The Sustainable Fishing Model That Could Disrupt the Global Seafood Industry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2023
- Documentaries like Netflix's Seaspiracy highlight many of the destructive practices of the global fishing industry, but are there sustainable alternatives to the industrial model? In this film, Fishing for the Future, we explore an inspiring new model created by Gravity Fishing in Aotearoa New Zealand that provides a small-scale, replicable, and sustainable alternative to industrial commercial fishing.
In many countries there’s a common belief that small-scale fishing is no longer a financially viable option, but Gravity Fishing is supporting a family and employees while adhering to a deep ethical understanding of how to operate on the seas respectfully and sustainably. And now they’re rolling out a model to enable others to do the same. We’re excited to share this story of the future of fishing and we hope you’ll be as inspired by it as we are!

A wonderful story beautifully told.
There are some great things happening in NZ and fortunately, for the rest of the world, we have Happen films to show them to us.
Beautiful underwater filming 😊Many thanks and well done.
Thankyou! So glad you enjoyed it!
👍👌👏👏👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! This is exactly how it should be done and once was done all over the world (and definitely not only with fishing). Living with and from nature without damaging nature and nevertheless having food and earning money. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved life forms.
Just wanted to say we really appreciated your comment 🙏🏼
Loved it. Have pondered this issue for years. And now here's a working solution. So deeply appreciate your mahi Happen Films folk.
So glad to see Nat succeeding with his endeavours. I first came across him in a doco that I watched a few years ago and thought that his ideology was impressive. Well done for spotlighting his achievements.
He is a very inspiring human, leading the way in his field 🙏🏼
One word; Amazing! Thanks for filming this beautiful example again.
Thankyou, we so appreciate your positive feedback
Keep going!!! This is the future NOW! We are the change! Congrats!!! God Bless you!
Thankyou so much!
Great work again! What really struck a chord with me was in the beginning when he said that this new model brings four times the price. The conclusion was "so, we can harvest one fourth" (as opposed to "we can make four times as much money"). That's the new direction right there. A new story spelled downshifting. Beautiful!
Thanks Mattias! 😊
If you wanna talk sustainability put a bell collar on your cats if they're outdoors, they devastate the native bird and other small animal populations. Putting a bell on them helps warn birds.
underrated comment
Or don’t let your cat out on it’s own. I know people that walk their cats on a leash.
It’s so silly yet such a simple way to save a few birds…
I’m gonna buy little bells in bulk and put them on all the cats I meet 😅
Way to tip off the rodent population.
You know who really devastates bird populations? Windows.
@@Yomanchamcru Bird tape. Buy some put it on your windows. Also look up Tom Scott's video on how New Zealand is combating their rat problems. You don't need cats for it.
a prime example why decentralization is the future if we intend to have one. Thanks Jordan love what you are doing
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Love everything about this! Thanks for sharing this story Happen Films ❤
Thanks Lyndall!
Well done! Both the film and the fishers. I'll do what I can to make sure this gets more views.
Thank you!
Awesome! Very inspiring. Well done team 😍
Thank you Hamish!
Another amazing doco from the happen team! X ❤
Thanks so much 😄
🏐psychology, intuition, psyche..🏐
remember exhale, remember drinking water maintain healthy weights.
Great video.
honouring the gift of life !!
Amazing! thank you for doing the right thing and showing that it can be done and how to do it.
We're so glad you liked it!
Thats how sustainbility show to the others people and simple things make us still alive
This is absolutely amazing work. I am wondering if these people are working with minimum or maximum size limits? I am assuming Maximum size but I'd be interested to know.
Because there is this stupid thing we do as western people where we harvest the big fish and are forced by law to throw the little fish back. The issue is that it isn't taking the full ecological context into account at all.
Fish lay eggs to reproduce. And not just fish but crustaceans, squid and shellfish too. Small fish might only produce a small amount of eggs, but the oldest fish will produce millions upon millions of eggs. Taking out only the big fish is therefore robbing the ecosystem of the 'breeding population'.
Its akin to cutting down a lemontree to harvest your lemons. You can only do that so many times before you start running out of lemons.
It also puts a selection pressure on the species for becoming smaller in size in general. If you get to stay alive and thus breed for longer if you are a small fish, then small fish tend to be more successful in the ecosystem. We are effectively breeding ourselves smaller and smaller fish.
Check out the wikipedia page for Minimum Landing Size.
Yes amazing! Thank you.
Oh you guys! Another important story, so beautifully told. Well done! x
Thanks Meg! Xx
Aquaponics is another major 🔑
What a great idea! Glad to hear they were able to get the financial means to make it a reality :)
Yes! Us too
Super
I enjoyed this. It is a great way to stop so much fish waste but I still struggle with eating an animal. I still feel bad about it. I'm not having a go at people who do but it's just how I feel.
Glad you enjoyed the film even though it’s not something you’d personally do 🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm surprised that you promote this.
If you love the environment ,please try not to use machine boat and oil driven vehicles. That can damage to clean water. Learn how to fish with traditional ways from Maoi.
There is no such thing as sustainable fishing with billions of humans eating fish.
