As we utilize living marine resources in EU waters for income, food provisioning, and social benefits, we must also consider their long-term sustainability and resilience. Overexploitation poses significant risks, which is why we propose a range of actionable recommendations that span both short- and long-term actions. Notably, it is crucial to prioritize existing alternatives to damaging fishing and farming techniques to preserve our marine resources.
By ensuring abundant, sustainable stocks, balancing fleet size with available resources, protecting supportive marine habitats and reduce externalities, we can secure the long-term sustainability of our marine resources. Such actions include gatekeepers addressing the cost of transitioning to responsible, sustainable fishing and farming practices as a barrier to overcome. Let us all work together to preserve and protect our fisheries and the productivity of our oceans for generations to come.
