Overfishing is the practice of catching more fish than the oceans can sustain, depleting fish populations.
In the UAE many species are being taken out beyond sustainable levels. Studies show that the overall number of commercial fish in the country has declined by 80% in the last 30 years.
Emirates Wildlife Society, in association with the WWF (EWS-WWF), has produced this consumer guide to UAE fish to help you make informed choices.
By choosing to buy sustainable fish only, we can lower the demand for overfished species.Take action now to protect our resources for the future.
