New Oceana report outlines how protecting the oceans can feed 700 million people a day
Oceana unveiled a report outlining how saving the world’s oceans can help to feed the 9 billion people projected to be on earth by 2050.
The report explains how implementing science-based fisheries management in the 25 countries that control more than 75% of the world’s fish stocks - specifically measures that reduce overfishing, protect habitat and limit bycatch - will increase fish stocks to the point that wild seafood could sustainably feed 700 million people a day. Putting in place these policies in the countries that control most of the world’s marine fish catch will also help protect important ocean ecosystems.
