Developing Impact Investment Opportunities for Return-Seeking Capital in Sustainable Marine Capture Fisheries

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimates that fisheries and aquaculture assure the livelihoods of 10 to 12 percent of the world’s population, with more than 90 percent of those employed by capture fisheries workin...
