A new report from the Pew Research Center emphasizes the need for a multi-species approach to managing fish stocks in the North Atlantic, holding northern European and Nordic countries accountable for overfishing and the resulting decline in biodiversity. The report calls for the adoption of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), a method that considers the needs of target species, their prey, predators, and habitat. The decline of mackerel and herring, influenced by climate change and overfishing, is used to highlight the shortcomings of single-species conservation approaches. The authors plan to advocate for EBFM at the forthcoming Northeast Atlantic Fisheries Commission meeting.

A new report from the Pew Research Center has argued that a multi-species approach to fish stock management is necessary to address the North Atlantic’s declining fish stocks. The report, co-authored by Pew International Fisheries Manager Jean-Christophe Vandevelde and Pew International Fisheries Officer Daniel Steadman, placed blame for falling fish stocks squarely on overfishing permitted by the northern European and Nordic countries which manage the fisheries in the region, which include the E.U., Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and the U.K."These governments have not only failed in their obligations under the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement to sustainably manage these fish; they are also jeopardizing predators such as seabirds, whales, and porpoises that may no longer have enough food in the water to keep their populations healthy," the report said. "As a result, regional governments are nowhere near meeting the biodiversity targets they agreed [to] ...
