Nations will see half of their straddling stocks moving towards the high seas by 2050
UBC finds that 37% of straddling stocks are projected to have significant shifts between Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and the high seas by 2030, while more than 50% could do so by 2050.
Addressing gendered impacts of climate change and IUU in small-scale fisheries
Researchers investigated the gendered impacts of climate change and IUU fishing and offered community-driven approaches to foster resilience, equity, and sustainability in SSFs across climate-sensitive regions.
“Ocean Idioms” to teach you about our oceans
