Resumen
Descripción
At its Twenty-ninth session in November 1997, the FAO Conference decided, by Resolution 18/97, that a “Margarita Lizárraga Medal” be awarded biennially by the Director-General, upon the proposal of the Council, to a person or organization that has served with distinction in the application of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries of FAO. The Award pays tribute to Ms Margarita Lizárraga, a Mexican national and an officer in the Fisheries Department at the time of her passing away in 1997, for her productive work in the field of fisheries for almost forty years, for her great dedication to FAO and for her strong commitment towards fostering the promotion of the fisheries sector, especially in developing countries, as well as for her decisive role in promoting the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Nominations are therefore now invited for the Margarita Lizárraga Medal Award for the biennium 2016-2017.
