Off to Marseille, where we meet up with Marine Fidelle, aquaculture manager for Ecocean who manages the CascioMar project. This project is involved with the ecological restoration of the Mediterranean Sea by helping repopulate the species that are fished.
The fishermen accompanied by Ecocean are able to continue their activity in a sea with a fish population whose renewal is no longer threatened. We take a closer look in our feature “Protecting the planet one step at a time” with Energy Observer Solutions.
Rearing juvenile fish, in complete safety, before releasing them into the sea. Such is the solution put forward by CascioMar in a bid to replenish the lost biodiversity in a Mediterranean threatened by pollution and overfishing.
The planet is experiencing its sixth mass extinction in terms of its biodiversity. This disaster is directly related to human activity. This has a particularly heavy impact on the oceans, and human activity and pollution pose multiple threats to the marine environment: areas deprived of oxygen are becoming more widespread, the temperature of the surface water is increasing and the seas are becoming increasingly acidic. According to the WWF, marine fauna has halved in number since 1970.
