Over USD 10 billion in public money goes to support fisheries every year. Investment in assessing and ensuring fish stock health is beneficial to the industry and contributes to a sustainable ocean economy. But some support also drives unsustainable fishing practices. There is scope to improve fisheries support policy mixes to better support fishers in need, increase fishing productivity, and minimise the risk of harming fish stocks and ecosystems at the same time.
