Ua hui pū mākou i ka The Ocean Foundation a me SeaWeb ma o kahi Hui Hoʻohui Hui, ʻo ia ua hoʻomaka ʻia ma Nowemapa 17th 2015. Na ka Ocean Foundation e mālama i ke kūlana 501(c)(3) o SeaWeb, a e hoʻolako i nā lawelawe hoʻokele a me nā lawelawe hoʻokele no nā hui ʻelua. ʻO wau ke Luna Nui o nā hui ʻelua, a ʻo nā lālā o ka papa ʻelua (8 mai TOF, a me 5 mai SeaWeb) e alakaʻi i nā hui ʻelua ma ka lā 3 o Dekemaba.

No laila, e hoʻomau ka Ocean Foundation i ka hana a me ka kūpaʻa ikaika o nā papahana iʻa kai hoʻomau o SeaWeb ma o kāna hana me nā alakaʻi ʻoihana, nā mea hana kulekele, nā hui mālama, nā media a me nā ʻepekema; a me kona nānā ʻana i nā pilikia moana koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe.

Kākoʻo ʻo Ocean Foundation i kahi ala e pili ana i ka mākeke ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka holistic multi-prong approach i ke olakino moana a me ka hoʻomau ʻana (ka waiwai, ka pilikanaka, aesthetic, a me ke kaiapuni). Ua kākoʻo lōʻihi mākou i ka SeaWeb Seafood Summit a me kāna hana me ka ʻāpana iʻa e hoʻololi i kā lākou ʻoihana i ka hoʻomau. Ua kākoʻo pū ka Ocean Foundation i ka Summit ma ke ʻano he kākoʻo kālā. Ua ʻike mākou i ka waiwai o ka hoʻonaʻauao mea kūʻai ma nā koho iʻa ma o Seafood Watch a me nā alakaʻi alakaʻi iʻa. He poʻe akamai nō hoʻi mākou i ke kaʻina hana a me nā papahana hōʻoia huahana, a me ka waiwai o nā eco-labels i loaʻa mai iā lākou. Ua hana pū ka Ocean Foundation me ka Environmental Law Institute ma nā kūlana hoʻomalu no ka hōʻoia ʻana o ka iʻa. Eia hou, ua hana mākou i ka noiʻi nui ma lalo o ka mana o kahi hui Clinton Global Initiative ma ka lawaiʻa hoʻomau honua. Ua hana pū ʻo TOF me ka Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic ma Harvard Law School a me Environmental Law Institute e noiʻi i ke ʻano o nā kānāwai federal - ʻo ia hoʻi, ka Magnuson-Stevens Act a me ka Clean Water Act - hiki ke hoʻohana maikaʻi ʻia e hōʻoia i ka palena ʻana i ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni o ka iʻa iʻa ma waho.

Eia hou, ʻike mākou ma The Ocean Foundation i nā manawa nui no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻomau mau ʻana ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ke kuleana i nā papahana kuleana pili kaiaulu ma ke ʻano he ala e hoʻokokoke aku ai i nā mākeke (hilinaʻi i kāu mea kūʻai iʻa). ʻO kā mākou hana holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o ka Total Allowable Catch pololei, e pili ana i ka lawaiʻa hewa ʻole, ka hoʻoluhi ʻana a me ka lehulehu o nā hoʻololi ʻana o ka mākeke e kū nei, no laila hiki i ke ala mākeke ke kūpono a hana i kāna hana kilokilo.

A, ʻaʻole i pili kēia hana i ka iʻa iʻa, kākoʻo pū mākou a hana pū me Tiffany & Co. Foundation i ka mea i lilo i ka hoʻolaha SeaWeb Too Precious to Wear. A ke hoʻomau nei mākou i kēia mau hana kamaʻilio e hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka mākeke no nā koʻa poni a ʻulaʻula a hiki i kēia lā.

No ka hoʻonui ʻana i kā mākou mau hana, e kamaʻilio wau ma ka SeaWeb Seafood Summit (Februari ma Malta) e pili ana i ka pilina ma waena o ka acidification moana a me ka palekana o ka meaʻai, a ma ka Seafood Expo North America (Malaki ma Boston) e pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻoihana iʻa. , a e ho'āʻo iā ia e hoʻomākaukau. E hui pū me aʻu ma kēia mau hālāwai, a e hoʻomau mākou i ke kamaʻilio ʻana.
