摘要

At a mid-July meeting organized by Seafish in London, British television celebrity Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall faced his critics from the industry and made it clear that his Fish Fight campaign was designed to help, not hinder, the seafood sector.Fearnley-Whittingstall was a special guest at the Common Language Group industry meeting held at Fishmongers Hall, and the TV personality told the more than 40 seafood business leaders present that he indeed wants to see a thriving fishing and seafood sector - but only if the oceans are protected and fished in a responsible way."I was delighted to be invited along to this meeting with the fishing and seafood industry. I heard their concerns about the campaign, and about the positive moves being made to make fishing more sustainable, reduce discards, and improve global seafood supply chains," said Fearnley-Whittingstall.
