Fishing is an important source of wealth for many developing countries. However, the fish stocks of many countries are seriously threatened by overfishing.
By promoting responsible consumption practices and supporting conservation initiatives, we can help ensure a future where fishing continues to be a source of prosperity without compromising the health of our oceans.
The projects that caught our attention perfectly combine the four pillars of sustainable development:
economic, social, environmental and institutional.
Combating the destruction of the oceans, climate and small-scale fishers is crucial. Protecting marine ecosystems is more important than ever. The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission recently partially banned Fish Aggregating Devices, a highly destructive fishing method.
MSC provides grants for ocean biodiversity and bycatch reduction projects. Sustainable fishing protects habitats and threatened species, allowing fishermen to maintain their livelihoods.
Responsible travel in the Indian Ocean allows you to discover this region, as well as its people and culture, in an authentic way. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the way of life of the inhabitants and deepen your knowledge of the neighboring countries.
