Ted Danson Blogs About Wasted Seafood

Actor Ted Danson's recent op-ed on Huffington Post says Oceana's new report reveals there is a staggering amount of marine life caught by fisheries as bycatch that is discarded, which he says is a daily waste of many tons of edible fish.

“Fishermen usually target one type of seafood, a specific type of fish,” says Danson, “but depending upon the type of fishing gear they use, they often catch enormous amounts of species that aren’t on their list. These animals are usually tossed overboard, injured, dying or dead.”

Some fisheries in the States end up throwing away more marine life than they keep, he says, as much as up to 66 percent, and one scallop fishery cited in the report was allowed to throw away more flounder than flounder fishermen were allowed to catch and keep.

Oceana, the largest international organization dedicated solely to protecting the world’s oceans, celebrated the recent commitment by the Wyss Foundation to help rebuild fisheries at its annual New York City Gala last week.

The benefit took place in the beautiful Pool Room at The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City.

Oceana honored Hansjorg Wyss’ contribution to protecting and restoring our oceans. Well-known as a land conservationist, Wyss’ first grant for the oceans will support scientists and policy experts in Canada and Peru who are working toward rebuilding fisheries in these two key countries that account for close to 14 percent of all the wild ocean fish landed by weight. With the addition of these two international offices, Oceana is now active in countries that control close to 40 percent of the wild fish caught in our oceans.
