World Ocean Radio 11/27/24: Healing with Fish

Host: Peter Neill
Producer:
Trisha Badger

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Here is a favorite World Ocean Radio episode in which we highlight an innovative company in Iceland that has developed a product from fatty acid-rich fish skin to treat chronic wounds so that new skin can grow. Called Omega 3 Wound and developed by Kerecis Limited, this FDA-approved skin is grafted onto damaged human tissue such as from burns or diabetic wounds, and is ultimately converted into living tissue. This product illustrates the capacity to use 100% of the fish, thereby maximizing the value of the catch and accelerating economic opportunity around the globe.
