Here's why seabass farming is a problem:
➡️ Farmed seabass consumes huge amounts of wild fish as feed
➡️ Diverts food from communities who rely on fish for nutrition & income
➡️ Destroys vital marine ecosystems like seagrass meadows
➡️ Propped up by EU funding despite local resistance

Seabass & seabream farming in the Mediterranean relies on a global chain of exploitation.
Each year, millions of wild fish are caught off the coasts of West Africa, ground into fishmeal and oil, and shipped to intensive farms in the Mediterranean to feed carnivorous fish like seabass & bream. (2/5)

Seabass and seabream farming in the Mediterranean is often marketed as ‘sustainable’. But the truth is — it’s harming oceans, robbing communities, and threatening food security across the world.
