  • A dead fish on the shores of a beach in Funafuti. According to RNZ News in 2018, "The European Union has lifted a so-called "yellow card" it had given Tuvalu over its fisheries management. The lifting comes following improvements Tuvalu's made to fight illegal fishing. Tuvalu was issued the yellow card in December 2014, at risk of being considered a "non-cooperating country." Fish caught by vessels operating in these countries can't be imported into the EU. The European Commission said it recognised Tuvalu's progress in addressing shortcomings in its fisheries governance. It said the EU had been able to help Tuvalu combat illegal fishing through a range of measures. " Funafuti, Tuvalu. March, 2019.

  • As well as rising seas in Tuvalu, there are also other threats that lurk just offshore. In this image, South Korean fishing vessels refuel and restock as they pass by Tuvalu. The waters surounding Tuvalu are rich with marine life, but a steady stream of international fishing vessels pass through the country's waters daily, stripping sea life from the water by using bottom trawling nets which drag along the sea floor to collect fish. Other non-target species are often inevitably caught during this process. Funafuti, Tuvalu. March, 2019.
