Seaspiracy on Netflix

If you have not watch Seaspiracy, you should. Although the essence of this shocking documentary highlights the impossible, that we will never be able to halt the massive impact of commercial fishing in our oceans, there is a small part of this latest Netflix documentary that touches on freshwater fish farming.  Unfortunately, large scale commercial fish farms, are tipping the balance in the natural freshwater locations and the negative effects are becoming visible.

What is the solution? Small scale Aquaponic farms, and lots of them.

Why would this be any different? Well, it must, there is no choice. The Recirculating Aquaponic System, known as RAS, requires a delicate balanced symbiotic relationship between fish and plant. Too many fish, and the plants suffer, too little plants, and fish suffer. It is a closed loop system, and there is no chance of effecting our water sources, dams, and nature.

I found an interesting blog written by Amy Novogratz on the Netflix Seaspiracy documentary where Amy highlights the missed opportunity of the documentary. We share the same view and unlike Richard Attenborough’s documentary, “A Life on Our Planet”, Seaspiracy does not mention the possible solutions on how we could go about changing the situation. In Amy’s blog, she highlights a few initiatives been carried out by companies that are making change. We need many more, and why we will continue to keep on doing what we do and find a way to help our planet. 

Our fresh trout, taste amazing, and more and more customers can’t get enough, thats why we are looking to double our tanks and trout quantities.
