Zero-waste Hong Kong grocery store Slowood decided to take its dedication to sustainability to the next level. Inspired by the new Netflix documentary
Seaspiracy, which is centered around the fishing industry, the grocer announced that it would no longer be selling fish. The Netflix documentary fixates on the fishing industry’s direct environmental impact, showcasing the damages to the planet.
“Netflix’s new documentary @Seaspiracy has opened our eyes to the overwhelming and damaging effects the fishing industry has on our whole ecosystem. I bet you will stop eating fish after watching this movie,” the grocery store wrote on its Facebook. “Slowood will take a step forward and STOP SELLING FISH. In the meantime, while stock lasts, we will donate a portion of profits to @Seashepherd.”

Trinidad and Tobago is home to 987 species of fish, 60 of which are caught for commercial use. There are about 65 fishing sites in Trinidad and 32 in Tobago.
In 2019, TT had 102 large-scale fishing vessels and 2,525 small-scale fishing vessels, with an associated 5,050 fishers.
But let’s be honest, has anyone ever seen a happy fisherman? One with no issues or problems, especially when it comes to money?
If your answer is no, it could be because fishermen in TT have, for years, faced issues which negatively affected their ability to supply fish and garner income to feed and support themselves and their own families.

An opportunity whose time has come: Regional domination in the Dredging Industry

Historically, a few very large European companies have dominated the global dredging industry. Now a new challenge to the European domination has emerged from China. A Chinese Dredging Company, namely, China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) has been very active in Africa and Asia.
However, it falls into a category of its own, where state support is quite apparent. There are a few other notable regional dredging companies like the National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC) of Abu Dhabi and Penta–Ocean of Japan.
