    We Put Mowi on the Spot

    Here on The Last Salmon we’re as sceptical of salmon farming as you can get without needing therapy but we also think it's important that we hear their side of the story.   And their big wigs are usually so publicity shy that they make vampires look sociable.    Mowi are the biggest player in the salmon farming industry in the world and Ben Hadfield is the MD of Mowi Scotland and the CEO of Mowi Canada, Faroes and Ireland.    We’re going at it head on with Ben. Reality versus the industry spin and whether any of it holds up.    And make sure you stay until the end, because commitments were made directly to us — commitments that we will return to and hold Mowi accountable for in 12 months’ time.   The Last Salmon is in partnership with Loop Tackle, driving change for wild fish and wild places. The Last Salmon, presented by actor and activist, Jim Murray MBE offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild salmon.     For regular updates, follow the show at Instagram.com/TheLastSalmon.

  2. The Fight for Wild Salmon: Lessons from Around the World

    The Fight for Wild Salmon: Lessons from Around the World

    On Wild Salmon Day, Jim Murray returns with the first episode of Season 3, bringing together three leading voices from across the North Atlantic to discuss the future of wild Atlantic salmon. Joining Jim are Marina Gibson from the UK, Matt Hayes in Norway, and Vala Arnadottir from Iceland for a candid conversation about what their countries are getting right when it comes to salmon conservation – and what they're getting spectacularly wrong. From catch-and-release and fish handling to aquaculture, pollution and public awareness, this special episode explores the challenges facing one of the world's most extraordinary migratory species.  The panel debates how anglers have become guardians of wild salmon, the importance of protecting spawning habitat, and why the fight to save salmon must reach beyond the angling community. The discussion also examines how cultural attitudes towards salmon differ between countries, whether fish farming remains the single biggest threat facing wild stocks, and what each of us can do to help ensure future generations experience the wonder of a wild Atlantic salmon. The Last Salmon is in partnership with Loop Tackle, driving change for wild fish and wild places.

    Why This CEO Is Investing in Nature

    Alex Taylor is an avid outdoorsman, conservationist, and author of ‘The Longest Cast: The Fly-Fishing Journey of a Lifetime.’   But he is also CEO of Cox Enterprises, one of the largest private companies in America that generates $22 billion in annual revenue.   With such power comes a lot of responsibility and influence and he has directed investments toward sustainability-focused businesses, committing more than US$2 billion to sustainable businesses focused on clean technology.   So, how can he help save the wild Atlantic salmon?   Cox acquired Loop Tackle in 2024 to ‘lead the market in innovation and in connecting customers with more experiences deeper into nature’ and he joins me on the final episode of Season 2 of The Last Salmon to tell me how he – and his companies – can make real and lasting changes to help save the salmon.   Image: https://www.asf.ca/     The Last Salmon Season 2 is supported by The Missing Salmon Alliance.         The Last Salmon, presented by actor and activist, Jim Murray MBE, offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild salmon.     For regular updates, follow the show at Instagram.com/TheLastSalmon.

    Repost: No farmed salmon at Christmas - or any other time - with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

    As it’s that time of year again, we’re reposting our episode from December 2024 with chef and sustainable food activist, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, for a special Christmas episode of The Last Salmon podcast explaining why farmed salmon should not be on your Christmas dinner table this or any year.   ‘We need to hold the industry to account and provide people with alternatives,’ says Hugh.  ‘The way you spend your money is a vote.  Consumers have the power to affect change.’   Hugh is also critical of celebrity chefs and the media who promote and use farmed salmon. ‘Once chefs have the opportunity,’ he tells Jim. ‘And it’s often a very well-paid opportunity, to appear on television and talk about food, sell their books and promote their various businesses, that increases their responsibility to think about the quality and sustainability of the produce that they’re using and that they’re communicating to the public about.’   Hugh has a long record of opposition to farmed salmon that is unsustainably produced and he tells Jim why a bass will be coming out of his freezer for Christmas instead.  Plus he has some great tips and recipe ideas for alternatives for the dinner table this Christmas. Image: RiverCottage.net   The Last Salmon, presented by actor, artist and activist, Jim Murray, offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild Atlantic salmon.   For regular updates, follow the show at Instagram.com/TheLastSalmon.

    Frederik W. Mowinckel is unique amongst those who oppose salmon farms.  It was his family who were some of the original salmon farmers in Norway that gave rise to the global, toxic industry, but the Mowinckels are now some of the most outspoken critics of its practices, especially that of Mowi who used the Mowinckel surname for their company name. Frederik speaks to Jim on the latest episode of The Last Salmon to talk about his activism, the damage being done by salmon farming companies and why it doesn't have to be this way. The Last Salmon Season 2 is supported by The Missing Salmon Alliance.       The Last Salmon, presented by actor and salmon activist, Jim Murray MBE, offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild salmon.     For regular updates, follow the show at Instagram.com/TheLastSalmon.   Image: https://www.instagram.com/smith_corin/
