This is a horrendous political (not scientific) decision. After dangling rights before them under the #SmallScaleFishers policy for 14 years, this sector is about to be *even further* impoverished. This is a low-impact, handline sector that supports whole communities, materially and culturally.

Governments can protect marine environments by supporting small-scale fishing Nearly 30 per cent of the world’s population lives in coastal areas. A changing climate and biodiversity loss represent an unprecedented threat to these ecosystems.

One in 12 people globally depend on small-scale fishing for their livelihoods

This week at #COP30, our message is clear: protect the ocean by empowering those who've stewarded it for generations.

(1/5) In fact, most fishers in Nayarit heavily rely on a 'patron' to operate, gain permits, and sell their catch. The study highlights the challenges policy needs to address to sustain the sector️❗
