How do we stop over fishing? Fishing transparency is a great start. Many fisheries around the world lack the data to provide managers with the information to make better management decisions. The Coalition of Fisheries Transparency aims to work with their partners to help gain more information on each fishery. Maisie Pigeon, the Director for the Coalition, koins Andrew Lewin to discuss how transparency is made possible for fisheries.  In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses fishing transparency with Maisie Pidgeon, the director of the Coalition for Fisheries Transparency. The conversation highlights the significant challenges posed by illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which contributes to overfishing, fisheries mismanagement, and human rights abuses in the fishing sector. Key Points: Lack of Transparency: The absence of transparency measures in fisheries management leads to various problems, including overfishing and exploitation of fish stocks. Many countries struggle to manage their fisheries effectively due to insufficient data on fish populations and fishing activities. Complex Stakeholder Dynamics: The fishing industry involves multiple stakeholders, including governments, the fishing industry, scientists, and conservationists. The interplay between these groups can complicate decision-making and hinder effective management. The Role of the Coalition for Fisheries Transparency: The Coalition is a global network of civil society organizations advancing fisheries transparency measures. Their goal is to ensure the sustainability and equity of the fisheries sector by promoting better data sharing and management practices. Benefits of Transparency: Implementing transparency measures can lead to informed decision-making, increased accountability, and improved governance in fisheries. This, in turn, can help combat IUU fishing and promote sustainable practices that protect fish stocks for future generations. Global Charter for Fisheries Transparency: The Coalition operates under the Global Charter, which outlines ten policy principles to enhance fisheries transparency. These principles include requiring unique identification numbers for fishing vessels, publishing lists of licenses, and ensuring public access to fisheries data. Collaborative Efforts: The Coalition works with various countries and organizations to implement transparency measures. By fostering collaboration and sharing best practices, they aim to create a global community focused on improving fisheries management. Future Goals: The Coalition plans to expand its reach and influence, particularly in regions lacking fisheries management. They aim to raise awareness about the importance of transparency at international forums, such as the upcoming Our Ocean conference. The episode emphasizes that enhancing fishing transparency is a vital step in addressing overfishing and ensuring the long-term sustainability of fish populations. By improving data collection, sharing information, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, the Coalition for Fisheries Transparency aims to create a more equitable and sustainable fishing industry worldwide.

Coral reefs have long been regarded as one of the earliest and most significant ecological casualties of global warming. And as ocean temperatures continue to rise, mass bleaching and die-offs have gone from being rare to a somewhat regular occurrence. Aside from climatic changes, human activities are no doubt damaging reefs beyond repair. Overfishing, pollution and coastal development are at the top of the list of chronic stressors. And meanwhile, reefs are also dredged or sandblasted for their limestone or to improve access and navigational safety in some areas.  On this episode of Climate Connections, Vriko Yu, CEO of Archireef shares her personal story of witnessing the disappearance of a small patch of coral community in just two months during her research project and how that led to the founding of her climate tech venture that's working to restore fragile marine ecosystems by using 3D printing technology and some good old-fashioned terracotta.  Archireef, which was founded in 2020, made the Forbes 100 To Watch List in 2023. Vriko was also recognised as a Top Innovator at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos.

The impact of the avian flu of elephant seals resulted in the death of 17,000 individuals in a population in Argentina. Researchers think the marine mammals caught the virus from migrating birds near their haul out areas that are usually packed with the animals one on top of the other. Unfortunately, 97% of the elephant seal pups were lost resulting in a devastating loss for generations to come.  In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the devastating impact of the H5N1 avian flu on the elephant seal population off the coast of Argentina. Over 17,000 elephant seals died last year due to the outbreak, with approximately 97% of the pups affected. This significant loss poses a serious threat to the population's future, as elephant seals are a slow-growing species that take time to reach sexual maturity and reproduce. The episode highlights how the H5N1 virus has adapted to marine mammals, allowing it to spread efficiently and evolve into distinct strains. The decline in the seal population and the loss of genetic diversity could make them more susceptible to future outbreaks and environmental stressors. The host emphasizes the importance of ongoing research, monitoring, and conservation efforts to mitigate risks and support the recovery of the elephant seal population. Lewin expresses concern over the emotional toll of witnessing such a high mortality rate among the pups, which are crucial for the colony's future. He calls for increased funding and prioritization of conservation efforts to ensure the survival of this vulnerable species. The episode concludes with a commitment to follow the story and seek ways to help the elephant seals as a community.

