THE SECTOR
The fisheries sector plays a vital role in global food security, economic development, and the sustainable management of marine ecosystems. Despite being a key contributor to the economy, the sector faces increasing challenges related to overfishing, climate change, and spatial competition and regulatory pressures. As demand for sustainable seafood grows, fishing businesses must navigate complex issues such as sustainable resource management and environmental impact, managing other ocean stakeholders, increasing NGO, financier, regulator and customer scrutiny, and a growing reporting and regulatory compliance overhead.
