announcemen<\/a>t by Robert Zoellick, president of The World Bank, of a Global Partnership for Oceans is a critical signal and significant step toward that goal.\u00a0 EDF is proud to be a founding member of this \u201cgrowing alliance of governments, international organizations, civil society groups, and private sector interests that will mobilize knowledge and financial resources to address threats to ocean health, resilience and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\nMr. Zoellick made clear that we \u201cneed coordinated global action to restore our oceans to health.\u00a0 Together we\u2019ll build on the excellent work already being done to address the threats to oceans, identify workable solutions, and scale them up.\u201d\u00a0 We couldn’t agree more.<\/p>\n
Advancing catch shares, also known as rights-based management for fisheries, is a key element of the new Partnership.\u00a0 Other issues include marine protected areas, pollution, governance, and aquaculture.<\/p>\n
Failed fisheries management is preventing the economic and environmental recovery of fish populations around the world.\u00a0 The World Bank estimates that these losses total to about $50 billion annually in its report\u00a0 The Sunken Billions: The Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform which illuminates that the majority of the world\u2019s fisheries are poorly managed and under-utilized economically.\u00a0 Catch shares are a foundational element of turning the economy of fisheries from loss to growth.\u00a0\u00a0 Research shows catch shares are proven to work for the people who rely on the oceans for jobs and food, and for the recovery of fish populations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
