In terms of the analysis of subsidies, the report,Improving our knowledge on small-scale fisheries: data needs and methodologies made available online argues that while small-scale fisheries land up to an estimated 50 percent of global landings, employ over 22 million people globally and directly support food security for millions of people, only 16 percent of the estimated global fisheries subsidies of US$35 billion in 2009 were provided to the sector. Furthermore, subsidies that stimulate overcapacity go overwhelmingly to large-scale fisheries. This skewed allocation of the bulk of subsidies to the large-scale sector is detrimental to small-scale fisheries, as it makes them less viable economically. The report argues that efforts should be made in both large-scale and small-scale fisheries to convert capacity-enhancing (harmful) subsidies to beneficial ones, i.e. those that focus on social and ecological sustainability and ecosystem restoration. Such action will benefit global fisheries in the long run, making them more economically viable while also being a beneficial way to spend taxpayer money.
