Fly Fishing Climate Alliance

Hey anglers! This one is for you!

Hurricanes Helene and Milton’s rapid intensification are from warming ocean temperatures, which are a result of human-causes global warming, so it makes sense to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, right? What if I told you that Emerger Strategies can reduce your company’s costs AND reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions simultaneously. Well, if you are not interested in reducing your company’s costs, nobody can help you, but if you are like most business owners, you are interested in learning more, so let’s dive in!

2023 was the hottest year on record, and 2024 has cursed us with massive heat waves, storms and wildfires.?Our fishing is suffering because we can’t break our addiction to fossil fuels. Watch this short PSA, pass it around, and then contact your senators and representatives and tell them to do more on climate. Special thanks to CONSERVATION HAWKS INC, Todd Tanner, Craig Mathews, Hilary Hutcheson, Kirk Deeter, and Tom Rosenbauer for your leadership! #protectwhatyoulove #flyfishing #climatechange #climateaction #sustainability https://lnkd.in/e9WTMcJN

Hey Charleston! I am super stoked to share the Emerger Strategies is putting on a Sustainability Boot Camp at Lowcountry Local First every Friday in September! Participants will: ? Learn the business case for sustainability ? Complete a Sustainability Assessment and receive a Sustainability Score ? Collect social & environmental baseline data to measure progress ? Measure your Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions ? Access to a Sustainability Toolkit for continuous improvement I am partnering with The Sustainability Institute who will be presenting on how to reduce your company’s Scopes 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and take a tour of a #greenbuilding that has achieved Charleston RISES certification! I am also partnering with Coastal Expeditions and we will be going on a kayak paddle so that we can understand that just how everything in nature is interconnected, so are our businesses and the planet. Let’s protect the Lowcountry that we love together!

Climate change poses various risks, including regulatory, physical, and market risks, and as our oceans warm and become more acidic, climate change also threatens the fish that we love. By measuring your company’s carbon footprint, you can better understand these risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, enhancing your company’s long-term resilience. Demonstrating a commitment to reducing your company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can also enhance your company’s reputation among consumers, investors, and other stakeholders. Companies known for their sustainability efforts gain a competitive edge and build stronger, more loyal customer relationships. We will be at #ICAST next week in Orlando, and if your company has questions about measuring & reducing your company greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, responding to CDP, or obtaining The Change Climate Project Climate Neutral Certification, Rick Crawford will be there to answer your questions! #protectwhatyoulove #fishing #flyfishing #sportfishing #climatechange #climateaction #sustainability #sustainablebusiness #conservation #icast #icast2024

Climate change is affecting the places where anglers love to fish, which is why Emerger Strategies works with businesses to reduce their carbon footprint, and improve their overall sustainability performance. “For Tomorrow’s Fish” is a call for a united front of anglers, industry, and other advocates to act now against the unparalleled threats of warming waters, deoxygenation, and extreme weather events that impact fisheries and make it harder to do what we love. The fishing community must advocate for climate-resilient fisheries that are healthy and abundant in the face of climate change.
