Projectos para o mar responsáveis por 40% de retorno do programa GMES

pongpesca — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:07:10 +0000

“A área marinha é responsável pela maior parte do retorno do investimento conseguido por Portugal através do programa europeu de Observação da Terra (GMES), segundo avançou hoje um responsável da iniciativa. Mário Caetano, delegado de Portugal no GMES, da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA), disse à Lusa que este 40 por cento do retorno do investimento português se refere a um valor “talvez um pouco proporcional à dimensão da água em relação à terra no país”.”

“Might a penguin’s next meal be affected by the exhaust from your tailpipe? The answer may be yes, when you add your exhaust fumes to the total amount of carbon dioxide lofted into the atmosphere by humans since the industrial revolution. One-third of that carbon dioxide is absorbed by the world’s oceans, making them more acidic and affecting marine life.”

Pirate Fishing

pongpesca — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:31:56 +0000

“The precious marine resources of some of the world’s poorest people are being targeted by industrial-scale pirate fishing operations, to feed the seafood hungry markets of Europe and Asia.

The problem is particularly acute in West African waters where fish is a vital – and often the only – protein source for millions of people.

In a special two-part investigation, People & Power sets out to identify and expose some of those involved in the multi-million dollar trade and to look in particular at its consequences for the impoverished West African nation of Sierra Leone.

In this film – part one of Pirate Fishing – reporter Juliana Ruhfus and producer Orlando von Einsiedel take to the seas off Sierra Leone with an NGO, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), which has been trying to raise awareness about the issue.”

Sandgrains Production Newsletter #2

pongpesca — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:42:07 +0000

Dear friends! Here we are with an update on what we’ve been up since the last newsletter.

During the last week and a half we have been shooting intensely to make the most of our time with Zé here in Cape Verde.

Among the first things we did was to organise a screening in Carlita’s bar by Ribeira da Barca’s Esplanada, attended by a big crowd and some of Zé’s extended family. We showed the Sandgrains trailer and a clip of Zé playing football in the Swedish League at the peak of his career, which were warmly applauded by the audience. Afterwards everyone came to shake our hands, and to thank us for the work we are doing in Cape Verde. Being so well received by the audience in Ribeira da Barca was a deeply emotional moment for us, and we would not have experienced it without the support from all of you who made production here in Cape Verde possible!

Some days later we went fishing in a small wooden boat with Zé’s relatives Nelson and Zé Antonio. They told us about the hardships and the constant struggles Cape Verdean fishermen face on a daily basis. They spoke about the dwindling fish stocks and the lack of help from the Government.

Já who gathers sand spoke of why she does a job that she clearly would wish to avoid but that she has little choice if she is to feed her daughter Jussini. A few days later we met the farmer Ima, who irately spoke of how his crops are failing. The salt water seeps into the farm lands behind Charco beach, where Já gathers the sand which used to function as a natural filter, and barrier against the sea.

Tatá, Lalá and Tuia, who are the old matriarchs of the Fortes family, spoke of how fish used to be abundant and how their grandchildren must struggle to feed their families nowadays. Tuia, who is Zé’s mother, complained that the fish caught are too small and would have been discarded in the olden days.

On a hot Sunday afternoon Zé took us on a boat trip to the beautiful beach of Ribeira das Prata, because he wanted to show us what Charco used to look like in his childhood. We filmed him playing football on the sand dunes, just as he used to when a boy in Ribeira da Barca.

In the evenings after production we edited a little video clip to show you what goes on behind the camera, featuring Francesca happily showing her Cape Verdean visa at Gatwick Airport, as well as Mirco and Zé surfing our boat on the way to the beach of Ribeira das Prata while Gabriel nervously hugs his camera bag while massive waves pound our boat. We’ll be putting together more backstage videos so keep following us for the coming newsletter updates!

Hugs from Cape Verde!

Largest bird alters its foraging due to climate change

pongpesca — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:39:19 +0000

“Wandering albatrosses have altered their foraging due to changes in wind fields in the southern hemisphere during the last decades. Since winds have increased in intensity and moved to the south, the flight speed of albatrosses increased and they spend less time foraging. As a consequence, breeding success has improved and birds have gained 1 kilogram.”

Interested applicants (aged 30 years or younger on 1 January 2012) can obtain more information and an application form from www.peterhowgateaward.com

The award was launched last year in honour of Peter Howgate who, for 35 years worked at the Torry Research Station, Aberdeen, a UK government institute specialising in research and development in fish processing and handling. Peter has made a massive and ongoing contribution to our understanding of fish technology, particularly in the field of sensory evaluation of fish quality, and he continues to contribute widely, including frequent, erudite and immensely well researched contributions to the Seafood HACCP discussion list at seafood@UCDavis.edu.

The 2011 winner of the Award was Ms. Clara Bah, a researcher at the Department of Food Science, University of Otago in New Zealand. The prize of EUR500 helped Clara to attend the New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology (NZIFST) conference in Rotorua, New Zealand at the end of June 2011, at which she presented her MSc research findings on the bioactivity of fish roes from five commercial New Zealand fish species. She hopes her paper will help to publicise how the extraction of useful bioactive compounds from parts of fish which are often discarded can help to improve the commercial value of fishery products.

Applications for the award should be submitted by the end of April 2012.

Walking Fish: a community supported fishery

pongpesca — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:53:49 +0000

Walking Fish is a community supported fishery (CSF) that links fishermen on the coast of North Carolina to consumers in the Triangle.

A community supported fishery (CSF) is based on the community supported agriculture (CSA) model. A CSF involves pre-payment by consumers for a ‘share’ of fresh, locally harvested seafood (i.e., a set amount of seafood generally picked up by the consumer on a weekly or bi-weekly basis). Just as CSAs can encourage sustainable and profitable farming practices, CSFs have the potential to do the same for fishing.
