Declining efficiency of small scale fisheries around the globe threatens food security
Alex Tidd leads a study on global reduction in efficiency of artisanal fisheries
17/12/2021 - Fisheries are a crucial part of the global food system, representing on average 15-20% of animal protein intake (in some countries over 50%) for 4.5 billion people. Historically, changes in the efficiency of fishing fleets drove massive increases in global fisheries catches. Too many boats with excessive harvesting power catching too few fish can lead […]

RAQUEL RUIZ-DÍAZ LEADS A NEW PUBLICATION WITHIN THE CLOCK PROJECT WITH THE COLLABORATION OF FOL MEMBERS ELENA OJEA AND ALBA AGUIÓN
18/09/2020 - Small-scale fisheries (SSFs), which provide an important source of livelihood for many coastal communities, are at risk from climate change. Benthic organisms are likely to be particularly affected by the impacts of climate change due to their low spatial mobility, which limits their capacity for adaptation. Therefore, SSFs that target sedentary resources (“S-fisheries”) will potentially […]
