Our groundbreaking initiative with FAI has positively impacted the lives of ✨over 260 million individual fishes✨, representing a significant advancement in the welfare of farmed Nile tilapia in Egypt.
My forefathers are from the Egyptian Nile Delta, an area that would have been a total desert had it not been for the River Nile. Thanks to abundant freshwater resources coming from the subtropical parts of Africa, a thriving civilisation has flourished in this area for thousands of years. The Nile flows through the entire country running from south to north before spilling into the Mediterranean Sea. My Middle Eastern heritage means that I have always understood water scarcity and have therefore deeply appreciated the importance of water resources.
Zanzibar, a picturesque archipelago in the Western Indian Ocean, is keen to become a leader in the Blue Economy. In line with this vision, and under the aquaculture pillar of the Blue Economy framework, Ethical Seafood Research was retained by the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries to develop a sustainable and ethical aquaculture strategy in close consultation with local stakeholders.
We’re proud to share that over 120 professionals working in Egypt’s burgeoning aquaculture sector have successfully completed the FAI Academy training on tilapia welfare
