Wild‐caught fish account for approximately one‐half of all seafood consumed globally, yet there is strong evidence that improved science and management are needed to ensure the biological, economic, and social sustainability of this critical food source. Presently, insufficient resources are allocated to achieve such sustainability, but conservation finance offers promising new sources of funding for this necessary endeavor. We surveyed the most recent literature on conservation finance and interviewed practitioners to identify key obstacles and solutions to advancing fisheries conservation investments. We found that obstacles constraining these investments are also common in other, more mature conservation sectors. Solutions developed in these sectors – namely, capacity building, novel investment vehicles, increased communication among stakeholders, and better metrics – could help to overcome barriers to investment. As fisheries sustainability improvements require cooperation across the sciences, business, and finance communities, we hope this article will spur interest among these diverse stakeholders and catalyze fisheries conservation investment.

催化渔业保护投资

捕捞野生鱼类约占全球海产品消费总量的一半，但是有充分的证据表明，需要改进科学和管理来确保这种重要食物来源的生物，经济和社会可持续性。目前，没有足够的资源分配来实现这种可持续性，但是保护资金为这一必要的努力提供了有希望的新资金来源。我们调查了有关保护财政的最新文献，并采访了从业人员，以确定促进渔业保护投资的主要障碍和解决方案。我们发现，限制这些投资的障碍在其他更成熟的保护部门中也很常见。这些领域开发的解决方案–能力建设，新颖的投资工具，加强利益相关者之间的沟通和更好的指标–可以帮助克服投资障碍。鉴于渔业可持续发展的改善需要科学，商业和金融界之间的合作，我们希望本文能够激发这些不同利益相关者的兴趣，并促进渔业保护投资。
