Modern fishing is going further and deeper than ever. But there's a big catch Fishing efforts multiplied nine times between 1970 and 2008. And yet the more we fish, the less fish we are catching.

The #HighSeasTreaty could be a game-changer: only 1% of oceans are truly protected, but now countries can safeguard more! Overfished species can recover—if we let them 🌊

#DanielPauly: “We are not helpless.” Every choice counts.

(1/2) Having studied international law (and cited #DanielPauly in my latest thesis) it’s a guarantee they’re all over-fished. As long as extractive capitalism is the norm, they will remain that way until all fisheries collapse, with devastating ecological ripple effects.

🔎 Why are Europe’s fish disappearing?

Since 1975, catches have collapsed, pushing fleets into distant waters. Dr. #DanielPauly warns France now has just 10% of its former fishery resources—raising urgent questions on maritime agreements and #industrialfishing. 🐟

#DanielPauly hat grundlegende Forschung zum Impact der industriellen Fischerei auf Fischbestände und Meere geliefert.
Es lohnt sich immer, ihm zuzuhören oder ihn zu lesen.
Jetzt bezeichnet er den französischen Meeresschutz als Hohn - leider hat er damit Recht. Es trifft auch auf andere Länder zu

Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever Exploitation of the high seas risks doing irreversible damage to biodiversity, climate stability and ocean equity. A consensus must be built now to save them.

Leading scientists including co-creators of FishBase, Drs #RainerFroese (GEOMAR) & #DanielPauly (@seaaroundus.org) raise concerns over findings of a recent research on 230 fisheries worldwide –sounding the alarm that global fish stocks are being overestimated. www.q-quatics.org/2024/08/23/f...

Fisheries research overestimates fish stocks

A miscalculation in fisheries that may lead to serious implications, potentially contributing to overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices. FishBase creators Drs #DanielPauly & #RainerFroese are now advocating for simpler yet more realistic assessments! #CMSY www.q-quatics.org/2024/08/23/f...

"When water enters a fish's mouth, it doesn't drink; it breathes—like us inhaling air. A fish inhales water, and the gills then extract the oxygen out of the water. #MarineLife #GOLT #DanielPauly #FishRespiration

Overfishing and Climate Change Threaten Fish Populations - GreekReporter.com Climate change and overfishing cause fish to shrink, forcing species to become "climate refugees," as they look for more favorable waters.

In 1995, the fisheries scientist #DanielPauly coined the term ”shifting baselines syndrome″. The term describes how some scientists perceive the state of the ecosystem at the start of their careers to be the natural baseline. www.smh.com.au/environment/... @seaaroundus.bsky.social
