Planet Tracker – Blue Recovery Bond

In many cases, overfishing occurs because fishing companies are financially incentivized to fish as much as they legally can. But what if these incentives were reversed? Planet Tracker’s award-winning ‘Blue Recovery Bond’ concept shows that paying fishing companies to fish less could be both financially and environmentally rewarding. In collaboration with MarFishEco, Planet Tracker has now developed a detailed methodology to identify the areas where this concept could be piloted at commercial scales, and will reveal some examples of areas where investors could fund a blue recovery.
