# Garbage Seafood Shock Visuals For Clean Seas By Bianca | Published 2008-04-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garbage-seafood-clean-sea References: [adblogarabia](http://www.adblogarabia.com/what-goes-around-comes-around-keep-the-sea-clean/) As a seafood lover, these ads really spoke to me. The photography is exceptional, and at a glance, one might not notice the horrors hidden within each image. A closer look shows that the sushi is not wrapped in seaweed, but in plastic bags. The fish isn't covered in a delicious balsamic glaze, but in disgustingly thick stripes of crude oil. Mussels are a delicious meal, but when there are rusty bottle caps scattered between the shells, it's no longer appealing, but appalling. Is this really what you want to be eating? If we continue to act unconsciously and don't start taking care of our earth, which includes our nurturing water bodies, then this will be our reality. With Earth Day coming up, now is a good time to reflect on what we're doing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Plastic-free Seafood:** Opportunity for sustainable seafood companies to capitalize on the growing consumer demand for plastic-free packaging. - **Ocean Conservation Awareness:** Artistic and visually striking campaigns can raise awareness about the impact of pollution on marine life and encourage consumers to take action. - **Sustainable Food Practices:** Increasing focus on sustainable fishing techniques and responsible sourcing can drive innovation in the seafood industry. ### Where This Applies - **Sustainable Packaging:** Brands specializing in eco-friendly packaging solutions can help seafood companies transition to plastic-free alternatives. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Marketing agencies can create visually impactful campaigns to raise awareness about ocean conservation issues for seafood brands. - **Aquaculture and Fishing:** Companies in aquaculture and fishing can explore sustainable practices and responsible sourcing to address consumer concerns about seafood quality and environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable QSR Litter Adverts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-malta.md) - [Gourmet Tinned Seafood Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siesta-co.md) - [Quirky Plant-Based Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-food.md) - [Unusual Food Waste Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-waste-campaigns.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Nature-Connected Lifestyle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-wild.md) - [Pollution-Removing Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-campaign-sucks.md) - [Groundbreaking Seafood Sub-Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-seafood-co.md) - [Seaweed-Based Takeout Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-takeaway.md)