Ian Urbina's 2019 book, Outlaw Ocean, brilliantly investigates hidden worlds of human activity on the high seas. From modern day pirates and traffickers to gargantuan fishing fleets to “freedom-loving” recluses and entrepreneurs, his stories build on the idea of oceans as lawless spaces well beyond the awareness of most people. He documents extremes of human behaviour. He also describes the extraordinary scale of extraction and exploitation that takes place off shore. In this world, who's “free” and what are the consequences of “lawless” spaces? Outlaw Ocean is this year's selection for the STS1Book programme. In this episode, Dr Michel Wahome talks about why she recommended the book for our community. She points to some of the many ways it can be used to explore key concepts in STS, such as actor-network theory and social-technical imaginaries. She also considers the relationship between lawlessness and entrepreneurship as a key theme in innovation studies and science policy.

The health of the fishing industry relies directly on the number of fish in the sea, and the balance between conserving fish stocks, while also catching enough to make a living, is in constant tension. The Blue Marine Foundation charity has launched legal proceedings over the previous Government's decision to set fishing levels on multiple UK stocks above the level suggested by scientific advice. DEFRA says catch limits have been set in line with obligations under the Fisheries Act 2020 and the Joint Fisheries Statement.The practice of fishing by trawling the sea bed has come in for criticism from conservationists, because of the disturbance and destruction it can cause. The latest report by ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, points out that bottom trawling is one of the major causes of environmental damage to the seabed. We visit a Government-funded trial underway in Brixham, where a new type pf fishing gear is being tested, which it's hoped will have less impact.And poor health experienced by many fishermen could be contributing to a decline in numbers working in the industry. That's according to charities and organisations that work with them. Last year, there was an 8% drop in the number of active fishermen in Scotland - part of a steady decline over the last decade.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

In this episode of "How to Protect the Ocean," host Andrew Lewin dives into the intricate world of fisheries management, focusing specifically on tuna fishing. Joined by Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), the discussion revolves around the recently released report titled "Snapshot of Large-Scale Tuna Per Seine Fishing Vessels." Andrew and Victor explore key topics such as the current state of tuna fishing, the number of fishing vessels in operation, and the countries they represent. Victor shares insights on the surprising stability in vessel numbers, expressing both concern over the lack of decrease and hope for future improvements in fishing practices. Tune in to learn what types of tuna are sustainable to eat and how we can all contribute to better ocean health through informed choices.

