  1. 🎣 Did you kniw there was a sardine shortage going on!? 🎣

    I have a feeling we might be seeing more of this kind of shortage in our futures ...

    King Oscar sardines + other canned varieties are currently hard to find on shelves due to a broad global sardine shortage driven by climate shifts, reduced catch quotas, + rising production costs.

    - Elevated sea temperatures + shifting climate conditions have reduced plankton supplies + triggered an unusually high volume of juvenile fish in catches.

    - Fishing Suspensions: Fisheries + regulatory bodies have enforced strict quotas, early season closures, + fishing suspensions—particularly across major global supply regions—leading to some of the lowest allocations in a decade.

    -Surging Demand & Costs: Rising health-conscious consumer demand combined with escalating global processing, transport, + fuel costs have strained inventories + led to cancelled online orders + bare supermarket shelves
