Fisheries subsidies are at the heart of one of the most important global trade agreements for the ocean. In this episode, I sit down with Dan Skeritt to break down the World Trade Organization's new Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, discuss why it matters, and explore its implications for countries around the world. We explore how harmful subsidies have fueled overfishing, why some countries still haven't ratified the deal, and how this agreement could shift billions of dollars toward sustainability.
Fisheries subsidies remain a complex and contentious issue, but this conversation provides clarity and perspective from someone who has followed the negotiations closely. Dan offers insider insights into what's in the agreement, where the gaps remain, and how developing nations can be supported to meet their commitments. If you care about the future of ocean governance, sustainable fisheries, and global cooperation, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