This stability indicates a balance between fishing capacity and resource availability, which is essential for sustainable fisheries management. Dr. Victor Restrepo, an expert in tuna fisheries management, noted that while the number of vessels has experienced slight fluctuations, there have been no significant increases or decreases. Over the past 12 years, the count has remained within the range of 640 to 670 vessels. This consistency is particularly noteworthy given the high operational costs associated with these large vessels, which can carry over 400 tons of tuna per trip and can cost between $30 to $40 million when fully equipped. Several factors contribute to the stability in vessel numbers: Economic Considerations: The substantial investment required to build and maintain these vessels means that potential operators must carefully weigh costs against expected returns from fishing, which may limit the number of new entrants into the industry. Resource Limitations: Tuna fisheries are governed by quotas and regulations established by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs). These regulations help ensure that fishing efforts do not exceed sustainable levels, maintaining a balance between the number of vessels and the available tuna stocks. Conservation Measures: Organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) play a vital role in promoting sustainable practices within the industry. The ISSF has implemented conservation measures that restrict the construction of new vessels unless older ones are scrapped, helping to control fishing capacity. Market Demand: While the demand for tuna, particularly in the sashimi market, remains high, there is an increasing preference for sustainably sourced products. This shift in consumer behavior encourages fishing companies to adopt sustainable practices, influencing their operational decisions regarding fleet size. Monitoring and Compliance: The presence of observers on purse seine vessels, especially in tropical tuna fisheries, ensures compliance with regulations and helps monitor bycatch. This oversight can deter illegal fishing practices and promote responsible management of tuna stocks. In summary, the relatively stable number of large-scale tuna purse seine fishing vessels reflects a complex interplay of economic, regulatory, and market factors. While this stability is a positive sign for sustainable fisheries management, ongoing efforts are necessary to ensure that tuna populations remain healthy and that fishing practices continue to evolve in response to environmental and market demands. Understanding Tuna Fisheries Management Tuna fisheries management is a complex and multifaceted issue involving various stakeholders, including scientists, fishing companies, processing companies, and regulatory bodies. In a recent episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) provided valuable insights into the current state of tuna fisheries, the challenges they face, and the efforts being made to ensure sustainability. The Importance of Tuna Species Tuna is a significant fishery resource, comprising three main species of bluefin tuna and 23 stocks of major commercial tunas. Although bluefin tuna accounts for only 1% of the total catch, it generates 99% of the media attention due to its high market value, particularly in the sashimi market. An individual bluefin tuna can fetch prices as high as $70,000 to $100,000, leading to illegal fishing and overfishing in the past. However, since 2009, management practices have improved, and many stocks are showing signs of recovery. Fishing Methods and Bycatch Concerns The primary method for catching tuna is purse seining, where a large net encircles a school of fish, allowing for significant catches. While this method is efficient, it has raised concerns about bycatch, particularly in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, where dolphins often associate with tuna schools. The podcast highlighted the importance of distinguishing between different fishing practices and their impacts, noting that not all tuna fisheries face the same challenges. Regulatory Framework and Challenges Tuna fisheries are managed by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs), which are responsible for setting quotas and regulations. However, a significant challenge arises from the fact that many vessels are authorized to fish in multiple RFMOs, complicating global management efforts. Dr. Restrepo expressed frustration over the lack of a unified system to manage fishing capacity across different regions, which can lead to overcapacity and increased fishing pressure. The Role of ISSF and Market Influence The ISSF plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable tuna fishing practices by collaborating with processing companies to implement science-driven conservation measures. These measures aim to reduce bycatch, limit the use of harmful fishing gear, and ensure that new vessels are not added without scrapping older ones. The podcast emphasized the importance of market demand in driving these changes, as processing companies are increasingly committed to sourcing tuna from sustainable fisheries. Consumer Awareness and Action One of the key takeaways from the episode is the role of consumers in promoting sustainable fishing practices. By becoming more knowledgeable about tuna fisheries and making informed purchasing decisions, consumers can support responsible fisheries and encourage better practices within the industry. Dr. Restrepo highlighted that education is the first step, and consumers can reward fisheries that are doing well while avoiding those that are not. Conclusion Tuna fisheries management is a complex issue that requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including scientists, regulatory bodies, and the fishing industry. While there have been significant improvements in management practices and the recovery of certain stocks, challenges remain, particularly regarding overcapacity and bycatch. Organizations like the ISSF are working to bridge the gap between science and industry, promoting sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the economy. As consumers, we have the power to influence these practices through our choices, making it essential to stay informed and engaged in the conversation about tuna fisheries and ocean conservation. Consumer awareness and education play a crucial role in promoting sustainable fishing practices, particularly in the context of tuna fisheries. As highlighted in the podcast episode with Dr. Victor Restrepo, informed consumer choices can significantly impact the fishing industry by rewarding responsible fisheries and encouraging better management of tuna stocks. The Importance of Consumer Knowledge Dr. Restrepo emphasizes that education is the first step toward making informed decisions about seafood consumption. When consumers understand the complexities of tuna fishing, including the various species, fishing methods, and the environmental impacts associated with them, they are better equipped to choose sustainably sourced products. This knowledge empowers consumers to support fisheries that adhere to responsible practices, thereby incentivizing those fisheries to maintain sustainable operations. Rewarding Responsible Fisheries By opting for tuna products that are certified as sustainable or sourced from fisheries that follow best practices, consumers can create a demand for responsible fishing. This demand encourages fisheries to adopt better management strategies, such as reducing bycatch and adhering to quotas. As Dr. Restrepo notes, the involvement of processing companies that prioritize sustainability has led to significant changes in the industry. These companies often require their suppliers to meet specific conservation measures, which can include 100% observer coverage on fishing vessels, as seen in the Indian Ocean. Encouraging Better Management of Tuna Stocks The podcast also discusses the role of organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) in promoting science-driven management of tuna stocks. The ISSF works with processing companies to implement conservation measures that not only protect tuna populations but also enhance the overall health of marine ecosystems. When consumers support these initiatives through their purchasing decisions, they contribute to a larger movement that advocates for sustainable fisheries management. Conclusion In summary, consumer awareness and education are vital for fostering sustainable fishing practices. By making informed choices, consumers can reward fisheries that operate responsibly and encourage the adoption of better management practices for tuna stocks. As the podcast illustrates, the collective efforts of consumers, processing companies, and organizations like the ISSF can lead to meaningful change in the fishing industry, ensuring that tuna remains a viable resource for future generations.

