What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Italian MP Devis Dori introduced a bill in Italy on January 13, 2023, proposing a ban on octopus and tuna farming. The proposal aims to protect the Mediterranean Sea and address concerns regarding the expansion of carnivorous aquaculture. This action occurred while 35 Members of the European Parliament wrote to the European Commission calling for an EU-wide ban. Additionally, a letter signed by over 160 NGOs and scientists was delivered to the European Commission urging action to stop the expansion of carnivorous aquaculture across the bloc.
