Under our Marine programme, we support initiatives that work to halt and restore declining fish stocks by: Stopping destructive and illegal fishing. Supporting sustainable and small-scale fisheries. Preference will be given to initiatives working to influence fisheries policy, projects that halt the decline of fish stocks that communities in the “Global South” [sic] rely on, and those working to bring about sustainable fisheries in Wales.
N.B. The Global South/Global North terms are inaccurate and misleading. First, they are descriptively inaccurate, even when they refer to general notions such as (economic) development. Second, they are homogenizing, obscuring important differences between countries supposedly part of the Global South and North groups. In this respect, these terms are no better than alternatives that they are trying to replace, such as ‘the West‘ or the ‘Third World‘. Third, the Global South/Global North terms imply a geographic determinism that is wrong and demotivational. Poor countries are not doomed to be poor, because they happen to be in the South, and their geographic position is not a verdict on their developmental prospects. The correct terms are low or medium-income countries.
