Minderoo’s Global Fishing Index is an ongoing, independent, global study that tracks national-level progress towards ending overfishing in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The Index tracks both health of fish stocks and fisheries governance systems in nearly 150 maritime countries and areas. The Governance Index characterises each country’s fisheries governance across 83 indicators and six dimensions that have been identified in the scientific literature and by fisheries experts as key for constraining overfishing in national waters. This unique global dataset will increase transparency, data availability and accountability across the fisheries sector and is due to launch in early 2021.
