This submission draws on the Make Fishing Fair Roadmap, endorsed by 28 small-scale fishing organisations and nearly 20 NGOs across the EU. Current EU ocean governance remains fragmented across fisheries, environment, climate and maritime policies, resulting in inconsistent implementation, weak social outcomes, and limited participation of coastal communities.
