“I want to ensure our domestic seafood sector thrives in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. By increasing opportunities in our wild-caught domestic fisheries and expanding seafood farming operations, we can get more American seafood on American plates.” @NOAA
American fishermen, seafood farmers, and other seafood industry members play an essential role in feeding our nation, strengthening local economies, and sustaining our working waterfronts.

It reflects our national heritage, community strength, and food security. I want to ensure our domestic seafood sector thrives in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

New scientific dietary recommendations from Ireland’s @FSAIinfo recommend including oily #fish once a week in adolescents’ diets, helping improve intake of the important omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

AECOM's independent Communities Report explores how salmon farming supports people and places across rural, coastal and island Scotland.
Five community case studies from #Shetland, #Orkney, the #OuterHebrides, the #InnerHebrides and the #Highlands highlight local experiences and impacts.
💼 Around 2,460 direct jobs are supported by the sector across Scotland.
👥 350+ people were recruited locally by salmon farmers in 2025.
🎓 139 apprenticeships were delivered in 2025, helping create opportunities for the next generation.
🏠 120+ homes are provided by salmon farmers to support workers in remote and island communities.
🤝 Every responding salmon farmer operates a community benefit fund, supporting local projects, events, schools and community groups.
🌊 100+ beach cleans were supported by salmon farmers in 2025, covering more than 80 miles of coastline.
The case studies show that the benefits of salmon farming extend beyond the farm gate, helping to support vibrant and resilient communities across Scotland's coastlines and islands.

Scrutiny matters. So does transparency.
@tavishscott explains why organisations seeking to influence the sector should be open about who funds their campaigns and what that funding supports.

Calling Fed-regulated farms "toxic" borders on libel, MP May. Such subjective & irresponsible comments run counter to the science-based approach the Green Party claims to follow. You know full well that you have no open-net farms in your riding. Do better for British Columbians.
My family buys a whole salmon every month and enjoy amazing, healthy meals and now it’s much cheaper than “farmed beef.”
It’s #WorldSalmonDay!
Why not serve up fabulous and tasty farm-raised #Canadian seafood this #Thanksgiving?

Myth: remove salmon farms and sea lice disappear. Monitoring in the BC Discovery Islands & Broughton shows lice persist on wild juvenile salmon after farm removal. Via @bcsalmonfarmers: bcsalmonfarmers.ca/news/no-s…

The idealogue activists are unrelenting and so out of touch with reality. Farming fish is good and necessary for a sustainable seafood supply. It can be done right. Where is the reasonable dialogue? #aquaculture #salmon
@BBCRadioScot visited #Shetland as it covered on a campaign against farm-raised salmon. The report gave the sector and the supermarket, M&S, the opportunity to respond directly to the claims being made about our sector.

Ever wondered what it looks like inside a #Scottishsalmon pen?
This clip was taken earlier this year at a Scottish salmon pen. It illustrates how clean and ideal our pens are for faming #salmon.

Seems like a no-brainer. Good for the conservation of ocean resources as well. #aquaculture #salmon
