Market-based solution makes the case for blue carbon

Market-based solution makes the case for blue carbon

Over 120 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent could be sequestered every year by 2050 by applying a market-based solution (MBS) to global fisheries that would allow fishers to decide whether – at certain times – it is more profitable to go fish or to remain at port.

Fish buffered from recent marine heatwaves, showing there’s still time to act on climate change

Fish buffered from recent marine heatwaves, showing there’s still time to act on climate change

Fish were surprisingly resilient to marine heatwaves before 2019, highlighting the need to keep seas from warming further, according to new research.

Fish species show surprisingly narrow combination of traits

Fish species show surprisingly narrow combination of traits

The world’s waterbodies are filled with predatory fish feeding on other animals from zooplankton to squid and other fish, while “vegetarian” or herbivore fish are rare. Researchers has analyzed the key traits – size, productivity and trophic level – of over 31,000 fish species recorded in FishBase.

“Heading for failure” UN Sustainable development goal for world oceans

“Heading for failure” UN Sustainable development goal for world oceans

New research examined the progress of the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water”, and more than 70% of countries have not achieved a single target so far.

Protecting 30 per cent of the ocean by 2030 would barely impact fisheries

Protecting 30 per cent of the ocean by 2030 would barely impact fisheries

Sea Around Us presents a multi-objective solution that could lead to the protection of 89% of the ocean’s Representative Biodiversity Areas and 89% of threatened species or about 860 species, all while maintaining access to fishing grounds that provide 89% of the global catch.

Coral reefs are 50% less able to provide food, jobs, and climate protection than in 1950s, putting millions at risk

Coral reefs are 50% less able to provide food, jobs, and climate protection than in 1950s, putting millions at risk

Global coverage of living corals had declined by about half since the 1950s and consequently, the diversity of species had also declined, by more than 60%.

Small-scale fisheries can back food security efforts in Arabian sea countries

Small-scale fisheries can back food security efforts in Arabian sea countries

Countries surrounding the Arabian Sea should empower well-managed artisanal and subsistence fisheries to back food security efforts, a new Sea Around Us study suggests.
