Opportunities, challenges and considerations for the transition of fishing fleets

Overall, a balanced approach is needed to encourage trade and investment in a suitable energy mix and in the incremental adoption and use of renewable and energy efficient technologies. This approach should support the sustainable development of fisheries and the seafood industry. It should also ensure that the renewable energy transition and decarbonization of fishing fleets provide equitable economic, environmental and social benefits along the value chain and throughout the entire economy. The energy transition must also ensure that the costs and benefits of a world powered by renewable energy are fairly distributed.
