🦑 Unregulated squid fishing on the high seas is out of control - #COFI37 was an important opportunity to fix this blind spot.

Progress was made to address illegal, unreported and unregulated #IUU fishing.

It’s been a busy month for fisheries governance! 🐟 In the article below, WWF’s Marina Gomei shares her reflections from #SSFSummit2026 and #COFI37, where one message stood out: it’s time to turn commitments into concrete action. 💪🌍

Great Pacific and NZ group at FAO #COFI37, and with excellent chairing by Adam Berry (next to me) sometimes under very difficult ideologically charged circumstances. Absolute legend!

How can we better understand the financial performance of fishing fleets?

A new @fao.org methodology provides harmonized indicators, practical guidance & tools to produce reliable, internationally comparable financial performance assessments.

Ahead of #COFI37, the #SSFSummit2026 highlighted key priorities for small-scale fishers: stronger fisher voices, opportunities for youth, action on climate change, recognition of women’s contributions and urgent implementation of the #SSFGuidelines. Governments must act now. 🌊

At #COFI37 in Rome, WorldFish is bringing evidence from 30+ countries to the global fisheries and aquaculture agenda, highlighting putting nutrition alongside production, closing evidence gaps, connecting fisheries and aquaculture, and recognizing aquatic foods as part of the climate solution.

Absolutely stoked for my young colleague and friend Melvin Silk, the Fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance of MIMRA tackling all issues at the FAO #COFI37 here in Rome. Totally proud of supporting him here

We’re on the ground at the 37th session of the Committee on Fisheries #COFI37 in Rome, calling for delegates to turn their discussions into real action to fix the glaring regulatory blind spot on the high seas.

🧵At #COFI37 in Rome, governments have a chance to move beyond simply naming #IUUfishing as a problem and get more specific about unregulated, the third U of the equation. That means clarifying flag, port and coastal State responsibilities.

🌊🐟 As #COFI37 starts, Changing Markets Foundation report reveals @fao.org aquaculture plans could see 46% of wild-caught fish turned into FEED for farmed fish: a threat to ecosystems AND food for vulnerable coastal communities. Is this 'food security'?
