Abstract

Small-scale fishing communities worldwide are suffering from the impacts of increased global trade in fish products, dwindling fish stocks, climate change, and environmental degradation. Meanwhile, the EU is promoting broad fisheries agreements and policies that aim to address a crucial supply problem for Europe's large-scale industrial fishing fleet, by increasing its access to fish stocks in other parts of the world.1 This is reflective of EU fisheries policies in general, which for the last several decades, have favoured the growth of the industrial sector at the expense of small-scale fishers, who lose access to fishing areas and markets. The EU context reflects a larger global trend of private sector dominance over fisheries and fish trade. Policies like fisheries agreements export this approach to countries in the Global South, creating a global governance challenge.
