The campaign has been organised by three european aquariums: the Genoa Aquarium, the Aquarium Finisterrae from A Coruña, Spain, and NAUSICAA and is backed by the European Commission.

The aim of the Mr Goodfsih campaign is to encourage good practice along the entire supply chain, from fishermen to consumers. It will also promote sustainable marine resources and the world’s fishing industry.

The Mr Goodfish campaign is based on the pooling of industry and consumer knowledge and experience with a shared objective of spreading good practice as widely as possible including seasonal fishing. The campaign will generate new activities and tools for the promotion of sustainable, seasonal seafood consumption.

At present the fishing industry and private sector such as restaurants are showing more interest in this subject than the public authorities.

Please RSVP to Greg Dawson if you and/or your colleagues would like to attend the Mr Goodfish launch and use the opportunity to visit Nausicaa. You will be hosted to lunch at Nausicaa, see www.nausicaa.fr
