A city that cannot be conquered

Introducing Vigo in London

An environmental crime?

EDIBLE = COMESTIBLE............................................MADNESS = LOCURA

WASTED = MALGASTADO.........................................SENSELESS = SIN SENTIDo

DISCARDING = DESCARTE

Around half of the fish caught by fishermen in the North Sea are unnecessarily thrown back into the ocean dead. 

The problem is that in a mixed fishery where many different fish live together, fishermen cannot control the species that they catch. 

FISHERY = ÁREA DE PESCA

Fishing for one species often means catching another, and if people don’t want them or fishermen are not allowed to land them, the only option is to throw them overboard. The vast majority of these discarded fish will die.

OVERBOARD = POR LA BORDA

Because discards are not monitored, it is difficult to know exactly how many fish are being thrown away. The EU estimates that in the North Sea, discards are between 40% and 60% of the total catch. Many of these fish are species that have fallen out of fashion: we can help to prevent their discard just by rediscovering our taste for them.

MONITORED = CONTROLADO, MONOTORIZADO....PREVENT = EVITAR

Others are prime cod, haddock, plaice and other popular food species that are “over-quota”. The quota system is intended to protect fish stocks by setting limits on how many fish of a certain species should be caught. 

COD = BACALAO, HADDOCK = ABADEJO....PLAICE = PLATIJA....QUOTA = CUOTA, CUPO

Fishermen are not allowed to land any over-quota fish; if they accidentally catch them – which they can’t help but do - there is no choice but to throw them overboard before they reach the docks.

DOCKS = MUELLES
