Abstract

The report recommends a nuanced approach that addresses the huge threat of overfishing and marine degradation, while taking into account the importance of fish protein and fisheries-based income for many foodinsecure communities in developing countries. In regard to overfishing and the depletion of stocks, the report calls for existing treaties to be applied.
