It is not only home to a vast array of biodiversity\u2014with many species yet to be discovered\u2014it is also an essential resource supporting the lives and livelihoods of many people. Aquatic foods, which include finfish, bivalves, and aquatic plants, provide vital nutrients\u2014calcium, iodine, omega-3 fatty acids, and more\u2014that are not easily replaceable. Over 3 billion people rely on fish for their animal protein intake.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The vital resources the ocean provides are especially significant to small island nations and developing nations, who will bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change. Small-scale fisheries support the livelihoods of over 500 million people, with an annual revenue of nearly $77 billion. It\u2019s also worth noting that half of small-scale fisheries workers are women.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ocean provides more than food and livelihoods. It is a key ally in the fight against climate change, as a major carbon sink. Although, there is still much to be understood about these blue carbon pathways, as Kristin Kleisner and Rod Fujita discuss in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/2024\/04\/02\/its-time-to-uncover-the-mysteries-of-blue-carbon\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">previous EDFish blog post<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. On the other hand, climate change also poses a great risk to the ocean. For example, rising ocean temperatures are expected to contribute to coral reef die-offs, and fish stocks are expected to shift.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At times it can seem like these issues are as large as the ocean itself, but we know there is hope. At EDF, we are supporting a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/issue\/sustainable-fishing\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">range of efforts<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that empower local communities to develop and embrace innovative and impactful solutions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A Historic Voyage Assesses Cuba\u2019s Coral Reefs<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One example comes from Cuba, where group of Cuban scientists embarked on an unprecedented voyage, supported by several organizations including EDF, covered 1,960 nautical miles of coastline in two months.

That\u2019s why FVON works directly with fishers to employ low-cost sensors on their vessels and ultimately shift the current paradigm around ocean observing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When FVON launched in 2022, it was the only global organizing force to use fishing vessels and gear to collect much-needed ocean data. Its revolutionary efforts resulted in its designation as an action of the UN Decade of Ocean Science. FVON is currently supporting the development of two fishing vessel observing networks in Ghana and the Bahamas. The goal is to establish many more networks in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Seeing the Potential<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While we are closing many knowledge gaps when it comes to our ocean, there is still great potential for improving our understanding and translating that knowledge into tangible solutions.
