Descripción
Effective fisheries management is crucial to ensuring the long lasting social and economic benefits derived from the development of fisheries and related processing and marketing activities. The status of fisheries has been a major concern to the international community for more than two decades. Around a third of fish stocks shows signs of overexploitation, there are accelerating climate change impacts, and the aquatic environment is becoming degraded, leading to reduced socio economic and cultural benefits. While progress has been made in some areas, considerable efforts are still required to improve the situation of fisheries worldwide. Various global fora have called for action to enhance the sustainability of the fisheries sector. Against this background, the project aimed to strengthen the implementation of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) at international, regional and national levels, and to support the development of relevant knowledge and tools to cope with threats, and/or to take advantage of opportunities related to climate change and other global drivers of change.
