Big disappointment, @WTO could not reach an agreement to beef up its 2022 agreement, something desparately needed to protect depleting fish stocks. check out this comment: oceana.org/press-releases/wo… @oceana @pewenvironment @UBCoceans @ubcSPPGA

This outcome is not just disappointing; it’s a dire blow to global marine biodiversity. @wto failure to prohibit subsidy-driven overcapacity and overfishing jeopardizes the lives of millions of people who depend on healthy fish populations for their livelihoods and food security.

Our governments are failing to look beyond their own self-interest, prioritizing political posturing above reaching an agreement that would benefit everyone.

🚨NEW PAPER: "Revisiting fuel tax concessions"🚨
We estimate foregone revenue from fuel subsidies cost UK gov't £150–180m per year and that parts of UK fishing fleet are unprofitable w/out this support. We outline considerations for policy reform...

Great to meet filipino fishers working in DW #fisheries but a long way to go for fair pay & treatment. 2 years without port visits, no communication with home and 450-600$US a month despite many years of experience @ITFglobalunion with @StellaMarisOrg in Manila #justiceforfishers
