Summary:
In preparing this document, we drew on international reporting standards, such as the GRI Standards for NGOs, as a reference framework. These guidelines offered useful principles to help us communicate more clearly not only what we do, but also how we do it, in line with the same transparency and accountability that we demand from the salmon farming industry.
Around the world, more than four billion people aren’t getting enough of key vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy, according to research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Chris Golden. One promising solution: better stewardship of sources of nutrient-rich aquatic foods.
The report reviews regulatory frameworks as well as standards such as those set by Codex Alimentarius, FAO guidelines, and GFSI‑benchmarked schemes, advocating for harmonized labelling, mandatory scientific names, and improved traceability. It emphasizes the role of consumer awareness and industry transparency in combating fraud.
This study analyzes the economic impact of salmon farming on Skye and Lochalsh, arguing that current estimates often exaggerate net benefits by focusing on gross effects and omitting critical factors.
