New research from the University of British Columbia in Canada shows that closing the high seas fishing industry could increase future coastal catches by 10 percent. Researchers on the project say this will help fishermen cope with the lack of fish to catch due to climate change.
New research from the University of British Columbia in Canada shows that closing the high seas fishing industry could increase future coastal catches by 10 percent. Researchers on the project say this will help fishermen cope with the lack of fish to catch due to climate change.
William Cheung, professor of marine and fisheries studies at the University of British Columbia, Canada, pointed out that many important fish live in the high seas and coastal areas, and effective management of fish can promote the sustainable development of coastal fishing and help fishermen reduce the negative effects of climate change. influence.
The high seas are the oceans beyond the jurisdiction of any one country, covering nearly two-thirds of the ocean's surface.
The researchers used computer simulations to simulate three management models for 30 important fish species in the high seas and coastal areas in 2050:
- closing the high seas fishing industry;
- International cooperation in the management of the fishing industry;
-Maintain the status.
The researchers found that closing high-seas fishing could increase the resilience of coastal states to climate change, especially for those living in tropical countries that depend on fishing for their livelihoods. Climate change will have varying degrees of impact on the South Pacific, Indo-Pacific, West African coasts, and West Central America.
Rashid Sumaila, a professor at the Canadian Institute of Oceans and Fisheries Research, one of the project's research funders, said: "By closing the high seas fishing industry or strictly improving management practices, it can help to mitigate or facilitate the adaptation of marine biological systems to the impacts of climate change.
