Report: China's Squid Fishing Fleet Has Discovered the Indian Ocean | HALIEUTIQUE MER ET LITTORAL | Scoop.it

A new report from the World Wildlife Fund and shipping data firm Trygg Mat Tracking shows that unregulated fishing on the high seas of the Indian Ocean is on the rise. The Indian Ocean accounts for over 14 percent of global wild-caught fish, and commercial fishing data shows that 30 percent of the assessed stocks in the region are already overfished. The new WWF report shows that unregulated fishing, which is not factored into the 30 percent calculation, is increasing in intensity.
