that by aligning our efforts, we can achieve meaningful progress in advancing the positive message of seafood consumption,” said the representatives from the five associations. “Together, we can effectively communicate the value of our products, advocate for supportive policies and drive positive change.”
