Our globe is under new dramatic environmental pressure: our globe is warming, our ice caps melting, our glaciers receding, our coral is dying, our soils are eroding, our water tables falling, our fisheries are being depleted, our remaining rainforests shrinking. Something is very, very wrong with our eco-system.

American Politician

M. S. Swaminathan

There is an urgent need for regeneration of fisheries and fostering a sustainable fisheries programme. What I mean is, designing new fishing vessels and nets so that they do not disrupt the fish lifecycle by catching young ones and also do not destroy sea grass beds, which serve as habitats for dugongs.

Indian Scientist

Tom Felton

I was cursed with age, really. You do that stupid thing at 12 years old when you say something and it kind of sticks with you for the rest of your life. So, I believe I said I wanted to be a fishery manager. In hindsight, I think acting could be a better route.

On my reservation, we had one of the most abundant fisheries in the world and hundreds of thousands of acres of wild rice beds. We've lost a lot of it, but there's still natural wealth that could support our communities.

American Activist

Bjorn Lomborg

The fact that we're catching more fish per person than we've ever done before doesn't mean that there are not particular places where we've managed fisheries badly.

Danish Scientist

Michael Gove

I know myself, from my own background, the E.U. depresses employment and destroys jobs. My father had a business destroyed by the common fisheries policy.

British Politician

Sigmar Gabriel

Without sound conservation and management measures, fisheries will quickly become depleted and a basic component of global food security will be lost.

German Politician

Severn Cullis-Suzuki

Clean air and clean ocean, you can't translate that into money if you look at the cost to health, cost to fishery industry.

Canadian Activist

Scott Peters

A healthy ocean is vital to our economy and well-being. We need clean and healthy oceans to sustain tourism and fisheries.

Roger Daltrey

European fisheries are a disaster. The American fisheries are well-kept.

English Musician

Some fisheries are restricted areas and not open for public fishing due to conservation efforts.

Not Always Open

The term 'fishery' can imply that the fish are cultivated, not caught in the wild.

Not Wild Fish

Fisheries may practice sustainable methods for maintaining fish populations and health.

Sustainable Practice

'Fishery' encompasses diverse activities including harvesting and selling aquatic animals.

Wide Scope

Fisheries have a significant impact on the economy, especially in coastal regions.

Economic Significance

Fisheries are subject to rules and oversight to protect against overfishing.

Regulation and Management

The best approach for each fishery must be considered based on science, respect for the local communities that rely on the ocean,