The overfishing of Pacific bluefin tuna had devastating consequences, leading to a staggering 96% drop in population from its historic high. This drastic decline highlighted the urgent need for immediate and effective conservation measures to prevent the species from facing extinction. The episode discusses how a scientific report in 2012 revealed the alarming state of the Pacific bluefin tuna population, emphasizing the severe impact of overfishing on the species. The significant decrease in the Pacific bluefin tuna population served as a wake-up call, indicating that urgent action was required to reverse the trend of depletion. The episode mentions how the exploitation of these large and valuable fish for commercial purposes, such as the celebratory auction where a Japanese sushi chain purchased a bluefin tuna for $1.7 million, demonstrated how financial interests often outweighed conservation concerns. The episode also touches upon the slow growth and long lifespan of tuna species, making their recovery a lengthy and challenging process. The conservation success story of the Pacific bluefin tuna serves as a beacon of hope, showcasing that with coordinated international efforts and effective management strategies, it is possible to reverse the decline of overexploited marine species. This success story underscores the importance of implementing sustainable fishing practices and conservation measures to protect vulnerable marine species like the Pacific bluefin tuna. The episode highlights the exploitation of endangered tuna species by corporations for profit, noting how the value of individual tuna species can increase as they become more endangered. This phenomenon occurs because the scarcity of a species drives up its market value, making each individual catch more lucrative for those involved in the fishing industry. In the case of the Pacific bluefin tuna, despite facing a significant decline in population due to overfishing, there were instances where a Japanese sushi chain purchased a bluefin tuna for a staggering $1.7 million in a celebratory auction. This exorbitant price tag demonstrates how the demand for these endangered species can lead to inflated prices, creating a financial incentive for exploitation. Furthermore, the episode mentions a common practice where corporations catch endangered tuna species, freeze them for extended periods, and then sell them at a higher price when the species is on the brink of extinction. This strategy essentially turns the exploitation of endangered species into an investment opportunity for these corporations, prioritizing short-term profits over the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems. The documentary "End of the Line," referenced in the episode, provides further insight into the exploitation of tuna species for profit. It delves into the practices of the tuna industry in various regions, shedding light on the detrimental impact of overfishing and the commodification of endangered species. Overall, the episode underscores the alarming trend where the increasing rarity of certain tuna species can paradoxically drive their commercial value up, leading to their exploitation by corporations solely for financial gain. This highlights the urgent need for robust conservation measures and sustainable fishing practices to protect these vulnerable marine species from further exploitation and potential extinction.

These dolphins are residential, meaning they do not leave the bays despite facing various threats such as chemical pollution, oil pollution, dredging, noise pollution, and overfishing. The health of the ocean ecosystem within these bays is vital for the survival of these dolphins. The Guyana's Dolphin Institute, led by biologist Leonardo Flack, has been studying the dolphins in Septiba Bay since the 1990s to understand the challenges they face and find solutions to protect them. The dolphins in these bays are reproducing, but the survivability of their calves is low, leading to high mortality rates. The dolphins are also facing issues such as infectious diseases due to pollution and other factors. Conservation efforts include monitoring the dolphin populations, studying their tissues for contamination levels, and implementing measures to reduce threats like noise pollution, chemical pollution, and overfishing. Marine protected areas have been established in some bays to restrict harmful activities and protect the dolphins. Additionally, efforts are being made to engage with the fishing community and promote ecotourism as a sustainable alternative to fishing. The challenges faced in conserving these dolphins highlight the need for marine spatial planning, collaboration with various stakeholders, and long-term monitoring and research efforts. By addressing the threats and implementing conservation measures, there is hope to bring the Rio's dolphins back from the brink of extinction and ensure their role as apex predators and iconic species in the region. The dolphins in Rio de Janeiro, specifically the Guyana's dolphins or Rio's dolphins, are facing a multitude of threats that are putting their survival at risk. These threats include chemical pollution, sewage contamination, noise pollution from ships, overfishing, and habitat degradation. Chemical Pollution and Sewage Contamination: The bays where these dolphins reside, such as Guanabara Bay, are heavily impacted by chemical pollution and sewage contamination. Up to 80% of sewage from the region is untreated and pumped directly into the bay, contaminating the water with pathogens and pharmaceuticals. This pollution has led to a compromised immune system in the dolphins, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases. Noise Pollution from Ships: The presence of a large number of ships in the bays results in significant noise pollution. The noise interferes with the dolphins' communication, which is crucial for their hunting, communication within the pod, and protection of calves. The disruption in communication due to noise pollution can lead to the exclusion of certain pod members, including calves, which can have detrimental effects on the population. Overfishing: The expansion of urban areas and industrial activities has pushed fishers into areas where the dolphins frequent. As a result, dolphins are getting caught in fishing nets, leading to accidental bycatch. Overfishing not only impacts the dolphins' food source but also poses a direct threat to the dolphins themselves. Habitat Degradation: The bays where the dolphins reside have experienced habitat degradation due to urban expansion, sedimentation, and contamination. For example, Guanabara Bay has seen a drastic decline in the dolphin population, with only 30 individuals remaining out of the 400 that were present in the 1980s. The degradation of their habitat has likely contributed to the decline in reproductive success and overall health of the dolphins. In conclusion, the combination of these threats poses a significant challenge to the survival of the Guyana's dolphins in Rio de Janeiro. Conservation efforts must address these issues comprehensively, including implementing measures to reduce pollution, regulate noise levels from ships, manage fishing activities sustainably, and protect critical habitats. By addressing these threats, there is hope that the dolphin populations can recover and thrive in their natural environment. Collaborative efforts involving researchers, conservationists, and local communities are crucial in implementing solutions to protect the dolphins and their habitats. In the podcast episode, it was highlighted how the Guyana's dolphins, also known as Rio's dolphins, are facing numerous threats in the bays off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. These threats include chemical pollution, sewage contamination, noise pollution from ships, overfishing, and habitat degradation. Researchers like Leonardo Flack from the Guyana's Dolphin Institute have been studying these dolphins for decades, understanding the dangers they face and working on solutions to protect them. Through collaborative efforts with other researchers, conservationists, and local communities, they have been able to monitor the dolphin populations, study their health, and identify the key threats they are facing. One example of successful collaboration mentioned in the episode is the establishment of a marine protected area in Septiba Bay. This protected area prohibits the use of chemicals and fishing, allowing the dolphin population in that specific area to thrive. This initiative shows how working together with local communities and implementing conservation measures can have a positive impact on the marine environment and the species within it. Furthermore, the episode highlighted the importance of engaging with local fishers to promote sustainable practices and alternative livelihoods, such as ecotourism. By involving the fishing community in conservation efforts and providing them with opportunities to support their families in a sustainable way, it not only benefits the dolphins but also the local economy and ecosystem. Overall, the collaborative efforts between researchers, conservationists, and local communities play a vital role in protecting the dolphins and their habitats. By working together, sharing knowledge, and implementing solutions, it is possible to ensure the survival and well-being of these iconic marine species.

