This setback extends the WTO’s two-decade-long streak of failing to prohibit harmful subsidies, a commitment it first took up at the 2001 Doha Ministerial Conference.
Oceana’s Senior Analyst Dr. Daniel Skerritt says, “This outcome is not just disappointing; it’s a dire blow to global marine biodiversity.
Our governments are failing to look beyond their own short-term self-interest, prioritizing political posturing above reaching an agreement that would benefit everyone.
To date, 70 members have accepted the Fisheries Subsidies Agreement, meaning 40 acceptances remain for the agreement to enter into force.

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Oceana-supported research , published in Marine Policy, finds harmful fisheries subsidies from wealthy nations like China, Spain, and the United States are disproportionately impacting poorer nations like Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, and Namibia that depend on fish for food security and livelihoods.
More than 40% of the harmful subsidies that support fishing in "very poor” nations, as measured by the Human Development Index, originate from the wealthiest fishing nations.
“This subsidized overfishing is damaging poorer nations’ fisheries at a time when climate change has already placed billions of people at risk of food and economic insecurity.”
The study comes as the World Trade Organization (WTO) restarts negotiations to curb the provision of harmful fisheries subsidies.
The authors encourage the nations most impacted by subsidized fishing to strengthen and enforce rules of access to their waters.
