The AMCS Fisheries Unhooked campaign actively promotes sustainable fishing practices and exposes unsustainable fishing where it occurs. Fishing has by far the greatest direct impact on our oceans. Addressing overfishing, damage to marine habitats and unacceptable levels of bycatch are among the greatest conservation challenges facing AMCS today. Growing concern in the Australian community about fishing impacts is translating into growing support for AMCS as its efforts are needed now more than ever before. Fisheries Unhooked also guides seafood lovers towards making more sustainable seafood choices. Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide offers our first comprehensive guide to the world of commercial fishing, fishing gear, fishing impacts and seafood species, all from the conservation perspective. Through helping seafood lovers make more sustainable choices, AMCS helps protect our seas and encourages fishers and fish farmers to build more sustainable seafood futures.
