On Season 6 of The Catch, host Ruxandra Guidi takes a look at one of the world’s most lucrative fish: tuna. The Pacific islands’ tuna fishery makes up more than half of global tuna supply and underpins these developing islands’ economies. But that could change. Climate change is pushing the fishery out of these islands’ waters, onto the high seas, and these island nations risk losing out. On this season, Guidi reports from the Solomon Islands to hear firsthand how the Pacific nations are grappling with these changes.

Small pelagic fish off the West African coast are being scooped up in large numbers and ground into a product called fishmeal. This fishmeal is then used to support animal production and aquafarms around the world.
How is this industry impacting local fishers? And what does this mean for the global supply chain? Host Ruxandra Guidi partners with Gambian reporter Mustapha Manneh to look at fishmeal production in both the Gambia and Senegal for Season 5 of The Catch. Other voices in this episode include Sally Yozell, Senior Fellow and Director of the Environmental Security program at the Stimson Center and Dr. Ensa Touray, a historian at the University of The Gambia.
