| dc.description | Millions of people cannot afford a healthy diet, and the number of people at all stages of food insecurity is growing. Aquatic food is widely recognized as crucial to feeding and nourishing the expanding global population due to its role in providing essential proteins, fatty acids and micronutrients to people that have limited sources of these nutrients. Recognized as pivotal in addressing food insecurity, the ocean serves multiple roles in sustaining life on Earth. It provides a wide range of goods and services, plays a key role in atmospheric and climate regulation, and serves as a catalyst for employment generation, trade facilitation, and enhancement of socioeconomic well-being for millions worldwide. However, the ability of marine ecosystems to sustainably provide essential resources, particularly aquatic foods, is under significant threat, especially due to: excessive fishing pressure, climate change, pollution from marine and land-based sources, and other pressures coming from multiple uses of the ocean. This is compounded by weak governance and fisheries management systems, along with a lack of resources and expertise to effectively manage the negative impacts and their cumulative effects.The Nansen Programme has been one response to these threats, serving as a collaborative platform for ocean science, fisheries management and capacity development. Since 1975, it has represented a longstanding adaptive partnership between Norway, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and a range of partner countries across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Central America, as well as regional fisheries bodies. This publication presents the results achieved from 2017–2023, and the phase referred to as “The EAF‑Nansen Programme: supporting the application of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, considering climate and pollution impacts”. | |
