6th Meeting of the Seas
Tenerife | JUNE 16th - 19th 2024
The sixth edition of the Meeting of the Seas addressed the urgent need to increase fish consumption rates to reconnect humans with the ocean and help improve their physical and mental health. It also discussed how and to what extent we should protect the oceans. Three intense days of debates and different points of view, with sometimes very different positions between science and fishing, giving the congress a multifaceted view of the oceans and their future.
From Tenerife to Santa Uxía de Ribeira
The documentary 'From Tenerife to Santa Uxía de Ribeira: 945 nautical miles of collaboration', shows the trip that cooks and fishermen from Tenerife made to learn about the work they do in Galicia with artisanal fishing. The objective? To help the island's fishermen to improve their way of extracting, treating and marketing fish and also their way of relating to cooks.
