Land-Farmed Fish: Stopping the Expansion of Intensive Land-Based Salmon Farming
A new report co-produced by Seastemik and Foodrise raises the alarm on the dangers of expanding land-based intensive salmon farming. For the first time, an international coalition is mobilising against these facilities — as the public inquiry for Pure Salmon at Le Verdon-sur-Mer (Gironde) opens on 15 December 2025. Among the organisations denouncing land-based intensive salmon farms: Greenpeace France and Africa, Sea Shepherd France, Animal Equality UK, Bob Brown Foundation (Australia), and the Association of Women for the Promotion of Fishery Products and Environmental Protection (Mauritania). This unprecedented mobilisation demonstrates the urgency of stopping an industry that threatens ecosystems and local communities.

Call for a Moratorium on Salmon Factory Farms in France
Salmon farming is an ecological and social time bomb. A wild species nearly extinct in the Atlantic, now mass-farmed in factory conditions. France is Europe's largest salmon consumer and the fourth largest in the world, with demand up 30% in 15 years and 99% of supply imported.
