WHY SUSTAINABLE

Ocean Sustainability is crucial for our survival – it aligns with development goals.

With 60% of the global population residing near coasts, millions rely on oceans for livelihoods and food. But, unsustainable practices threaten marine ecosystems.

Demand for seafood surges, straining fish stocks. Aquaculture helps but must be sustainable to prevent harm.

Illegal fishing is rampant, impacting both the environment and society.

Global trade further burdens oceans, causing pollution and endangering marine life.

To tackle these challenges, action is imperative.

UN Sustainable Development Goals highlight the urgency of marine conservation. Friend of the Sea supports these goals through its Sustainable fishing and certification schemes.
