The oceans provide livelihoods for millions of people. Small-scale fisheries (SSF) play key livelihood functions and are integral to value chains, post-harvest and trade activities. Thus, when developing policies concerning conservation, sustainable use of marine resources and greater market access, integrating SSF considerations will lead to a more enabling environment for global sustainable development.
The presentation was part of the Brussels Development Briefing on the topic of fish-farming, organized by the Technical Centre for Agriculture (CTA), the European Commission, and the African, Carribean, and Pacific (ACP) Secretariat on 3rd of July 2013 in Brussels.

The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) has identified aquaculture as a sector with potential to stimulate economic growth, jobs, and food security in member countries. However, aquaculture remains underdeveloped aside from some commercial production. CRFM has developed a five-year action plan for aquaculture development supported by a study confirming its potential economic and social contributions. The growth of aquaculture has been limited by high costs, lack of research and development, policies and legislation, and impacts of weather events. CRFM aims to promote sustainable aquaculture growth through increased investment, improved technology, support services, and policies to increase production and earnings in the region.
The document summarizes India's various five year plans from the 8th to the 12th plan, with a focus on objectives, achievements and programs in the fisheries sector. The 8th plan from 1992-1997 focused on population control, employment, education and modernizing industries. The 9th plan from 1997-2002 targeted 6.5% GDP growth and prioritized agriculture, employment, and infrastructure. The 10th plan from 2002-2007 aimed for 8% annual GDP growth and universal education. Key fisheries programs included reservoir, coastal and deep sea fisheries development. The 11th plan targeted 10% GDP growth by 2012 and included goals for education, health, employment and infrastructure. The 12th plan's objective was 9
The document provides an overview of the Department of Fisheries in India. It discusses:
- The creation of the separate Department of Fisheries in 2019 to focus on fisheries development.
- The department's mandate to promote and develop inland and marine fisheries, support fishermen's livelihoods, and regulate fisheries.
- Institutes and bodies under the department focused on fisheries development, training, research, and administration.
- Key statistics on India's fisheries resources in marine and inland waters and the country's status as a top producer and exporter of fish.

Fisheries and Aquaculture Futures in AfricaWorldFish
Fisheries and aquaculture will play an important role in addressing food security and reducing poverty in Africa. Under a business-as-usual scenario, aquaculture and fisheries production in Africa is projected to grow slowly between 2015-2050. Per capita fish consumption will rise slightly but remain low compared to other regions. More fish will need to be imported to meet demand. Increased investment and policy support for aquaculture development and trade could help boost production and consumption.

The document discusses South Africa's ocean economy and efforts to unlock its potential. It provides definitions and an overview of the global ocean economy, highlighting that its value is expected to double from $1.5 trillion in 2010 to $3 trillion by 2030. In South Africa, Operation Phakisa identified six key sectors for development, including marine transport, offshore oil/gas, aquaculture, marine protection services, small harbors, and coastal tourism. The program has already unlocked $2 billion in investments and over 6,500 jobs. Special economic zones like the Atlantis SEZ also aim to boost exports and investment in green industries.
The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) was adopted by FAO in 1995 to promote sustainable fishing practices. It provides principles and standards for the conservation, management, and development of fisheries. The CCRF recognizes the importance of fisheries for food, jobs, trade, and economic benefits. It encourages states and fisheries stakeholders to apply the Code to ensure responsible practices now and for future generations. The FAO aims to support implementation through projects, meetings, and calls for collaboration to fully achieve the CCRF's goals.

The document discusses improving nutrition in Bangladesh through increasing availability, access, and consumption of nutrient-rich small fish. It provides context on Bangladesh's Country Investment Plan (CIP) and National Food Policy, which aim to coordinate government and partner interventions for food security and nutrition. The CIP contains 12 programs, including Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and Community Based Nutrition Programs. These programs promote increasing sustainable fish production through aquaculture and rice-fish farming, as well as linking community nutrition to basic health services including micronutrient supplementation. Fish are highly nutritious containing protein, micronutrients, and omega-3 fatty acids. Per capita fish consumption in Bangladesh has increased but remains below recommended levels.

Aquaculture production will need to increase substantially to meet rising global demand for fish. By 2030, aquaculture will need to produce 30 million additional tons per year compared to current production levels. While aquaculture growth has slowed slightly in recent decades, continuing at around 6-7% annually, it is still expected to surpass capture fisheries as the primary source of fish for human consumption in the near future. Small-scale farmers currently produce a large percentage of aquaculture worldwide but often struggle to access international markets. Greater organization and coordination will be needed for small producers to effectively supply growing global trade in seafood.

It summarizes previous studies conducted in the US, Argentina, and Brazil to test a remote sensing crop growth and simulation model (RS-CGSM) for predicting corn and soybean yields. For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)

North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

ECOWAP Context : Fisheries and Aquaculture in West Africa
➢ Annual fish production is estimated at nearly 3
million tons with a very large disparity between
the countries of the region.
➢ Fish is the main source of animal protein
available and accessible for the majority of 355
millions persons in West Africa (over 60% of
households rely on fish for their animal protein
and micronutrient needs)
➢ The different estimates would indicate an average
annual consumption of 14 kg per inhabitant with
significant inequalities between countries.
➢ The sector is very importance in the region:
▪ For Small-Scale Fisheries (more than 70% of the
total production)
▪ For poverty reduction (six millions direct & indirect
jobs creation).

ECOWAP
➢ Policy incoherence which affect the ability of the sector to make a positive
contribution to FSN and poverty reduction (i.e. commercial objective versus
industrial fishing impact, lack social protection, etc.)
➢ Very weak coordination and lack of effective collaboration in the programs
and projects actions for FSN and Fisheries & Aquaculture; and weak human and
institutional capacities at national and regional level.
➢ Absence of a Regional Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy focused on FSN to
improve the contribution of the sector to the FSN of the populations.
➢ The main consequence of these “défaillances” is the poor investments in
fisheries and aquaculture sector (e.g. investments do not lead improved value
chain process to FSN, weak monitoring of resource flows and progress, etc.)
Context : Key challenges/bottlenecks need to be addressed in the fisheries
sector to improve its contribution to food security and nutrition (FSN).
The objective of FIRST Programme is to create an enabling environment for the development
and implementation of the ECOWAS Integrated and Coordinated Regional Fisheries and
Aquaculture Policy to enhance the contribution of the sector to food security and nutrition
and poverty reduction in West Africa.
