Fish City first to join Sustainable Fish Cities NI
Fish City is the first business in Northern Ireland to join Sustainable Fish Cities NI and pledge support in buying and serving seafood from sustainable sources, using sustainable catch methods in seas where species are healthy and thriving.
Sustainable Fish Cities NI is an ambitious campaign by Ulster Wildlife and Nourish NI to create Northern Ireland’s first-ever Sustainable Fish Cities in Belfast and Derry/Londonderry.
Any business or organisation that serves fish, from restaurants and retailers to hospitals and education establishments, can get involved by committing to buy, serve, eat, and promote fish from sustainable sources. Businesses and organisations can do this by signing the pledge and completing a self-audit of seafood they serve against the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide.
Since 2012, Sustainable Fish Cities has racked up an impressive track record of success across the UK with over 1 billion meals served each year by caterers committing to sustainable fish with 17 cities put on the map. Many individuals and organisations across the UK including shops, fish suppliers, restaurants, schools, and tourist attractions have successfully made the change to sustainable seafood - fully supported by consumer encouragement and buying power.
This campaign aligns with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
12. Responsible Consumption & Production
13. Climate Action
14. Life Below Water
What is a Sustainable Fish City?
A city becomes a Sustainable Fish City by securing pledges from small and large businesses and organisations. A signed pledge represents a commitment to take action to buy, serve and promote sustainable seafood.
