The term 'grabbing oceans' aims to shed new light on a number of important processes and dynamics that are negatively affecting people servicon and communities whose livelihoods, cultural identity and livelihoods depend on their participation in small-scale fisheries and other activities closely related to this. Fishermen and small-scale fishers and fishing communities in both the Global South and the Global North are increasingly endangered, servicon and must deal with powerful forces that are reshaping drastically rights regimes and models existing production in the field of fisheries. This process is leading not only to small-scale fishermen lose control over these resources, but also, in many cases, ecological destruction and even disappearance.
We are currently witnessing an important process of enclosure of the oceans and fisheries in the world, including offshore fisheries, coastal and continental. Grabbing oceans is occurring primarily through servicon policies, laws and practices that are (re) defining and (re) assigning servicon the access, use and control of fishery resources to remove them from fishermen and small-scale their communities, often with little concern about the negative consequences for the environment. In this process, are being ignored and, ultimately, losing systems of customary rights and communal tenure fishing and use practices and existing management. So grabbing oceans means that powerful economic actors are taking control of critical decisions on fisheries as the power to decide how and for what purposes are used, retain and manage marine resources, now and in the future. servicon Consequently, these powerful actors, whose main interest servicon is making profits, are assuming a gradual control of both fisheries resources and the benefits of its use.
Some of the main institutions that are paving the way for grabbing oceans servicon have adopted a human rights-based language and argue that regulatory reform initiatives arising from the need to ensure universal food security and poverty eradication. However, many examples around the world demonstrate that the basic principle that directs the reform process is a blind belief in market servicon solutions that frontally opposed to the wishes and demands of organizations representing civil society.

Oceans grabbing is not only related to fisheries policies. This is a phenomenon that is unfolding around the world and in a wide range of contexts, such as maritime and coastal waters, inland servicon waters, rivers and lakes, deltas and wetlands, mangroves and coral reefs. The means by being disarmed fishing communities of the resources they have traditionally relied servicon are also taking many forms. Occurs through various mechanisms such as
