The fish population is decreasing rapidly in the sea, warning UN experts. – eSHOP24X7

A new report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned that oceans constantly face pressure due to excessive fishing, increased climate change and poor management of marine resources.

It has been said in this report how human activities are reducing the richness of the ocean and through which management measures can be improved in the situation.

Manuel Baranje, deputy general director of the UN Agency, said in a conversation with UN news before the report is published that the fish is being trapped faster than the natural rhythm that fish grows. Because of this, your number is registering.

Focusing on the ‘world marine fishing state’ shows a complex image: where more than a third of total reserves are exploited excessively, 77 percent of the total fish consumption worldwide is still obtained from permanent and soft fishing management.

The study has evaluated data on 2,570 marine fish reserves, the largest analysis in history. The deputy director general, Baranje, said: “Management is effective. We know how to increase the fish population again.”

Global inequalities

Differences in different areas on fish capture in a lasting way are clearly visible. More than 90 percent of fishing reserves are continuously trapped on the coast of the Pacific Ocean of the United States and Canada.

In Australia and New Zealand, this figure is more than 85 percent, while in the Antarctic sector of 100 percent of the fish are trapped in a lasting way, where strict international rules are applied.

But on the banks of northwest Africa, from Morocco to the Gulf of Guinea, more than 50 percent of fish reserves are being trapped in excessive quantities of fish and there are no signs of increasing its population today.

The condition of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea is worse. There are 65 percent fish reserves without lasting methods. A positive indication is that in the last decade, the number of fishing boats in that area has decreased by approximately one third. This has increased the hope that the effect of policy change has begun to show.

The deputy director general said that when the management system is available with the necessary resources, fish reserves are restored again. But science -based management is expensive. The infrastructure, science and the necessary institutes for control and monitoring in some areas are beyond access.

According to Manuel Baranje, “we have to increase the capacity of the areas that are not in the right position. Instead of blaming them, they have to understand why they are behind and support their fish population to strengthen again.”

Ruine on return

A clear example of returning fish reserves to a better position, tuna fish. There was a time when their reserves reached a worrying level, but this fish found in the salt water has now returned.

Today, 87 percent of the main tuna reserves are continuously trapped and 99 percent of tuna sold in the global market comes from these sources.

Deputy Director General Manuel Baranje said: “This is a very important turn, because we take management seriously, we create a monitoring system, we prepare a system of compliance with management and rules.”

The findings of this new FAO report can shape not only in Nice, but also in the world. The UN Agency has made efforts to promote responsibility and reforms in collaboration with 25 regional fishing management organizations.

The high official of the Baranje organization believes that this model can also adopt in other places, there should be political will for it.

The deputy director general of the FAO, Manual Manual Barange, published the agency’s report based on fish reserves worldwide.

Fish, livelihoods and blue economy

At the end of the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNC3), it is reported that the political announcements that will be adopted on Friday are completed in countries.

This manifesto will be part of the ‘pleasant oceanic action plan’ and its objective is to proceed to the framework of Kunming-Mantriyal global biodiversity, which was agreed in 2022. The agreement, focused on the conservation of biodiversity, aims to guarantee the protection of 30 percent of the land and ocean areas of the Earth by the year 2030.

The NICE conference discussed the continuous methods of fishing on Wednesday, where the emphasis was to support small levels and promote the inclusive “blue economy”, that is, the sea -based economy.

The representatives considered the objectives of the conservation of the ocean and the paths of connecting social equality, especially in areas where the support of millions of people depends directly on fishing.

60 million people worldwide depend on fishing and aquatic agriculture for their livelihood. In some countries, aquatic organisms are the main sources of protein.

The FAO’s report further strengthens the message given by the United Nations Secretary, Antonio Guterres, on Monday, in which he said that it is still possible to improve the situation. “What is lost in a generation can also return to a generation.”
