New FCRR: Understanding the fishers to change the fishery in the bottom trawl industry in India

New FCRR: Understanding the fishers to change the fishery in the bottom trawl industry in India

The report unravels the drivers and motivations that entice fishers and the fishery to start, engage in, and stop bottom trawling in India. Understanding the nuances within communities rather than viewing them as one entity is paramount for designing equitable policies. Moreover, the study highlights a pressing reality: fishers do not always want to fish and are sometimes forced to remain in the bottom trawl industry. Recognizing and addressing these insights are paramount in effectively constraining bottom trawling.

New FCRR: Implementation of CITES Appendix II listing for seahorses in the context of export bans and suspensions

New FCRR: Implementation of CITES Appendix II listing for seahorses in the context of export bans and suspensions

Despite measures taken by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), most dried seahorse exports appear to have gone underground, and smuggling is now the norm. The report explores the many reasons driving this illegal trade and then identifies ways forward.

New FCRR: Global Fisheries: Livelihood Impacts of Overfishing. Technical Report: November 30, 2022

New FCRR: Global Fisheries: Livelihood Impacts of Overfishing. Technical Report: November 30, 2022

This technical report supports what researchers have been saying for many years – we urgently need to rebuild overfished fish stocks in order to recoup the current economic and social benefits that are inescapable with current catch loss.
