Global seafood markets are shaped by a complex interplay of economic forces, regulatory frameworks, and international trade dynamics. Fisheries economics, trade, & policy examines how pricing, subsidies, and supply chain efficiencies impact the sustainability and profitability of the fisheries sector. Market fluctuations, influenced by climate change, consumer demand, and geopolitical factors, create challenges for fishers, processors, and exporters. Trade agreements and tariffs play a critical role in determining market access, while certification programs and eco-labeling initiatives influence consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood. Effective policies are essential for balancing economic growth with resource conservation, ensuring that fishing communities thrive without depleting stocks. Emerging financial models, such as blue bonds and impact investments, are driving innovation in sustainable fisheries management. As the industry evolves, data-driven policymaking and international cooperation will be key to addressing overfishing, ensuring fair trade practices, and securing long-term economic viability.
