Is it true that the FAO estimates that more than a third of global marine fish stocks are overfished?

Yes. The FAO's 2025 Review of the State of World Marine Fishery Resources reports that 35.5 percent of assessed stocks are overfished, and UN News and Our World in Data both relay the FAO estimate that over a third of global fish stocks are overexploited.
