Andrew Sharpless: – working with Bloomberg. And then I went away and I thought about a conversation I had had in Geneva with the Ambassador to the World Trade Organization, Mr. He listened to me very respectfully talk about how there were all kinds of measures of serious problems in the ocean.
And it turned into specific in my experience the way the more components of this effort actually work in tandem to have a greater effect
And he essentially told you… we have an excellent billion people in Asia to feed. The west could have been overfishing the fresh seas for a long period. We’re going to rating our change. And that i left effect that we got really mishandled the newest meeting. Right here, I experienced a message which was that we have even more food away from a wealthy water. I had totally failed to make your remember that lead to he heard me personally providing the style of traditional conservation content that is an essential that but it’s simply just about biodiversity shelter.
You to definitely forced me to understand, better, waiting one minute, we can level whatever you are doing within the a systematic metric the eating value of good reconstructed sea, meals investment out of reconstructed sea. Exactly how many delicacies could i supply off an effective reconstructed ocean? We named Bloomberg support and i also told you, hold off one minute, we have an alternate tip. And you may why don’t we discuss this dinner, the food metric.
Melissa Wright: You were able to bring back that epiphany and help develop what’s now a 3-country effort around overfishing. And I saw this work in action and in a recent trip to Brazil and was so impressed and inspired. And one of the side trips that we went on when I was in Brazil was to Itajai, and which I understand is one of the largest commercial fishing ports in Brazil.
Andrew Sharpless: They’re surprising big, aren’t they? I mean you – the audience should understand we’re not talking about like two guys in a little, you know, 15-foot skiff trГ¤ffa Belizian kvinnor.
Melissa Wright: And Monica, the Brazilian rep from Oceana was telling me about how there was a lack of information, now, about what those boats are bringing in, which species, how much, when, and where they’ve been fishing because the country stopped monitoring their landings or their catch a few years ago. Can you speak to what impact that has had on the fisheries in Brazil and the work of Oceana?
Andrew Sharpless: So I’ve taken that same trip with you and it’s very impressive. The scale of our ability to catch ocean fish is enormous. And you see it as you go down that river and you’ll see these vessels that are stories and stories high – four or five or six stories high. So amazingly Brazil has collected no data on its own fisheries since 2008. Brazil’s had a kind of a budget crisis in that year. One of the ways they saved money was by cancelling all data collection efforts on fishery catches.

And so working with, you are sure that, our very own people here we’re now meeting landings data within the an specialized and you can credible method and you will reporting one up. Plus they are now meeting data for the on the 40% of complete fishery catch.
Andrew Sharpless: Yeah. Which is a pretty basic step, we can all see how that starts to set the conditions for, you know, scientific and sensible management. We’ve just launched together with this little enterprise called Google, and Sky Truth, an NGO, is our other partner. It’s called Global Fishing Watch. And your listeners can go to .
