The recognition that taboos work and the country now wants to designate 30 percent of its waters to be protected is interesting and this is a show of commitment. This has been stated by Blue Prosperity Fiji Co-Science Principal Investigator, Dr.
The United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA) has governed worldwide “long-term conservation and sustainable use” of shared fish stocks—those that bridge the legal boundaries separating the waters of nations, mainly tunas and sharks—since 2001.
Researchers from the UBC Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (IOF) used a complex model incorporating extreme annual ocean temperatures in Exclusive Economic Zones, where the majority of global fish catches occur, into climate-related projections for fish, fisheries and their dependent human c
The Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) recently released a new technical report outlining the size and abundance of resource reef fish stocks across Palau.
People in Palau, a small nation with a population of about 20,000, consume more wild fish per capita than nearly any other country in the world.
Global fish catches are fluctuating near the highest levels ever reported, while the fraction of fish stocks that are sustainable has never been lower. Nevertheless, governments spent US$22 billion of public money on harmful fisheries subsidies in 2018.
A vast seabird colony on Ascension Island creates a "halo" in which fewer fish live, new research shows.
This nationwide study of fish populations is the first to evaluate the status of reef fish stocks across Palau’s archipelago and provides a baseline to continue assessing the changes in fish stocks over time...According to Dr.
Many of Palau’s fish species had been overexploited but they quickly propagated, allowing replenishment of stocks before they got depleted, according to the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC).
