To prevent the collapse of wild fishing stocks and preserve ecological sustainability, states will need to expand oversight, increase compliance with international agreements, and recognize a lower carrying capacity within their fisheries.
 

The proportion of wild fishery stocks exploited at biologically unsustainable levels has been increasing for the past four decades. As measured by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) across their 17 Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), 35.4% of managed fisheries were considered to be unsustainably exploited in 2019.
