| dc.description | Fisheries and aquaculture are a critical source of food, nutrition, income and livelihoods for coastal and fisheries-dependent communities. The sector supports the livelihoods of roughly 12 percent of the world’s population and supplies 17 percent of its dietary animal protein. However, population growth and its associated stresses, such as pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and climate change, threaten the productivity of aquatic ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. FAO has developed a global programme to enhance coastal-community inclusivity for the sustainable use of fisheries, to foster income-generating opportunities in aquaculture, expand coverage of social-protection systems, and increase commitment and capacity for poverty reduction in these communities. | |
