In addition, the NGO has presented its own roadmap: a document identifying the areas to be protected and presenting to the deputies an initial proposal for the designation of new strict protection areas and the expansion of existing ones, prioritizing the most vulnerable ecosystems in the Mediterranean. Thus, the identified areas are mainly located in the waters of Andalusia, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, and the Region of Murcia.

IN BRIEF - Microsoft Joins NOAA Project to Use AI for Mapping Salmon Habitat in Columbia River Basin

UNITED STATES
Tuesday, May 06, 2025

Microsoft Corp. has teamed up with NOAA Fisheries to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model that forecasts how changes in river flows affect salmon habitat in the Columbia River Basin.

The two-year collaboration, led by Morgan Bond of NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center, aims to modernize habitat assessment using satellite imagery and cloud computing.

As part of its AI for Good Lab, Microsoft is providing $5 million in Azure cloud credits and technical support to analyze high-resolution imagery. This approach replaces traditional field-based studies, enabling faster, more cost-effective evaluations across a much larger scale.

The AI model will help fisheries managers see in near real-time how water flow variations alter available salmon habitat. A key goal is to assess the actual impact of restoration efforts, such as securing water rights, by predicting how much habitat is gained per investment.

“This tool helps us identify where small changes in flow could make a big difference,” Bond said. “It’s about maximizing restoration outcomes.”

Microsoft’s Chief Data Scientist Juan Lavista Ferres noted the broader significance: “Protecting wild salmon runs is vital to the region. Our technology can help NOAA better understand water dynamics and support sustainable fish populations.”

The project represents a major step in aligning cutting-edge tech with ecosystem recovery, providing actionable insights to improve salmon restoration strategies throughout the basin.


IN BRIEF - Korea Transitions to E-Cert for Seafood Imports from Peru

SOUTH KOREA
Tuesday, May 06, 2025

South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) has announced the full implementation of an Electronic Sanitary Certification (E-Cert) system for seafood imports originating from Peru, marking a significant step toward digitalizing import health documentation.

Effective for shipments departing on or after May 1, 2025, the transition from paper-based to electronic certification follows the completion of a pilot program and aligns with Korea’s broader strategy to adopt blockchain-enabled systems for enhanced traceability, document integrity, and streamlined import procedures.

Key Implementation Details:

  • Scope: All seafood products imported from Peru
  • Effective Date: May 1, 2025 (date of shipment departure)
  • Change: Importers must now input a unique electronic certificate number in place of paper documentation

An MFDS spokesperson highlighted the expected benefits: “This transition will significantly enhance the efficiency, transparency, and safety of Korea’s seafood import controls. Close collaboration with importers and competent authorities in exporting countries will be critical to a smooth rollout.”

Despite a 53% year-on-year decrease in imports from Peru in the first four months of 2025 (4,992 metric tons vs. 10,867 tons in 2024), the country remains Korea’s ninth-largest seafood supplier by volume during that period.

The move is part of Korea’s ongoing efforts to modernize its food safety and logistics infrastructure

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Norwegian seafood exports grow in April despite trade unrest and falling prices

NORWAY
Tuesday, May 06, 2025

Despite turmoil in world trade caused by US tariffs, the value of Norwegian seafood exports hit an all time April record last month with salmon again taking the lead.

Norwegian Seafood Council CEO Christian Chramer said the growth was due to increased export volume and rising demand for Norwegian salmon in important markets such as the USA and China.

Norway exported seafood worth NOK 14.3 billion (just over £1 bn) in April. This is an increase of NOK 293 million (£21m), or 2% compared to the same month last year.
