This session explores the ecological and socio-economic impacts of non-selective fisheries, highlighting their role in biodiversity loss, while engaging global experts in an interactive fishbowl discussion to identify equitable, sustainable solutions, aligning with IUCN’s Nature-Positive agenda and catalyzing equitable transitions toward sustainable fisheries that actively restore marine ecosystems.
Descripción de la sesión
This session examines the profound ecological and socio-economic impacts of non-selective fisheries, particularly in large-scale commercial operations, on biodiversity, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities. While concerns about indiscriminate fishing have long been recognized, the full scale of its consequences and the range of possible management responses remain underexplored. Through an interactive fishbowl discussion, global marine experts, policymakers, and conservation leaders will assess how non-selective fishing contributes to biodiversity loss, food insecurity, and ecological injustice, particularly affecting women and children. The session aligns with IUCN’s Nature-Positive agenda by identifying pathways to transform fisheries into regenerative practices that balance conservation with economic equity. Participants will generate ideas for actionable solutions: we expect that an array of creative solutions will emerge that include reference to tenurial and access rights for selective fisheries, the removal of subsidies for non-selective gears, ocean spatial management, and so much more.Organised by
