海を保護して世界に食料を

Oceans could play a crucial role in feeding a growing global population as arable land shrinks and climate change threatens agriculture. Since 1980, wild fish catches have dropped by 18 percent, but targeted management can reverse this trend. Just 24 countries plus the EU control almost 90 percent of the world’s fish catch, and proven steps like quotas, bycatch reduction, and habitat protection could boost annual fish meals for hundreds of millions. Fish protein is not only cost-effective, but also needs less land and water than other sources, while supporting healthy diets and low carbon footprints.
