This World Oceans Day, join Ocean Wise on a deep dive into overfishing – one of the greatest threats facing our ocean. Over three billion people around the globe depend on seafood as an important source of protein, however, roughly a third of the world’s fish stocks are considered overfished. Additionally, annual fish consumption has been steadily on the rise since the 1960s reaching over 22kg per person in 2020. It is now abundantly clear that resources from our world’s oceans are not as unlimited as we once thought. By choosing to eat sustainable seafood you can help relieve the pressure on overfished species and habitats. This ensures that we will be able to continue to enjoy seafood for generations to come. Join Sophika Kostyniuk, Director of Fisheries & Seafood and Lasse Gustavsson, CEO of Ocean Wise to learn about the issues and actionable solutions you can take to make a positive contribution to ocean health.
