After two years of declining quantities, German fisheries brought more fish ashore again in 2023. They recorded a landing weight of 156,924 tons, about 4% more than the previous year, the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE) reported in Bonn on Friday. The increase in fish quantities is attributed mainly to higher catch quotas for schooling fish such as blue whiting. The fishermen achieved revenues of around €182 million ($200 million), slightly less than in 2022, when it was about €187 million. "The reason why the revenue for German fishermen has declined despite increased landing qu...

Cats as far as the eye can see: your idea of heaven or hell? Tashirojima, off Japan's northeastern coast, is home to more than 100 cats, leaving space for only 50 humans. Along a paved road running two kilometres between the island's two ports, cats groom themselves and mingle with other cats. Everything is built around their comfort, so you won't find any car rental shops, petrol stations or public transportation here. Tourists are expected to walk up and down the island's hills while visiting. Most of the cats are used to tourists, who can be seen petting the friendly animals throughout the ...

Boynton Beach (United States) (AFP) - The goliath grouper, a colossus of a fish that can weigh up to 360 kilograms (nearly 800 pounds), is the delight of divers in Florida, though scientists warn their numbers are down since the US state allowed fishing of the giants to resume.

"And so, really, we feel that the fish is worth a lot more alive than it is dead." During a sea trip early this mont...

Washington (AFP) - US environmental authorities on Tuesday blocked a huge gold and copper mine project in Alaska's pristine salmon-rich Bristol Bay. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) move is a victory for environmental activists, the fishing industry and indigenous groups who had been fighting the Pebble mine for two decades. Citing the Clean Water Act, the EPA said it was blocking the project to "help protect Bristol Bay, the most productive wild salmon ecosystem in the world." "The Bristol Bay watershed is a vital economic driver, providing jobs, sustenance, and significant ecologica...

Lisbon (AFP) - A long-delayed UN conference on how to restore the faltering health of global oceans kicks off in Lisbon Monday, with thousands of policymakers, experts and advocates on the case. Humanity needs healthy oceans. They generate 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe and provide essential protein and nutrients to billions of people every day. Covering more than two-thirds of Earth's surface, the seven seas have also softened the impact of climate change for life on land. But at a terrible cost. Absorbing around a quarter of CO2 pollution -- even as emissions increased by half over the...
