Globalism, localism and blue food systems – How can cross-scale tensions be reduced? A production perspective from UK seafood stakeholders
‘Blue foods’ are derived from aquatic species that are caught or cultivated and are amongst the most globally traded commodities. Growing emphasis is being placed on blue foods in future transitions to sustainable food systems. However, recent international events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, UK-EU ‘Brexit’, and Russia-Ukraine war have caused renewed interest in ideological debates between globalism and localism and associated cross-scale tensi…
Unveiling the hidden hands
Distant-water fishing (DWF) refers to fishing operations conducted by companies in waters beyond their national exclusive economic zones (EEZs), often targeting the EEZs of other coastal states or international waters. Research on DWF typically emphasizes the flag states of vessels, rather than the nationalities of the corporations that own them, despite evidence of efforts to obscure ownership. This paper examines the corporate owners of 1648 in…
Updated and expanded analysis of fuel tax concessions for the commercial fishing fleet of the United Kingdom
Fuel represents one of the most substantial cost items for commercial fishing enterprises. Despite growing government commitments to reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, fuel subsidies for fisheries persist globally, including in the United Kingdom (UK), where Fuel Tax Concessions (FTCs) provide tax relief to the fishing industry thus reducing their costs. This study updates and expands previous work examining the economic i…
Seeking clarity on transparency in fisheries governance and management
Calls for greater transparency in fisheries are becoming increasingly common. They promise better evaluation of management interventions, more participatory decision-making, effective monitoring and surveillance, and sustainable and equitable exploitation of shared resources. However, there is often a lack of clarity regarding what is meant by ‘transparency’ and how it is best achieved. This term is often used interchangeably, by both decision-ma…
Mapping the unjust global distribution of harmful fisheries subsidies
Harmful fisheries subsidies contribute to overfishing leading to environmental and societal impacts. If only fisheries and ecosystems within the subsidising nations’ jurisdiction were affected, then unilateral actions might be sufficient to help safeguard our ocean and the people reliant upon it. However, just as fish move between jurisdictions, so too do the subsidised fishing fleets that target them. As such, the impacts and solutions to subsid…
Revisiting fuel tax concessions (FTCs)
Volatility and vulnerability in Mexican fisheries and aquaculture
A constructive critique of the World Trade Organization draft agreement on harmful fisheries subsidies
Strengthening European Union fisheries by removing harmful subsidies
Harmful fisheries subsidies have historically contributed to fleet overcapacity and continue to be allocated to the fishing industry to artificially maintain its profitability. However, in this contribution we show that removing harmful subsidies and reducing overfishing will help to recover the resource biomass, subsequently leading to increased levels of sustainable catches, income and well-being of fishers, and reduces inequities in income and…
Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing impacts
Subsidies and allocation
One of the greatest threats to the conservation of transboundary stocks is the failure of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to equitably allocate future fishing opportunities. Across RFMOs, catch history remains the principal criterion for catch allocations, despite being recognized as a critical barrier to governance stability. This paper examines if and how subsidies have driven catch histories, thereby perpetuating the legacy…
Lessons learned for collaborative approaches to management when faced with diverse stakeholder groups in a rebuilding fishery
Broadening the global debate on harmful fisheries subsidies through the use of subsidy intensity metrics
In line with Target 14.6 of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs), the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been tasked with achieving a multi-lateral agreement on eliminating harmful fisheries subsidies. Despite almost two decades of negotiations and increasing public attention, an agreement remains elusive. There are numerous roadblocks to these negotiations, but one key issue is that there is no clear metric for the pote…
Updated estimates and analysis of global fisheries subsidies
The period from 2019 to 2020 is critical in determining whether the World Trade Organization (WTO), tasked with eliminating capacity-enhancing fisheries subsidies, can deliver to the world an agreement that will discipline subsidies that lead to overfishing. Here, following extensive data collection efforts, we present an update of the current scope, amount and analysis of the level of subsidisation of the fisheries sector worldwide. We estimate …
