While fish-influenced environmental innovations might not seem like the easiest branding strategy, everything fishy can have a very cool angle. Together, what these social enterprises and environmental businesses say is: let's take care of our oceans and its wildlife.
From reclaimed rooftop farms using fish waste to vegan leather-like watch straps and ethical sashimi restaurants based in Vancouver, Canada, there is lots to learn about. And reading about these fish-influenced environmental innovations will go along swimmingly (ahem, pun intended) with your cup of fair trade coffee. While eating fish is often seen as the safer alternative to meat, overfishing and high mercury levels proves that it won't be long before fish is on everyone's agenda. As a matter of fact, it should be already.
