WIOMSA has joined the American Fisheries Society (AFS) and 110 other aquatic scientific societies on a statement on the need to take urgent action against human-caused climate change, based on scientific evidence.

The societies call for drastically curtailed global greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst impacts of man-made climate change to fish and aquatic ecosystems. Unless urgent action is taken to reduce emissions, scientists predict catastrophic impacts to commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries and human health and global economies.
