overfishing
The number of fish on the US government's overfishing list sunk to a new low last year in a sign of healthy fisheries, federal officials said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released an updated analysis of American fisheries late last week via its annual 'Status of the Stocks' report, which provides an assessment of the populations of the seafood species fishermen catch and customers buy. The report states that 94 per cent of fish stocks are not subject to overfishing, which is slightly better than a year ago. The US was able to remove several important fish stocks ...

Bottom trawling is rife in marine protected areas across the UK and EU. Allowing this is endangering our ocean, our climate and our coastal communities. The damage caused by trawling and dredging in marine protected areas (MPAs) should not be underestimated.

This industrial extraction is also indiscriminate, and levels of untargeted bycatch are among the highest of any form of fishing. Over 400 million tonnes of untargeted marine life have ...

That all changed when Secretary Kerry created Our Ocean – an annual international conference that will meet this week, for the ninth time, in Athens, Gre...

Norway will not go ahead with plans to permit seabed mining of critical raw materials on its continental shelf if initial exploration suggests it cannot be done sustainably, a foreign ministry official told Euronews, as the European Commission prepares to sign a bilateral agreement with the Scandinavian state on the sought-after materials. State secretary Maria Varteressian affirmed Oslo’s support and intention to quickly ratify the United Nations Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Treaty, also known as the High Seas Treaty, at an event in Brussels on Thursday (7 March)....
