Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing depletes fish stocks, destroys marine habitats, distorts competition, puts honest fishers at disadvantage, and weakens coastal communities, particularly in developing countries.  Source: https://ec.europa.eu/oceans-and-fisheries/fisheries/rules/illegal-fishing_pt Fish2Fork  - Improving skills and competencies for monitoring the fisheries process up to the final customer Website: www.fish2fork.eu  |  Email: info@fish2fork.eu Blogue PT: fish2fork.blogspot.com  |  EN Blog: fish2fork-en.blogspot.com LinkedIn page: www.linkedin.com/company/fish2fork-inov Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Fish2Fork.INOV Instagram: www.instagram.com/fish2fork Twitter: https://twitter.com/Fish2forkI YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYy-Db_Ppn_Hkmbl6xhGETQ

More than 3 billion people rely on the ocean for their livelihoods, and over 80 per cent of world merchandise trade is carried out by sea. Oceans contribute to poverty eradication, sustained economic growth and food security. However, the benefits they provide are increasingly undermined by human activities. Rising CO 2 emissions are driving ocean warming, cidification and deoxygenation, which threaten marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them, and are overwhelming the capacity of oceans to moderate climate change. Overfishing depletes fish stocks, a third of which are already overexploited. Land-based pollutants, including plastic pollution and nutrient and sewage runoff, adversely affect coastal habitats and communities. These changes have long-term repercussions that require urgent scaling up of protection of marine environments, investment in ocean science, and support for small-scale fishing communities and the sustainable management of the oceans. The sustainabilit...
