“…Combining data on dietary nutrition, and fish catch, we predict that more than 10 percent of the global population could face micronutrient and fatty-acid deficiencies driven by fish declines over the coming decades … This … underlines the need for nutrition-sensitive fisheries policies. … Mitigating losses of biodiversity and income have been at the heart of fisheries-management policies. In our view, there should be a much stronger emphasis on human health. … These policy changes are possible. We believe that improvements in fisheries management and marine conservation can serve as nutritional delivery mechanisms. … Without [management reforms to global fisheries], the health of the poor is at risk” (6/15).
