WTO deal is within reach to remove harmful fishing subsidies and halt global fish meltdown

Every year, governments around the world pump $22 billion of public money into efforts that encourage overfishing.
SDG 14 has explicit target to eliminate such harmful fisheries subsidies by 2020 through the conclusion of WTO negotiations that began 20 years ago.
Under its new Director General, the WTO is within reach of a deal that will bring immense benefit for ocean life of both the human and aquatic kinds.