The history of the Northern Cod stock dates back over 500 years in Atlantic Canada, playing a crucial role in the region's coastal history. However, industrialization in the 50s and 60s led to overfishing by multiple countries, resulting in the collapse of the fish stocks in Atlantic Canada. Despite efforts to reassess fishing levels, the Canadian fisheries fleet ramped up domestic efforts, leading to further declines in Cod and other ground fish stocks. The Capelin stocks also faced overfishing in the 90s, with no moratorium in place, resulting in ongoing fishing efforts on the stock. Currently, Capelin is at only 9% of its pre-collapse levels, indicating a severe depletion in the stock. The interdependence between Northern Cod and Capelin is crucial, as Cod relies on Capelin as a key prey species. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for both stocks has contributed to their continued depletion and failure to recover to healthy levels. Recent assessments have shown that both Northern Cod and Capelin are hovering near the limit reference point, indicating a critical state for the stocks. Despite some positive signs between 2010 and 2016, growth has since flatlined, with projections indicating a potential decline back into the critical zone. The lack of a robust management plan and clear targets for recovery has hindered efforts to restore these fishery stocks to healthy levels. The recent meetings in Newfoundland, where Fisheries and Oceans Canada and scientific groups discussed the stock assessments, highlighted the urgency of implementing effective management measures. The need for ecosystem-based management decisions, timely implementation of rebuilding plans, and a focus on sustainable harvest levels are crucial to prevent further declines in the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. The lack of clear management measures and the absence of a long-term vision for rebuilding pose significant challenges to the recovery of these fishery stocks. As concerned citizens and advocates for ocean conservation, it is essential to raise awareness about the critical state of the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Contacting government officials, supporting conservation organizations, and advocating for sustainable fisheries management practices can help drive positive change and ensure the long-term health of these important fishery stocks. By taking action and demanding responsible management practices, we can work towards safeguarding the future of Northern Cod and Capelin populations and promoting ecosystem health in the Atlantic region. Lack of Implementation of Management Measures for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada highlighted the concerning lack of implementation of management measures for fishery stocks, particularly the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Despite the availability of tools and resources to improve the situation, there has been a significant delay in implementing necessary measures to ensure the sustainability and recovery of these stocks. Rebecca mentioned that there have been tools and resources in place since 2019, such as a fisheries monitoring policy and a modernized Fisheries Act, which require rebuilding plans and sustainable management of fish stocks. However, there has been a notable gap in implementing these measures effectively. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for these stocks, with defined targets and harvest control rules, has hindered progress towards their recovery. Furthermore, the delay in implementing these management measures has led to uncertainty and varying perspectives among stakeholders, including the fishing industry representatives. The Fisheries Union has expressed a desire to increase harvests, even though the stocks are not at healthy levels. This highlights the urgency of implementing ecosystem-based management plans to prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term health of the fishery stocks. The failure to implement these management measures in a timely manner not only jeopardizes the recovery of fishery stocks but also impacts the fishing community and the ecosystem as a whole. Without clear direction and effective management plans grounded in science, the risk of further decline in fish stocks remains high. Overall, the episode underscores the critical need for prompt and effective implementation of management measures for fishery stocks to ensure their sustainability and prevent long-lasting impacts on the fishing industry and the marine ecosystem. Importance of Comprehensive Management Plans for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada emphasized the critical importance of having a comprehensive management plan in place for fishery stocks. The management plan should include defined targets and harvest control rules to ensure sustainable and healthy levels for the stocks. Here are some key points highlighting the significance of such plans: Rebuilding Plans: Rebecca mentioned that there is a lack of a comprehensive management plan for fishery stocks like Northern Cod and Capelin. Without a clear plan in place, it becomes challenging to monitor and manage the stocks effectively. Rebuilding plans are essential for stocks that fall within the critical zone, as they provide a roadmap for recovery and sustainable management. Predictable Framework: A well-defined management plan provides a predictable framework for the fishing season. It helps avoid crisis management situations where decisions are made reactively. By establishing clear targets and rules, stakeholders can better prepare for the fishing season and ensure that harvest levels are sustainable. Ecosystem-Based Approaches: The implementation of ecosystem-based management plans is crucial for considering the broader ecological context in which fishery stocks exist. By incorporating ecosystem considerations into management decisions, it becomes possible to address the interconnectedness of species and habitats, leading to more holistic and sustainable management practices.

