The Truth About Global Fisheries: Collapse or Comeback?
Are the world’s fisheries on the brink of collapse, or are we actually seeing signs of recovery?
In this episode, we cut through the noise and unpack the real state of global fisheries. You’ll learn:
- The crucial difference between “overfishing” and “overfished” (and why it matters).
- Why one-size-fits-all solutions like Marine Protected Areas often miss the mark.
- How targeted, science-driven management has sparked surprising recoveries, from bluefin tuna to reduced bycatch.
- Why some regions still face dangerous levels of collapse—and how climate change, pollution, and illegal fishing complicate the picture.
- The path forward: balancing ecology with human livelihoods to build lasting solutions.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the oceans are truly running out of fish—or if that’s just a media myth, this episode brings clarity. The truth is complex. Some fisheries are rebounding, others are collapsing, and the future depends on precision strategy, not empty slogans.
Listen now to AI Lourdes and decide for yourself: Are our oceans collapsing, recovering, or both at the same time?
