The latter dominated this year\u2019s talks.<\/p>\n<p>Fishing for jumbo flying squid (Dosidicus gigas) has expanded rapidly over the past two decades. The number of squid-jigging vessels operating in SPRFMO waters rose from 14 in 2000 to more than 500 last year, almost all of them flying the Chinese flag. Meanwhile, reported catches have fallen markedly, from more than 1 million metric tons in 2014 to about 600,000 metric tons in 2024. Scientists worry that fishing pressure is outpacing knowledge of the stock. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven\u2019t covered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneier.com\/blog\/archives\/2024\/06\/new-blog-moderation-policy.html\">Blog moderation policy.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regulation is hard: The South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO) oversees fishing across roughly 59 million square kilometers (22 million square miles) of the South Pacific high seas, trying to impose order on a region double the size of Africa, where distant-water fleets pursue species ranging from jack mackerel to jumbo flying squid.
