The fishing sector fight against the marine phosphate mine

The Confederation of Fishing Associations in Namibia (NCFA) has expressed its concern about the big impact the phosphate mine could have on the environment. This plan, once in operation, could extract about 5 million tons of phosphate per year from the seabed of Walvis Bay.  

This plan will have a huge brunt on the marine life around the coast and can also affect Namibia's largest contributor.  The possible consequences this could lead to are; the destruction of the natural habitat of fish, harming the food chain routine, the release of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) into the water, the removal of feeding grounds and typical spawns.  These aspects will have a bad effect on the fishing sector and also harming various marine species.

“The NCFA consider the mining license as a serious threat for their industry”, stated Mr Bernhard Esau Minister of the Fisheries and Marine Resources. Mr Esau also highlighted that he has been engaging the related ministries in analyzing the environmental shock Assessment study which will be completed in a delay of 6 months.

Fish – An online calculator for seafood lovers

We had heard from many experts that seafood is good for health and we need to consume it more often.  A new website is here to help figure out how much fish we need to eat.  It’s quite simple to use as you just need to enter the amount of serving you want to have, your weight and the type of fish you prefer. The results are specific with the right amount of nutritious value. The calculator also advises you on how many servings you will need to eat in a week so as not to consume too much mercury.

The website is quite limited in terms of information display and the quantity of fish offered. There are only 25 kinds of fishes displayed and all of them are very popular seafood in America.   It gives you a list of fishes named as “good choice” which includes tilapia and farmed seafood.  The best seafood is the one good for our health, nutritious and which is less in mercury. The website, HowMuchFish.com is a useful tool for seafood lovers but it provides limited information.  It can be used as a tool but it is not totally reliable.
