FINALLY! A @wto #FisheriesSubsidies Agreement 🐟! Thanks to @WillsSantiago and @NOIweala‘s leadership the groundwork to #StopFundingOverfishing has been laid. And +20 years of tiredless efforts by so many at political level and behind the scenes paid off. 🌊 #OceanOptimism #MC12

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

"Fish are essential for survival. They support robust livelihoods, provide protein and nutrition, contribute to food security, and anchor centuries-old cultures and traditions.
But all of that is at risk."

Powerful call to #StopFundingOverfishing and land the @wto agreement.

[Pew Europe @PewEurope]

Thank you, @NOIweala, for your unwavering support in finalizing new @WTO rules to #StopFundingOverfishing!

Curbing harmful fisheries subsidies can prevent the overexploitation of marine resources, protecting the livelihoods of fishers around the world. #WTOPublicForum

[Kathryn Prater Bomey @KathrynBomey]

Thank you to moderator @REUTERSFARGE and panelists @HollWWF, @LukeDaunivalu, @Sergeraemaekers, and @ashokadiceam for an amazing #WTOPublicForum panel that helped attendees understand how important it is for @wto members to finalize new global rules to #StopFundingOverfishing.

Let's Go, @wto! Don’t let the sun set on our chance to #StopFundingOverfishing. Join our discussion today on how fisheries subsidies affect our societies and ocean health. #WTOPublicForum

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

At this #WTOPublicForum, let’s remind @WTO members to strengthen the deal to #StopFundingOverfishing.

[Ernesto Fernandez Monge @Ernesto_FerMon]

Curbing harmful #fisheriessubsidies can make a real difference to both the sustainable exploitation of fish stocks and the healthy economic development of fishing communities around the world.

[Peter Ungphakorn (also @coppetainpu.bsky.social) @CoppetainPU]

The attempt to agree before the summer break on curbing the most harmful fisheries subsidies has failed in the WTO General Council, with India taking most of the blame.

Sad words from Barbados. Scathing comment from the US

[Colombia OMC/WTO @Colombia_OMC]

En el Consejo General, Colombia reiteró la importancia de concluir las negociaciones sobre las disposiciones adicionales al Acuerdo sobre Subvenciones a la Pesca, las cuales tendrán un impacto significativo en la protección de los océanos y la biodiversidad.

[Peter Ungphakorn (also @coppetainpu.bsky.social) @CoppetainPU]

And he warned that the deadlock is already damaging global fish stocks.

(MC12 is the 2022 Geneva Ministerial Conference where a partial agreement was reached on curbing harmful fisheries subsidies. Ministers also set the mandate for present talks)

Getting closer to a #FisheriesSubsidies deal: @einar_gunn released a draft of additional @wto rules to #StopFundingOverfishing. WTO members must agree on those rules this month to protect fish populations from irresponsible fishing.

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

@WWF to ICJ: #biodiversity loss impacts our ability to mitigate the effects of #climatechange. Marine ecosystems play a significant role in the removal and sequestration of CO2 & can reduce risks from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.

[Ernesto Fernandez Monge @Ernesto_FerMon]

Members of the @wto the Ocean needs you. #StopFundingOverfishing. They must finalize the negotiations as soon as possible to curb harmful subsidies and protect the ocean for those who need it. This video explains why: https://t.co/25yreLjmEb

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

🐟 It's encouraging to see a new @wto draft text on additional rules curbing harmful #fishingsubsidies.
⏱️ Members must take action now & conclude a deal by the next General Council to #StopFundingOverfishing.

Great to see countries slowly - but surely - ratifying the WTO Fisheries Treaty!

With a few dozen more ratifications, this treaty will go into force: A huge win for our oceans, and also the very first SDG target to be reached!
