How do we stop over fishing? Fishing transparency is a great start. Many fisheries worldwide lack the data to provide managers with the information to make better management decisions. The Coalition of Fisheries Transparency aims to work with their partners to help gain more information on each fishery. Maisie Pigeon, the Director for the Coalition, koins Andrew Lewin to discuss how transparency is made possible for fisheries.
In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin sits down with Maisie Pidgeon, the director of the Coalition for Fisheries Transparency. They dive deep into the critical issue of fisheries transparency and its importance in combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, as well as ensuring sustainable fisheries management worldwide.
Join Andrew and Maisie as they discuss:
The challenges of overfishing and fisheries mismanagement globally
The role of transparency in improving fisheries governance
The Coalition for Fisheries Transparency and its mission to advance fisheries transparency measures
Key policy principles outlined in the Global Charter for Fisheries Transparency
Success stories and ongoing efforts in various countries to enhance fisheries management
Whether you're passionate about ocean conservation or simply curious about the complexities of fisheries management, this episode provides valuable insights into how transparency can lead to better decision-making and sustainable practices in the fishing industry.
