While perusing through the multitude of booths at the Seafood Expo North America, you can learn about lots of intriguing seafood issues, though you might not have the time to fully follow up on them at the time. You only have 3 days at the Expo and that time will seem to fly rather quickly. As such, I wanted to shine a little attention on a small assortment of items I gleamed from the Expo, which I may follow up on more in the future.
1. Slavery in Thailand?
Not much was said at the Expo concerning the plight of workers in the Thai seafood industry. TheEnvironmental Justice Foundation published a series of reports showing that immigrant workers may be being forced to work on fishing boats in Thailand. They may receive little, if any money, and may also be beaten and starved. Thailand states they have enacted some new practices to try to prevent this practice. Part of sustainability is social responsibility and terrible injustices such as this need to be ended. Let us hope Thailand puts an end to this tragedy.
2. Fish Pins
Every year at the Expo, the Wildlife Collection displays and sells their collection of pins, keychains and tie tacs. They have hundreds of designs and can custom order too. Obviously at the Expo, they show lots of their fish related items, and I think they are very cool items. They have a great diversity of designs, just about any type of fish or marine creature you might want. I don't think they get enough attention in stories about the Expo so I wanted to highlight them.
