The GSFR at “Seas of Change”
Cata and Agus, who coordinate the GSFR, were invited to co-sponsor Seas of Change – “The Poros Summit of Sea Industrial Fish Farming”. They also participated in the event together with some of GSFR’s members. At Seas of Change, communities, political representatives, scientists and NGOs from across the world gathered together to discuss the growing threat of industrial carnivorous fish farming.
Main goals:
* Come together & share information towards our common goal of protecting our environment and economies
* Collective action to demand change at the legislative level
Events like Seas of Change are amazing opportunities to team up against an industry that causes serious damage. Thank you @Rauchfoundation and @katheti.gr for stepping up organising this event and for giving us the chance of sharing our experience.

INDEX
1. In the marine waters of the Northwest, these orca whales prey exclusively on fish—and not just any fish: salmon, and preferentially Chinook, the biggest salmon in the Pacific. In this, these orcas (sometimes called Southern Residents) have plenty in common with some of the other longtime native residents of this place: the Lummi Nation.
2. In the Lummi language, the local orcas are called Qwe ‘lhol mechen.
3. When the Lummi first came to this Douglas fir and cedar cloaked land and its glacially carved bays and inlets, the Southern Residents were here to greet them.
