Ending Overfishing

According to the United Nations, over 70% of the world's fisheries are either 'fully exploited', 'over exploited' or significantly depleted'. Some species have already been fished to commercial extinction, and more are on the verge of extinction.

Overfishing Needs To End

This video from OCEAN2012, explains the reasons why overfishing needs to end and shows that there is still a chance to protect marine wildlife.

Quella della pesca eccessiva è un'emergenza cui bisogna rispondere subito. Con forza. Ocean2012 lo fa. Aiutiamoli a riuscirci.

For once, instead of talking about yachts, we'd rather promote another marine issue; one which concerns us all

European Fish Weeks 2012

End overfishing or fishing will be over!

Deutsch  English  Español  Français  ελληνικά - Greek  Italiano  Nederlands  Polski  Português

Overfishing is emptying the oceans of fish. This summer, European Fish Weeks is the opportunity to tell politicians to, “end overfishing or fishing will be over". Politicians are responsible for making the decisions that will end overfishing; citizens have the responsibility to encourage and support them in making these decisions. European Fish Weeks is an opportunity to make your voice heard.

Get involved

EU fisheries can be fixed and you can be part of the solution. Make your voice heard by getting involved in Fish Weeks activities near you. Events are listed below and in our events section (on a Google map). 

You can also organise your own event and create a human fish shape to end overfishing. For some creative ideas on what to do, download the fish shape and description.

If you or your organisation are interested in participating in Fish Weeks, or would like more information about joining OCEAN2012, please contact Kelly Agathos, [phone].

Find out more about OCEAN2012 in our identity leaflet and how overfishing impacts you in this series of OCEAN2012 briefings.
