Oceans VP Amanda Leland looks at a new idea that’s helping fish populations rebound while catches increase up to 40%.
By offering fishermen a financial stake in the health of fisheries, we can revive coastal communities and bring the resilient oceans back to life.
Amanda Leland VP Oceans
We're working to make an innovative tool known as catch shares the standard approach, and securing Congressional support.
Because recreational fishing accounts for up to half of the U.S catch, we're partnering directly with fisherman.
We've joined with scientists and local groups in Cuba, Belize and Mexico to save fish and corals.
87% of fisheries worldwide are fully exploited or overexploited
That's why we're working with fishermen across the country and the world to help restore our oceans.
