Resumen
Descripción
Having celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021, ASFA is now looking to the future and how it can support the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As an international network focused on disseminating the world’s aquatic science, fisheries and aquaculture research, there are many ways in which ASFA can and does contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG14 (Life below water) is to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development” (https://sdgs.un.org/ goals/goal14) and this issue covers some of the ways in which ASFA contributes to this goal. These include how to search the ASFA database to find relevant research on these topics produced by institutions around the world. We also present an update on a project ASFA is supporting between FAO and SEAFDEC to record research and datasets from southeast Asia related to SDG Indicator 14.4.1 – proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels.
In addition to SDG14, we also present the results of a survey on the impact of gender on career experiences of library and information professionals working in aquatic sciences – combining SDG14 with SDG 5 Gender Equality and SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth. Also presented in this issue is an article on SushiDrop project (SUstainable fiSHeries wIth DROnes data Processing) and the recently launched digital archive from the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF).
