  • Beach moments from #Ecuador. A story for @wwf_austria and #fishforwardeu. (Advertisement)
 While I enjoyed the last rays of sun hitting the Pacific Ocean a fight is happening not far from here. The fishermen fight to provide their families with food and income. They have to go further and further away from the coast to be able to catch something. And very often they don't catch what they have been searching for, but create a lot of so called “by-catch”. This is the involuntary trapping of other marine animals - like dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and many baby fish. Many of them die in the process. Some are even sold illegally on the black market. If we buy fish & seafood from sustainable and responsible sources we not only avoid by-catch, but also support over 800 million people worldwide living from fish in some way. #wwf Anzeige / Werbung
  • On the way to the fish market in Puerto Lopéz. A story for @wwf_austria and #fishforwardeu. (Advertisement)
 At this local fish market we made an unfortunate encounter. The swordfish wasn’t the only fish delivered here, but also some illegally killed hammerhead sharks. Fishing and selling sharks is strictly forbidden, but the fishermen at this local market either didn’t know (which is unrealistic) or simply couldn’t afford to not sell them. Their financial situation is the key ingredient to protecting the wildlife and endangered animals. So buying sustainably produced fish doesn’t only support our oceans (and your personal health!), but also the fishermen’s lives. Their income can also rise when products are sold a little more expensively. And I’m sure we can afford a few cents here and there to make responsible choices when buying groceries. Make sure to also check the fish guide by @wwf_austria - a great source of information about sustainable fish and seafood. #wwf Anzeige / Werbung
  • Bird couples from the Galápagos Islands. A story for @wwf_austria and #fishforwardeu. (Advertisement) These birds are the visible part of the abundant wildlife at the Galápagos Islands in #Ecuador. The invisible part lies beneath the ocean's surface. The Galápagos Islands are protected by a natural protection zone. Here fishing isn't allowed for any industrial ships - only artisanal techniques are legal. And as soon as you dip your head in the ocean you'll notice the effects. Here you can spot sharks, rays and sea turtles everywhere. Something that is not possible in many parts of our oceans anymore. With our conscious fish & seafood consumption we can participate in the protection of our oceans and everything that is connected to it's prosperity. #wwf Anzeige / Werbung
  • Beaches, the gateway to the ocean. A story for @wwf_austria and #fishforwardeu. (Advertisement) Our oceans are slowly loosing their abundance of life. #Overfishing is invisible to most of us. Only the fishermen know to tell the stories of the loss of the oceans. While plastic pollution is a very visible problem, it’s not the biggest issue our oceans are facing. Plastic pollution kills 1 million marine animals every year. But fishing kills over 1 trillion marine animals in the same period. (Yes, that's 6 zeros more!). And that's not only fish & seafood, but also dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and baby fish. Animals we don’t even eat, but maybe simply throw away. Together with @wwf_austria the EU wants to raise awareness for sustainable fish & seafood consumption. As consumers we can choose to eat less or no fish and if we do we should source it sustainably. In my Story Highlight #fishforward you can find tips on how to check what kind of fish & seafood is sustainable and how to shop responsibly. #wwf • Anzeige / Werbung
  • Hola #Ecuador! Assigned by @wwf_austria. (Advertisement). If you’ve been following my stories lately you already know that I’ve been traveling the wonderful coastal areas of Ecuador for the last two weeks. @wwf_austria has assigned me to cover their project #fishforwardeu. This EU funded project is all about promoting sustainable fish consumption and it’s impact on the environment & the people. As a vegetarian myself it’s been quite a challenge to learn, see (and smell!) how fish is produced here in Ecuador. No matter if it’s small scale fisheries or industrial sized production - all come with their specific challenges and issues. In the next few days I’ll show you some results of my work here! You can also check my story highlight #fishforward to get more infos on sustainable fish and seafood choices. #wwf • Anzeige / Werbung
  • A final series from #Morocco. Before I start posting my photos from my time here in Ecuador I wanted to share a last couple of shots from the moody day in the Moroccan desert. We were prepared for rain that day, but before it hit us we got to enjoy the colors of the stone desert glooming in the last rays of sunshine until the pitch black clouds started to roll in. Unfortunately we were evacuated a little later, I would’ve loved to stay in the desert camp and witness the rain there - but sometimes safety comes first 🤷🏻‍♀️☺️
