Fish are disappearing from the oceans, and fishers in developing countries are hauling in empty nets--all because of massive overfishing by rich countries, fueled by billions in subsidies every year. It's unfair trade, and it's killing the oceans. Already, 90% of big fish like tuna and marlin are gone. If nothing change, many fish populations will collapse beyond recovery--destroying ecosystems and harming the one billion humans who rely on fish as their main source of protein. Next month, the WTO will come forward with a new proposal for global fishing rules. This month, the WTO is talking to finance ministers around the world about what those rules should be. That gives us a critical window to make a stand--to tell our trade ministers to oppose the subsidized overfishing and support fairness and sustainability for generations to come.
