January 22, 2024

Hello aquatic Greenpointers!

At Jubilee Marketplace, we're excited to introduce our sustainable fishery initiative, a pivotal step toward environmental responsibility and providing our customers with the highest quality seafood. As a renowned supermarket and fish market in the Greenpoint, Brooklyn, we understand the importance of sustainable practices in preserving our oceans for future generations.  When you search for 'sustainable fishery near me,' we're proud to be your local choice, providing an array of seafood that's not just delicious, but also environmentally responsible. Here's a deeper dive into why sustainable fishery matters and how we're contributing to this vital cause.

When will fish go extinct? "The world's oceans could virtually be emptied for fish by 2048. A study shows that if nothing changes, we will run out of seafood for normal consumption in 2048. If we want to preserve the ecosystems of the sea, change is needed."

The Essence of Sustainable Fishery; A Commitment to Tomorrow

Sustainable fishery is about much more than just fishing; it's a comprehensive approach to managing and harvesting seafood that respects and preserves the aquatic ecosystem. This practice ensures that fish stocks are maintained at healthy levels, critical habitats are protected, and fishing methods are environmentally friendly.

Why Sustainable Fishery Matters; Securing Our Marine Future

  1. Environmental Balance: Overfishing disrupts the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Sustainable fishing practices help maintain this balance, ensuring the longevity of diverse marine species.

  2. Economic Stability: Fishing communities depend on abundant fish stocks for their livelihood. Sustainable practices guarantee a steady, long-term supply of seafood, supporting the economic stability of these communities.

  3. Food Security: As the global population grows, so does the demand for protein-rich food like fish. Sustainable fishery ensures that we can meet today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.

  4. Biodiversity Protection: Sustainable fishing helps protect a wide range of species, contributing to biodiversity conservation, which is vital for ecological health.

At Jubilee Marketplace, we source our fish from responsible suppliers who adhere strictly to sustainable fishing practices. While our seafood may not come directly from Greenpoint, we ensure it's sourced from fisheries that prioritize the health of the ocean and its inhabitants. Every purchase you make at our grocery and fish market supports this initiative and contributes to a healthier planet.
