SAR, Seas At Risk (2024) Fisheries for a new era–small-scale, low-impact fishing shows the way.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The report “Fisheries for a new era”, unveils how innovative business models developed by small-scale, low-impact fishers and fishmongers could catalyse change in the fishing industry at the forefront of the EU’s clean transition. It showcases twelve successful alternative business models to address critical issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change and the socio-economic struggles of coastal communities. These models tackle problems including market dominance by intermediaries, the concentration of fishing quotas in the hands of a few large-scale interests, unsuitable fishing regulations and declining fish populations. By developing strategies such as direct marketing, novel labelling systems and profitable markets for invasive species, the report reveals how innovative business models not only offer new market opportunities, but also ensure fairer prices for small-scale, low-impact fishers, who are often marginalised in traditional markets, all while minimising the sector’s environmental footprint.
