A perfect storm: how the super El Niño is devastating the fishing industry

The Peruvian government has suspended the fishing season for anchoveta, a crucial catch that makes up about a tenth of the global commercial fishing catch. This decision is devastating for the fishing industry, as anchoveta is a vital source of income for many people. The closure is a result of a combination of factors, including overfishing and the impact of a super El Niño event, which is warming the seas and making it difficult for the fish to survive.

Why it matters

Peru's anchoveta fishing industry is being devastated by the super El Niño, which could lead to a decline in fish stocks and impact the livelihoods of people dependent on the industry. This could have a ripple effect on the broader economy and food security
