7 SOLUTIONS WE NEED RIGHT NOW TO STOP OVERFISHING I Ocean life protection I overfishing

Описание: IN 50 YEARS, AVERAGE CONSUMPTION PER PERSON
HAS NEARLY DOUBLED & TO SATISFY THIS DEMAND
GLOBAL FISH PRODUCTION HAS QUADRUPLED

OVERFISHING IS NOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF OUR LIFETIME
WITH OVER 35% OF THE TOTAL CURRENT CATCH
BEING UNSUSTAINABLE

SOLUTIONS TO OVERFISHING

1. BAN FISHING SUBSIDIES IN
FUEL, FISHING GEAR AND
BUILDING NEW FISHING VESSELS
NOTORIOUSLY INCENTIVIZE OVERFISHING
BENEFITING LARGE SCALE FISHING COMPANIES

2. ADOPT RIGHTS BASED MANAGEMENT OF FISHERY
EVERY PERSON, COMMUNITY, COMPANY OR FISHING VESSEL
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FISH AT A PARTICULAR TIME
IN A PARTICULAR AREA

CATCH-SHARE PROGRAMS ARE ALSO NEEDED
TO GIVE HARVEST ALLOWANCES TO INDIVIDUALS & COMPANIES
TO INCENTIVIZE SMARTER AND TIMELIER FISHING
RATHER THAN A RACE TO CATCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

3. APPLY REGULATIONS ON FISHING NETS
GIGANTIC NETS CATCH THOUSANDS OF
UNTARGETED MARINE SPECIES
INCLUDING SEA-TURTLES, BIRDS AND SHARKS

REGULATIONS AND THEIR ENFORCEMENT
CAN PREVENT & DISCOURAGE
TRAPPING THESE UNTARGETED MARINE SPECIES

4. PROTECT ESSENTIAL PREDATOR SPECIES
SHARKS & TUNA ARE SOME PREDATOR SPECIES
THAT HELP MAINTAIN FISHERY ECO-SYSTEMS

NEW ASSESSMENT PROTOCOLS BY FAO
CAN SUCCESSFULLY PROTECT SUCH SPECIES
IN DESIGNATED AREAS

5. INCREASE MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND ENHANCE CONTROLS
ABOUT 92% OF THE OCEANS ARE UNPROTECTED
THESE MPA’S ARE ONE OF THE MOST
EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO OVERFISHING

6. REQUIRE TRACEABILITY STANDARDS
TRACEABILITY STANDARDS FOLLOW THE PRODUCT
FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE END MARKET
INFORMING ABOUT COMPLIANCE OF FISHING REGULATIONS

7. BANNING FISHING IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS
ABOUT 99% OF OCEANS ARE INTERNATIONAL WATERS
THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ANY SINGLE COUNTRY
AND ARE UNPROTECTED FROM OVERFISHING

BANNING OPEN SEAS FISHING WOULD LIKELY BE
AN EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE OVERFISHING SOLUTION
