“…The top main species of seafood consumed are salmon, haddock, cod, shrimp and tuna, of which around 60-80% is sourced from outside the UK. Consumer resistance to eating more types of seafood will require targeted education campaigns, and exposure to alternatives to persuade, for example, young people to be more adventurous and experimental in their diets, with shellfish being one of the species types less consumed by this cohort (Jones & Chikwama, 2021). Improving understanding around price and sustainability of seafood for consumers with point-of-sale information regarding sustainable seafood, or tools such as eco-labels and dietary guidelines (for example, exhorting the benefits of Mediterranean seafood diets), may also help shift preferences (Kelling & Lawan, 2023).…”

Seafood is a crucial component of global food systems and plays a vital role in healthy diets and future food security, providing essential omega-3 fatty acids and micronutrients as well as incomes and livelihoods to millions of people. However, the seafood supply system is facing multiple contemporary global challenges that threaten its resilience as well as food security, livelihoods and ecological wellbeing. This opinion piece discusses the drivers of transformative change impacting seafood supply chains, with a particular focus on the UK, but the strategies described can be applied to many similarly developed countries. To address the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, escalating energy costs, climate change, risk management processes, and to ensure food security and resilience, active policy interventions are needed. Three key policy actions that policymakers can focus on are (i) sustainable seafood models, such as regenerative seafood systems and the circular economy, to improve both environmental and human health outcomes and the likelihood of meeting Sustainable Development Goals; (ii) promote local seafood as part of national food security to strengthen supply chains, support local communities, and enhance traceability and transparency; and, (iii) promote diversification in seafood sourcing and distribution to reduce pressure on critical stocks and increase the flexibility of food systems, while ensuring social and ecological protection. Building a more resilient and sustainable food system requires a holistic and integrated approach, alongside proactive collaboration, to address the multiple, complex, and long-term challenges facing the wider food system.

“…This is of particular interest in environmental mediation through art, in order, for example, to take into account the previous nature experience of the target audience, and therefore the expected responsiveness [ 19 ], to adapt the artistic media used. Among the various ways of experiencing aquatic nature, food occupies an important place [ 20 ], as it represents the main regular contact with marine and freshwater fauna. It is thus relevant to question the perception of aquatic fauna as food in artistic and environmental mediation contexts, especially since overfishing represents one of the main concerns regarding aquatic biodiversity conservation [ 21 ].…”

Art is a promising pathway to raise emotional engagement with nature, while enabling an indirect exposure to nature through aesthetic experience. However, the precise relationships between aesthetic experiences of art and experiences of nature remain unclear. The aim of this observational study is to highlight the effect of nature experiences on the aesthetic reception art, based on Early Modern paintings (16th-18th century). By focusing on marine ecosystems, that are difficult to directly interact with, the results presented are intended to explore whether marine activities and fish consumption affect the aesthetic reception of artworks depicting marine biodiversity. A photo-questionnaire survey based on four paintings has been conducted with 332 French participants with a diverse range of marine practices, fish consumption and artistic sensitivity. Fish consumption and value attributed to fish as food had a significant positive impact on the aesthetic reception, suggesting that taste and food consumption could be considered as a relevant nature aesthetic experience that elicits affective and emotional responses. Results also showed an indirect effect of fishing and diving on the aesthetic reception of paintings whose iconography relates with the observers’ experiences. These findings are of particular interest in both environmental psychology and ecological mediation through art. This study brings evidences of the connection between art and nature experiences, and that art could be an innovative way of experiencing nature. Finally, this study also highlights the need to broaden the scope of nature experiences, for instance by including food.
