What we're doing. Addressing the problem WWF is working with a variety of stakeholders to reform fisheries management around the world. Striving for sustainable waters Australia has a global reputation for good environmental management, but some of our fisheries, including those that access the Great Barrier Reef, are not well managed.
A vision for our Reef WWF-Australia has coordinated the development of a new vision for the Reef's fisheries with the support of local environmental groups, recreational fishing groups, commercial fishing associations, fishing tackle industry representatives and scientists. How you can help. Recommended reading.
Food Wild Seafood WWF is helping to maintain productive fisheries, marine habitats and local livelihoods. Patagonian toothfish or Chilean seabass is a good example of how fisheries are driving out IUU.
For many years, uncontrolled IUU fishing was contributing to the decline of this high-value species. This has led to a significant recovery of the stocks and contributed to MSC certification of the fisheries. Find out more about toothfish. The Marine Stewardship Council set standards for sustainable fishing and traceability within the seafood supply chain.
When you shop for seafood, look for the MSC blue fish tick label. This means seafood can be traced back to an MSC certified sustainable fishery. Find out more about practical solutions to tackle overfishing. Our approach means everyone can play a part in that future while enjoying seafood, not avoiding it.
For more than 20 years fisheries, scientists, consumers and industry have been part of a collective effort to make sure our oceans are fished sustainably. Sustainable fishing means leaving enough fish in the ocean, respecting habitats and ensuring people who depend on fishing can maintain their livelihoods. A Lack of Fish Population Data can Lead to Overfishing Understanding stock status requires regular scientific monitoring of the fish populations being harvested.
Effective Management, Monitoring and Enforcement are Crucial Economic incentives catch more to make more and the lack of effective management can lead to overfishing.
