Billions of people around the world depend on the fishing industry for both their food and livelihoods. In fact, about 200 million people are directly or indirectly employed in the fish and seafood industries. With increasing population levels and challenges like climate change, sustainable fishing is vital to protect these livelihoods and ensure food security.
