Fish Dependence is the day on which imports have to be relied upon because national catches would have run out if only home-caught fish had been eaten since 1 January.

For the EU this date is currently 11th July, after which the EU depends on foreign resources

Fish dependence is a powerful concept that illustrates how far over consumption outstrips domestic resources. One way to illustrate this trend is to represent a country’s degree of self-sufficiency as a calendar day – the day in the year when a country has consumed its own supply and must begin sourcing its products from elsewhere, hence the term ‘fish dependence day’. Fish dependence day is calculated by New Economics Foundation (NEF).

Effective marine and coastal policy is critical to achieving the sustainable management of our coasts and seas – from the global ocean to our neighbourhood sea.  Yet despite much progress, developing and implementing suitable policies and management measures that effectively tackle the challenges facing our oceans and seas remains an elusive goal.

The 2^nd Marine and Coastal Policy Forum organised by the Centre for Marine and Coastal Policy Research, Plymouth University will provide an inclusive forum for policy-makers, policy-influencers, practitioners, regulators, and researchers to discuss contemporary issues surrounding marine and coastal policy with the intention of moving those issues forward through informed and critical dialogue.