The primary issue at hand revolves around the crab fishing industry in Newfoundland, particularly the snow crab fishery. Currently, fishermen are required to sell their catch to Newfoundland processors at a set price, with restrictions preventing them from selling outside the province or country. This lack of competition in the market allows processing plants to dictate prices, leaving fishermen with limited control over their earnings. The fishermen are advocating for free enterprise, aiming to have the autonomy to set their own prices and sell to a broader market. By being able to sell their catch at their preferred price and to a wider range of species, fishermen believe they can secure better margins and ensure a more sustainable livelihood. The desire for free enterprise stems from the frustration of having to adhere to government-mandated pricing and limited selling options, which hinders their ability to make a profit that covers their operational costs and provides a sustainable income. The protest highlights the longstanding tension between fishermen and the government in Newfoundland, dating back to the Cod moratorium in the early 1990s. The collapse of the Cod fishery had a significant impact on the economy and fishing communities in Newfoundland, leading to a lack of trust between fishermen and the government. The current protest reflects a broader struggle for autonomy and fair treatment within the fishing industry, emphasizing the importance of empowering fishermen to have more control over their businesses and economic outcomes. The issue raised by the Newfoundland fishermen underscores the complexities of fisheries management and the need for a balance between conservation efforts and supporting the livelihoods of those dependent on fishing. By allowing fishermen the freedom to set their own prices and expand their market reach, it could potentially lead to a more sustainable and equitable fishing industry in Newfoundland. The fishing industry, particularly in Newfoundland, is facing significant challenges due to monopolies in processing plants dictating prices. Fishers are finding their ability to set their own margins severely limited, impacting their livelihoods and the sustainability of the industry. In the episode, it was highlighted that fishers in Newfoundland, particularly crab fishermen, are facing restrictions on where they can sell their catch and at what price. Currently, they are required to sell their catch to Newfoundland processors at a set price, with no option to sell outside the province or country. This lack of competition allows processing plants to dictate prices, leaving fishers at a significant disadvantage. The issue of monopolies in processing plants not only affects the income of fishers but also hinders their ability to cover costs associated with fishing, such as boat maintenance, fuel, and gear expenses. Without the freedom to set their own prices based on market demand, fishers are left with little control over their profit margins, making it challenging to sustain their businesses. The situation in Newfoundland reflects a broader problem within the fishing industry, where processing plants hold significant power over fishers, impacting their economic stability and autonomy. The call for free enterprise and the ability to sell seafood at competitive prices is crucial for the long-term sustainability of the fishing industry and the livelihoods of fishers. Addressing the issue of monopolies in processing plants is essential to ensure fair compensation for fishers, promote competition in the market, and support the economic viability of fishing communities. By allowing fishers the freedom to set their own prices and explore diverse market opportunities, the industry can move towards a more equitable and sustainable future. Negotiations and regulations in the fishing industry play a crucial role in ensuring fair compensation for fishers and protecting the environment. As discussed in the podcast episode, the fishing industry, particularly in Newfoundland, has faced challenges with regulations that limit the ability of fishers to sell their catch at fair prices. The current system restricts fishers to selling their catch to specific processing plants at set prices, leading to concerns about lack of competition and unfair pricing practices. Improving negotiations and regulations in the fishing industry is essential to address these issues. Fishers, like the crab fishermen in Newfoundland, are advocating for the freedom to sell their catch at prices that reflect the true value of their efforts and investments. By allowing fishers to sell their catch outside the province and even internationally, they can access a broader market and potentially secure better prices for their products. Moreover, enhancing regulations to promote fair competition among processing plants can help prevent monopolistic practices that dictate prices to fishers. By giving fishers more control over their catch and pricing, they can operate their businesses more effectively and sustainably. This can lead to better livelihoods for fishers and a more equitable distribution of profits within the industry. In addition to ensuring fair compensation for fishers, improving regulations in the fishing industry is crucial for environmental protection. Sustainable fishing practices are essential to maintain healthy fish stocks and preserve marine ecosystems. By implementing regulations that promote sustainable fishing methods and responsible resource management, the industry can contribute to long-term environmental conservation. Overall, the podcast episode highlights the importance of reevaluating and enhancing negotiations and regulations in the fishing industry to achieve a balance between economic viability, fair compensation for fishers, and environmental sustainability. By addressing these aspects, the industry can move towards a more equitable and environmentally conscious future.

