Abstract

Clear prohibitions against subsidies driving overfishing and excessive fishing capacity, such as those reducing fuel and vessel construction costs or artificially inflating market prices6, are crucial (Fig. 1). Harmful subsidies in 2018 by leading Distance-Water Fishing (DWF) nation/political entities targeting fish in the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of other countries or the high seas (data source www.dwfsubsidyatlas.org). [...]we want to thank the Pew Charitable Trusts for their support of our (UBC’s Fisheries Economics Research Unit) research on the impacts of harmful fisheries subsidies. Updated estimates and analysis of global fisheries subsidies.
