READ: Oceana's Daniel Skerritt, @acschuhbauer, Oceana Board Member Rashid Sumaila, & others are showing how subsidized distant-water fishing fleets unfairly impact other nations. WTO must act to prohibit ALL harmful fishing subsidies and support sustainable & fair fisheries.

Great to meet filipino fishers working in DW #fisheries but a long way to go for fair pay & treatment. 2 years without port visits, no communication with home and 450-600$US a month despite many years of experience International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) with Stella Maris in Manila #justiceforfishers

Our study revealing the scale of UK fuel tax concessions in the media… Fuel subsidies will be removed at some point, they work against our emission targets.

.WTO is closing in on a second attempt to reduce subsidies that deplete global fishing stocks. Oceana's Daniel Skerritt says this is a potentially strong update if no loopholes are available for big distant-water fishing nations | Via POLITICO subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/0…

Big disappointment, @WTO could not reach an agreement to beef up its 2022 agreement, something desparately needed to protect depleting fish stocks. check out this comment: oceana.org/press-releases… Oceana Pew Environment UBC Oceans (also found at ubcoceans.bsky.social) UBC SPPGA
