Foreign Policy‘s hit fisheries podcast The Catch is headed to the United Nations Ocean Conference! Join us for a special live taping, in partnership with the Walton Family Foundation and Ocean Conservancy, to kick off our upcoming season on tuna in the Pacific Islands.
Local fisheries around the world are under threat from a number of sources, including IUU fishing, climate change, and weak global governance that leaves local fishers vulnerable to multinational fleets. These dangers jeopardize both local economies and the biodiversity of the ocean. At the epicenter of these emerging threats is Oceania, where healthy fisheries are vital to the economies of its small Pacific Island nations.
