Euronews OCEAN Season 2 episode 11 – sustainable aquaculture

As the European Commission prepares its new guidelines on sustainable aquaculture to be released in February, this episode of Ocean tells the success stories of two very different family-run aquaculture companies — one farming organic mussels in an isolated area of the Atlantic coast of Ireland, another growing trout at a popular touristic destination in landlocked Hungary.

For decades, both were improving their production methods to offer fresh, local and healthy seafood to consumers while reducing their environmental impact, expanding production and overcoming obstacles — from negative consumer perception of aquaculture products to the ongoing crisis in Europe’s restaurant sector.

Tune in to Euronews from 22 December @ 20:50 CET – on any platform.
