Description
Are the oceans being emptied out by overfishing or are fish stocks recovering thanks to recent efforts to strengthen the sustainability of harvests? And who gets to decide? On this episode, Suzanne ludicello, a founding board member of the National Fisheries Conservation Center, talks with Brad Warren about a tool she co-developed with a team at the leading marine resource consultancy MRAG Americas. It is designed to enable nations and fisheries (and others) to rigorously gauge their own performance in governing fisheries. Commissioned by the Walton Family Foundation, the Fisheries Governance Tool (FGT) “puts power in the hands of managing agencies, environmental organizations, funders/investors, and other key stakeholders,” according to the MRAG team. Iudicello offers an inside story about why this tool seeks to enable people close to the resource to set their own goals and judge their own progress. Learn about this innovativeness approach to fisheries assessment. Only on ASPN!
