OECD Review of Fisheries 2020
The OECD Review of Fisheries 2020 aims to support policy makers and sector stakeholders in their efforts to deliver sustainable and resilient fisheries that can provide jobs, food, and livelihoods for future generations. The Review updates and analyses the OECD fisheries support estimate (FSE) database, the most comprehensive, detailed, and consistent collection of country level data on governments support to fisheries. It also presents and analyses newly-assembled data on the health of fish stocks; on the management of key stocks of commercial interest; and on the governance of fisheries across OECD countries and emerging economies with large fishing sectors. The report sheds light on how governments are managing fisheries to minimise detrimental impacts on resources and ecosystems, eliminate illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, while increasing the socio-economic benefits from fishing. It suggests priorities for action both at the national level and for the international community.

Overview and key results of the Review of Fisheries 2020
Fisheries have a fundamental role in feeding the global population, and creating jobs and resilience in coastal communities. However, fish stocks must be managed sustainably in order to meet these socio-economic goals while preserving aquatic and ocean biodiversity and the provision of the ecosystem services on which the “blue economy” relies. Based on the latest available data reported by OECD countries and partner economies, the Review of Fisheries 2020 sheds light on how governments are addressing the key challenges faced by their fisheries and suggests priorities for action both at the national level and for the international community. This chapter discusses its main findings.
