Introducing ASC and the World of Fish Farming
In the first episode of Gossip Gills, hosts Genevieve and Lucas delve into the world of fish farming, discussing its significance in the seafood industry, its environmental and social impacts and the role of ASC.

From tackling environmental challenges and addressing human rights issues to reshaping public perception, we’re cutting through the noise and covering topics that accelerate progress toward more sustainable seafood for everyone.
