This report indicates that ocean fishing is on an unsustainable course of rising demand and falling supply, but could yet recover. There are significant economic benefits of recovery, explored in this report. It suggests restrictions on catch, along with a proper debt financing vehicle, would assist in creating a financially viable transition scenario to sustainable oceans. A blue bond provides a more profitable route than the business-as-usual scenario, over the long-term. The report discusses how this could be created and its main features.
However, it indicates such a financing mechanism requires transparency, traceability and co-ordination. The report concludes that if the will for change is there, the prize is the ability to feed the world a healthy diet and prevent the deterioration of ocean ecosystems.
