Rebuilding the World's Fisheries

Groundbreaking new research shows that if oceans were managed sustainably, within 10 years profits could annually grow 115 percent to 51 billion USD over today. However, if fishery reforms are not adopted and status quo remains, the health of the oceans will continue to decline. By sharing knowledge, tools and experience with one another, we can help bring about needed change. EDF’s approach to fisheries reform centers on working with governments to grant fishermen long-term, secure rights to fish under a clear set of rules.
