Since the early 1990s, the globalisation of fisheries has accelerated, with environmental issues and the sustainable exploitation of aquatic resources both emerging as global concerns. While many of these global developments might have originated with people’s desire to see the environment and fisheries sustained, some initiatives have had and continue to have negative impacts on existing sustainable fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. These negative impacts are mostly due to a lack of awareness on the part of the global proponents, who are not always sufficiently aware of the specificities of tropical fisheries. More dangerously, some groups have vigorously promoted certain issues with a rather militant vision of environmental sustainability, heavily antagonizing fisheries without an appropriate rationale and scientific basis. In doing so, they fail to recognize both the importance of fisheries as a safety net for Southeast Asian populations, and the many efforts currently being undertaken to improve the sustainability of regional fisheries.
