- 5Ecuador's Tuna Fishermen Pulled Into Deadly Drug War●In the World's Tuna Capital, Fishermen Are Being Drawn Into a Deadly Drug War https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/ecuador
In Manta, Ecuador — known as the world's tuna capital — fishermen are being recruited or coerced into drug trafficking, fueling a deadly wave of violence along the coast. Cartels are using fishing boats to move cocaine, and crews who refuse face lethal consequences. The Wall Street Journal's report on how the drug war has reached the fishing industry is drawing wide attention.
- 6Europe's marine heatwaves put fisheries under strain●How Europe’s intensifying marine heatwaves threaten its fisheries
Europe is experiencing increasingly intense marine heatwaves, and Reuters reports on the growing threat they pose to the continent's fisheries. Warming sea temperatures can disrupt fish stocks, push species toward cooler waters and reduce catches, hitting fishing communities and coastal economies. The report adds to wider concern over how climate change is reshaping oceans and the industries that depend on them.
- 7Why marine protected areas alone won't save the ocean▼30x30: Why declaring marine protected areas is not enough
The 30x30 goal—protecting 30% of the world's land and ocean by 2030—is under scrutiny as experts argue that simply designating marine protected areas does not guarantee effective conservation. Commentators highlight that many existing reserves lack enforcement, funding and management, allowing damaging activities such as illegal fishing to continue, and call for genuine implementation rather than paper parks.
- 8US strikes on Ecuadorian fishing boats draw humanitarian criticism▼US strikes on Ecuadorian fishing boats raise humanitarian concerns but Trump admin not wavering
The US has carried out strikes on Ecuadorian fishing boats, prompting humanitarian concerns from critics and observers. The Trump administration has indicated it will not change course despite the backlash.

- 9Norway Creates Its Largest Marine Protected Area●Norway has created its largest marine protected area, covering 1,848 km² of coral reefs, sponge gardens and fish nurseri
Norway has designated its largest marine protected area, covering 1,848 square kilometres of coral reefs, sponge gardens and fish nurseries. The move lifts formally protected waters from 4.8% to 6% of Norwegian territory. Discussion has focused on reports that the government drew the boundary around its salmon farms rather than through them, raising questions about how much industrial activity the new protections actually restrict.
- 10Oceana study links fairer fishing access to West Africa nutrition●More equitable fishing access agreements could help address malnutrition in West Africa, Oceana-led study finds
A study led by the conservation group Oceana concludes that more equitable fishing access agreements could help tackle malnutrition in West Africa. The findings suggest that how foreign fishing rights are negotiated shapes how much fish remains available to local communities, whose diets depend heavily on seafood. The report is drawing attention among food security and fisheries policy observers.
- 11Bottom Trawling and Deep-Sea Mining Share the Same Threat●What makes bottom trawling and proposed deep-sea mining twin horrors is that same fundamental mechanism: taking ecosyste
An argument gaining traction holds that bottom trawling and proposed deep-sea mining are 'twin horrors' because both exploit ecosystems that operate on geological timescales. Corals grow millimeters a year and ocean currents take centuries to settle sediment, so habitats destroyed by these activities may never recover on human timescales. The comparison is being used to press for stronger protection of the ocean floor before deep-sea mining moves forward.
