But science-based catch limits, like Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY), have helped stocks recover in the EU and Norway. We need this approach everywhere. 🌊 #OceanScience #SustainableFishing #marinelife
However, we have to note that EU approach hasn't been perfect. It's certainly on the right path but EU nations such as Greece, Spain and Italy still overfish the mediterranean sea. This is very urgent problem they should tackle with strict enforcement and immediate action as mediterranean is the most overfished sea.
