Small-scale fisheries account for 40% of global catch, providing 20% of micronutrient intakes for up to 2.3 billion people and livelihoods for 1 in 12 people.
Huge effort involving @fao.org & 800 experts, out now in @nature.com

Our new Nature paper on the multi-dimensional contributions of small scale fisheries just dropped www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We find that SSF supply ~40% of global fish catch worth >$77billion, with knock on benefits that support numerous sustainable development goals. A truly monumental effort
To all academics who have made the move from the toxic #Twitterx to the safer waters of #Bluesky
- maybe now is the time to encourage your Lab/Department/Faculties/University/College/Research Institute/ Group/ Programme to make the same move?
