“Who stands to benefit?” To engage in deep-sea mining or not. Not, say international scientists

“Who stands to benefit?” To engage in deep-sea mining or not. Not, say international scientists

While advocates of deep-sea mining say that the investment is needed to provide the metals needed for a carbon neutral economy, opponents point to the irreparable damage that it would have on the environment.

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.

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

For a prosperous Blue Economy, everyone must be involved

For a prosperous Blue Economy, everyone must be involved

Women make up 85% of ocean sectors, but are invisible in fisheries management positions, with marine policies often undermining their livelihoods and wellbeing. They are often not included in any decision-making processes and their dependency and contributions to the Blue Economy are neglected.
