Without subsidies, high-seas fisheries would not be financially viable. We are proposing that subsidies be capped immediately and eliminated within five years, and that countries be fully transparent about all fishing subsidies, about 60% of which directly encourage unsustainable practices.
尽管已处于过度捕捞状态，但一小撮国家——包括美国、日本和中国，以及欧盟——仍有意识地支持工业公海捕捞。若无补贴，公海捕鱼作业根本无利可图。我们建议立刻限制公海捕鱼补贴并在五年内取消这项补贴，各国的渔业补贴应该完全透明，并将60%左右用于直接鼓励可持续渔业作业。
