NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2021 23 N orwegian Seafood Council made a statement about Netflix's oceans documentary. “It is just a shame the programme’s “solution” to save our oceans is to give up seafood all together. That is the last thing we should do – the world needs more food from the ocean, not less,” says Renate Larsen, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council. “The public outcry caused by the documentary is very understandable. Many of the issues high- lighted in the documentary are totally unacceptable and requires debate and devoted focus by leaders at the highest level. Unfortunately, the programme uses outdated facts and paints a one-sided picture of an incredibly diverse industry where there are both good and bad players,” says Larsen. “We agree wholeheartedly with the documentary makers in that we must show great respect for the oceans and its fish stocks. It is very much in line with Norwegian practices where our fisheries and aquaculture are based on world-class independent scientific advice allowing for responsible harvest- ing,” says Larsen.