Lake Michigan is teeming with life. But over time, its food web — from the smallest plankton to the largest fish — has been impacted. Overfishing and waves of invasive species have taken their toll. Now, climate change is flexing its muscles in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. On land, we've felt and seen it during what's been the warmest winter on record.

Overfishing in Japan, a thriving black market, and even the Fukushima nuclear disaster are all fanning the flames of fishing disputes involving tribes in Nova Scotia and Maine. Eels cannot reproduce in captivity. So juvenile glass eels, known as elvers, are a valuable commodity for Japanese aquaculture. They supply demand for a popular traditional dish in Japan. That demand is so high, it is threatening eel fisheries to the point that Canada is shutting down commercial seasons. Tribes maintain their treaty right to fish despite the government's mandate. That's causing rifts with non-Indigenous fishers and government officials.

In this episode, we explore the destructive impact of trawling, an unsustainable fishing method that is contributing to overfishing and the degradation of the ocean. We discuss how trawling destroys the ocean floor and its potential effects on climate change. Additionally, we delve into a new study that reveals the significant carbon release associated with bottom trawling. This episode highlights the urgent need to address the environmental consequences of fishing practices and offers insights on how individuals can take action to protect the ocean.

While efforts are being made to conserve fisheries and promote sustainable fishing practices, certain methods, such as trawling, remain highly unsustainable. In this episode, we delve into the destructive nature of trawling and its impact on the ocean floor, as well as its contribution to climate change. Trawling involves dragging a massive net along the ocean floor, scraping and collecting everything in its path. This method not only destroys the surrounding environment but also releases significant amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. A recent study has estimated that trawling releases approximately 370 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, making it a significant contributor to global warming. The study, conducted by a global team of climate and ocean experts, analyzed data from 1996 to 2020 and found that trawling released a staggering 8.5 to 9.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during that period. The researchers likened trawling to marine deforestation, causing irreparable harm to the climate, society, and wildlife. The carbon released by trawling not only contributes to global warming but also leads to local acidification, reducing the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon. Sediment plumes created by trawling can be seen from space, similar to vapor trails left by aircraft. The study identified trawling hotspots, including the East China Sea, Baltic Sea, North Sea, and Greenland Sea, as significant sources of climate emissions. It is alarming to note that over half of the carbon released by trawling enters the atmosphere within a decade. This means that even if trawling were to cease immediately, the carbon emissions from past trawling activities would continue to impact the climate for years to come. The study also highlighted the fact that 75% of fishing vessels are not publicly tracked, indicating that the estimates of carbon emissions from trawling may be conservative. To address this issue, the study authors emphasize the need for countries to include trawling emissions in their climate action plans. By regulating and reducing trawling activities, immediate benefits can be achieved in terms of carbon emissions reduction. Failure to take action will result in the continued release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, exacerbating the effects of climate change. In conclusion, trawling is a highly destructive fishing method that not only destroys marine habitats but also releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is crucial for countries to prioritize the regulation and reduction of trawling activities to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect marine ecosystems.

Protests have started in the Far North against tomorrow's annual Doubtless Bay fishing competition. Ngāti Kahu members, leading the protest, say it's to stop overfishing - and they're blocking Tāipa boat ramp. They aren't being supported by all from the iwi - and police are keeping a watching brief. Competition organiser, Nick Ryan told Heather du-Plessis Allan that he doesn't want anyone getting arrested or hurt. He says they're trying to find a way through and are having conversations with the local marae - who support the competition.   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Lewin discusses how the UK government is setting catch limits for fish populations above what scientific advice recommends. He explains the importance of following scientific advice to ensure sustainable fishing practices and prevent overfishing. Andrew also highlights the negative consequences of ignoring scientific advice, using the example of the collapse of the cod fishery in Canada. He emphasizes the need for governments to prioritize conservation and make decisions based on the best available science.

The host highlights the example of the Canadian government's mismanagement of cod stocks, which led to the collapse of the fishery and devastating consequences for the fishing community. Despite the advice of fishery scientists, the government continued to set catch limits above the recommended levels, resulting in a depletion of the population. The host emphasizes that following scientific advice and setting conservative catch limits is crucial to prevent overfishing and maintain healthy fish populations. The recent case of the UK government setting catch limits above scientific advice is also mentioned, with conservationists challenging the government's actions in court. The host argues that ignoring scientific advice and setting higher catch limits undermines conservation efforts and puts fish stocks at risk. It is suggested that governments should work with the fishing community to find a balance between sustainable fishing practices and livelihoods, while prioritizing the long-term health of fish populations. Overall, the episode emphasizes the need for governments to prioritize scientific advice and take proactive measures to protect and sustain fish stocks.

