Oceans policy and resources

For nearly two decades, EDF experts have worked hard to combat overfishing and restore the world's fisheries back to health by advocating for an approach to transform the way commercial fisheries are managed: catch shares. In short, this approach restores fish populations, benefits fishermen and strengthens fishing communities. 

Our work: Building resilient fisheries and restoring oceans to abundace

EDF  is working on the ground, domestically and abroad, to ensure that strong fisheries are rebuilt, ones that provides a stable supply of seafood while contributing to healthy and resilient ocean ecosystems. Our strategy:

• Finding ways to make sustainable fishing the most profitable way to fish
• Working for smart, non-partisan policy 
• Forging strategic and key partnerships 
• Gathering accurate data and helping to design strong systems
