Core Insights - The report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicates that global marine fishery resources are gradually recovering under scientific management, but there are significant regional disparities, with some areas still facing sustainability challenges [1][2] Summary by Sections Global Fishery Status - As of now, 64.5% of fish populations are within biologically sustainable levels, while 35.5% are classified as overfished. When weighted by catch volume, 77.2% of global fish catches come from sustainable populations [1] Regional Disparities - The report highlights that the rate of overfishing has been increasing at an average of about 1% per year, with notable differences between regions. For instance, the sustainable catch rates in the Southeast Pacific and the Central Eastern Atlantic are only 46% and 47.4%, respectively. The Mediterranean and Black Sea regions have a sustainable catch rate of just 35.1%, although the proportion of sustainable populations in this area is slowly increasing, indicating some success in regional cooperation [2] Role of Small-Scale Fisheries - Small-scale and individual fisheries play a crucial role in developing countries, but due to a lack of data and insufficient management capacity, it is challenging to comprehensively assess their sustainability levels. The FAO calls for increased investment in data collection systems and improved governance capabilities to support sustainable development goals [2] Management and Governance - The FAO emphasizes that effective management remains the most powerful tool for conserving fishery resources. The organization urges countries to accelerate actions, share successful management experiences, and build sustainable and resilient aquaculture systems to contribute more significantly to global food security, nutrition, and employment [2]