"I mean, it was beautiful, with loads of nuances and touches to make it user-friendly but we should have built an MVP way quicker. We should have just gotten a box, shoved some LED lights in it, built 10 of them, put them in a net [and asked potential users], does this work for you?” This — the pitfalls of spending too much money and time over-designing their first product — was one of the first lessons Dan Watson learned when launching precision fishing start-up SafetyNet Technologies. He's my latest guest on The High-EQ Founder podcast, where we discuss: the degree of user interaction they now have when building their MVPs the surprising downside of winning the prestigious James Dyson design award how SafetyNet punches above its weight by collaborating with their competitors how being transparent with his team paid off in fierce loyalty, even as he had to let half of them go Follow Dan on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-watson-05706128/ Sign up for The High-EQ Founder newsletter: https://www.renitakalhorn.com/newsletter/ Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/renitakalhorn/ Music by Tom Fox: https://tfbeats.com/

Adam Ratner is the Associate Director of Conservation Education at Marine Mammal Center.  The Marine Mammal Center advances global ocean conservation through rescue and rehabilitation, scientific research, and education. They are the world's largest marine mammal hospital and rescues more marine mammals than any other organization in the world, covering a rescue range that spans 600 miles of California coastline and Hawai‘i. Within the episode we talk about overfishing. Overfishing simply refers to the process of taking more fish out of the sea than can reproduce and replenish naturally. With the use of massive industrial fishing practices and nets that can stretch for miles, it isn't only the targeted animals that are at risk, but also other animals that are caught by accident and killed. With billions of people around the world relying on seafood, the pressure on fish stocks has never been greater. Currently, one-third of all fisheries around the world are overfished, and the rate is increasing drastically so we must take action now to support healthy fish stocks for people and animals.

Robin Simsa is the CEO of Revo Foods, the first company to sell 3D printed, vegan “salmon” filets – already available all over Europe. They're making 100% plant-based seafood to reduce overfishing and relieve pressure on our marine ecosystem. Robin himself has a PhD in biotech from the university of Gothenburg and Tufts University, and he was also nominated to Forbes 30 Under 30. 3D printing food is one of those exciting or terrifying ideas depending on your perspective, especially if “it's people!” is still ringing through your brain and you're worried about a Soylent Green future. However, I see technologies like this as a necessary step towards our evolution as a species, which is why I'm so excited about this episode and I'm not the only one; investors have already poured up to $400 million into alternative seafood start-ups in recent years, including over $7 million into Revo Foods. ➡️ https://revo-foods.com/ ➡️ https://rosspalmer.com/robin-simsa ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer ➡️ Subscribe on YouTube: @therosspalmer

Trade between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will change on Sunday as the new Windsor Framework comes into operation.The framework is the revised post-Brexit deal for Northern Ireland.  It was agreed by the EU and UK in February. The government is being taken to court over fishing. The Blue Marine Foundation, a conservation charity, says ministers have set fishing quotas higher than scientific advice allows. The UK negotiates with neighbouring countries, like Norway and the EU over fishing quotas and those discussions are informed by scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (Ices), which outlines how many fish can be taken from the ocean, without their numbers falling to dangerously low levels, but campaigners claim the government is ignoring that advice. Harvest time has featured in poetry and songs for centuries, reflecting both the beauty and difficulty of farming at this important time of year. All week we've been celebrating nature writing. Today we hear from poet Sean Borodale who's been visiting farms and collecting stories to write his own poem, reflecting what harvest looks like nowadays.

Series 9 has landed! Our first guest is Cyrill Gutsch, the fascinating founder of Parley for the Oceans. With his partner Lea Stepken, this NY-based designer and branding expert started his global environmental organisation in 2012, after bumping into Pamela Anderson at an art fair. Pammy was wearing a Sea Shepherd T-shirt, and when Cyrill asked her why, she told him Sea Shepherd's activist-in-chief Paul Watson was in trouble - he'd been arrested in Frankfurt on an international warrant. Cyrill, being German, thought he might be able to help, and went to visit Watson in his lawyer's office. There, he learned that Watson's strife was a drop in the proverbial compared with what's happening to the oceans. Plastic pollution! Climate change! Overfishing! Could creativity be the super power needed to turn it around?The rest, as they say is history. Cyrill decided to ditch his regular clients, and donate his time to just one: OUR OCEANS. Specifically, “raising awareness for their beauty and fragility” and “collaborating on projects [to] end their destruction.”Over the years, such projects have included: working with Adidas to phase out single-use plastics; partnering with big-name visual artists on everything from underwater sculptures to sustainable surfboards; funding research into new materials; and setting up programs in schools. On a practical level, Parley's work is just as likely to play out as beach cleanups in the Maldives as it is to be a new Dior bag. It's all in the mix, to beat what Cyrill calls “our addiction” to virgin plastic.Next on his To-Do List? Just a total materials revolution. “We need to change the way we make stuff.”Check out the shownotes on wardrobecrisis.comCan you help us spread the word about Series 9?
