IN BRIEF - World Champion Diver Urges France: Ban Bottom Trawling in Gulf of Lion Amid UN Ocean Conference

FRANCE
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

Alessia Zecchini and MedReAct call for full protection, contrasting France's stance with UK's ban, as host nation for global ocean talks faces criticism for lagging.

NICE – As the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) unfolds in Nice, world champion freediver Alessia Zecchini joined forces with environmental group MedReAct to deliver a powerful message to French President Emmanuel Macron: ban bottom trawling in the Gulf of Lion Fisheries Restricted Area (FRA). The call comes as France faces scrutiny for its ocean protection efforts, particularly when compared to recent actions by other nations.

France has drawn criticism for its perceived inaction on this issue, failing to implement full bans on destructive bottom trawling in its so-called "protected" marine areas. While France recently announced intentions to "limit" the practice and protect 4% of its metropolitan waters, campaigners assert that only a complete prohibition will deliver genuine protection. This contrasts sharply with the UK's recent decision to ban bottom trawling entirely in its protected areas.

To amplify their demand, Zecchini undertook a symbolic freedive with MedReAct in the Mediterranean. "Words alone are not enough, they need actions," stated a joint message from the group to President Macron.


IN BRIEF - Nissui to Raise Frozen Food Prices Amidst Global Inflationary Pressures

JAPAN
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

The Japanese seafood giant will increase shipping prices by 3-12% for 24 home-use frozen food items, effective September 1, 2025, citing rising costs across the supply chain.

TOKYO – Nissui Co., Ltd., a leading global seafood company, has announced it will revise the shipping prices for a range of its frozen food products, effective September 1, 2025. The decision comes as a direct consequence of persistent international inflation, driving up various operational expenses.

The company, led by Representative Director, President, and CEO Teru Tanaka, stated it has faced continuous increases in raw material costs, domestic and overseas labor expenses, fuel, packaging materials, and logistics. Despite significant efforts to absorb these rising costs, Nissui concluded that it's no longer feasible to maintain current quality and prices. The move is necessary to ensure the steady delivery of its products.

The price revisions will affect 24 frozen food items for home use, including popular categories such as bento side dishes, rice dishes, noodles, snacks, and frozen vegetables. Consumers can expect to see price increases ranging from approximately 3% to 12%. Nissui noted that all listed prices are open prices, and some products might see revision rates outside this range or include specification changes.

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

The Court of Justice of the European Union is expected to rule on a measure that the shipowners and the Spanish government have challenged as arbitrary, disproportionate, and scientifically biased.
 
About two and a half years after the Burela Fisheries Producers Organization formally filed its complaint in Brussels against the 87 closed areas on bottom fishing imposed by the EU through an implementing regulation of the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is expected to publish its ruling this Wednesday.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: UK seafood performed solidly in 2024 - and there are more opportunities out there, says Seafish

UNITED KINGDOM
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

The UK’s seafood trade with the rest of the world is outpacing broader UK imports and exports, but concerns exist around proposed US tariffs and a challenging global landscape.

Those are among the findings of the 2024 UK Seafood Trade report, published yesterday.

The report offers an overview of UK seafood import and export trade, highlighting trends and examining the influence of national, international, and global events on markets.

It shows that seafood performed better than total UK goods trade, showing growth in 2024, as export value increased 13.0% to £2.0bn and import value increased 1.6% to £3.8bn. This was driven largely by strong performance in salmon and mackerel exports to key markets like the EU, US, and China.
