Research by @wcs.org's Tim McClanahan shows that economic pressures & market incentives are keeping fishing effort high enough to suppress fish production recovery, which traps remaining fishers in poverty. Read the articles www.nature.com/articles/s43... & www.frontiersin.org/journals/fis...
Here's a preview of events @wcs.org will be engaging in at #OurOceanConferenceKenya, with a focus on #climateresilientreefs, #30x30, #WomenOceanGuardians, #ecosystembasedadaptation and #sharksandrays. Stay tuned for information on dates/times as they are confirmed.
Look here for where to find @wcs.org at the forthcoming #OurOceanConference in Mombasa, with events highlighting commitments around climate-resilient reefs, Women Ocean Guardians, shark & ray conservation and #30x30 action
Researchers found that high-stakes conditions, where large investments meet deep existing inequities, exist across every ocean basin.

Every seafood choice has a blueprint: what was caught, how it was sourced, who made the call, and what the ocean paid for it.

Suds. Seafood. Stories.

Two new pieces of ocean science, co-authored by WCS, reveal more about what it takes to build truly equitable and sustainable ocean economies.
Another, co-authored by WCS’s @stacyjupiter.bsky.social, assessed more than 35,000 coastal and marine projects across 84 countries and found that only 27% explicitly considered equity.
A new study co-authored by WCS’s Dr. Tim McClanahan mapped over 1,000 marine resource conflicts across 34 African countries, finding that nearly 3/4 were tied to disputes over access to ocean spaces and resources.
The work is a product of the Blue Justice working group, an international partnership spanning WCS, IUCN, WWF, CNRS, and many others.

Notably, 28% of these conflicts didn’t involve fisheries at all – highlighting how ports, tourism, aquaculture, and coastal development are all increasingly competing for space along our coasts.
