New research highlights the critical contributions of small-scale fishers to global food security and ocean health. Analyzing data from 58 countries, the study reveals that these fishers account for approximately 40% of the world's fish catch, supplying food to about 25% of the global population. This hidden workforce plays an essential role in sustainable fishing and environmental preservation. Researchers hope that these findings will amplify the voices of small-scale fishers in discussions about sustainable fishing practices essential for the future of global food supply.
The contributions of small-scale fishers, often labeled 'invisible', play a crucial role in sustainable fishing, providing around 40% of global catch and feeding 25% of the population.
Data collection from 58 countries highlights the significance of small-scale fisheries not just in food provision, but also in ocean protection, advocating for their inclusion in sustainable practices.
