Round table
The blue growth route: in search of fishing sustainability through innovative models
At this round table we will be addressing the need to adopt sustainable fishing models.
Seas and oceans are running out of fish due to overexploitation. This is a declaration by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation. The World Wildlife Fund says that since 1950 we have caught almost 6,000 million tonnes of fish and other invertebrates from our seas, making the fishing industry the main threat to marine fauna.
A sustainable fishing model is of the essence to guarantee the survival of species and the fishing industry. A model that protects marine fauna, uses selective methods, prevents waste, reduces pollution and certifies the sustainability of catches.
