Fishery -all the activities connected with the securing of animal and vegetable products from the earth waters.
Fishery products include such items as fish, clams, oysters, lobsters, eels, shrimps, turtles, seals, and whales. Pearl sponges, coral shells, and seaweeds are also included among the products derived from the sea. Fish provides the protein which is needed in the human diet. Fisheries are perhaps the most poorly managed of all the natural resources. The unscientific assumption that man can never exhaust the resources of the sea has placed upon nature the entire responsibility for renewal and replenishment.

The Rockefeller Foundation marks its 100th year in 2013. The Foundation’s mission, unchanged since 1913, is to promote the well-being of humankind throughout the world. During the course of its history, the Foundation has supported the ingenuity of innovative thinkers and actors by providing the resources, networks, convening power, and technologies to move innovation from idea to impact. It supports work that expands opportunity and strengthens resilience to social, economic, health, and environmental challenges. The Foundation seeks to achieve its mission through work aimed at meeting four equally important goals: revalue ecosystems, advance health, secure livelihoods, and transform cities.
Starting in June 2012, the Rockefeller Foundation began investigating the pressing problem of the declining health of the oceans due to climate change, overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction, and the effects of this decline on poor and vulnerable people who depend on marine ecosystems for food and livelihoods. The goal was to better understand the nature of the problem and the potential impact of interventions in the fields of fisheries, aquaculture, poverty, and food security.
The Foundation assembled a portfolio of learning grants that examined this problem from multiple perspectives in order to inform and assess the viability of and potential impact for future engagement on this topic. We supported four scoping studies that sought to identify populations dependent on marine fisheries, as well as review past experience with integrated approaches to fisheries management within a livelihoods and food security context. In partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies, we also supported scoping work in four countries to assess opportunities for a coordinated strategy integrating national policy, local management, and innovative financing.
We have learned a tremendous amount from the work our grantees have done, captured here by partner FSG in a summary and synthesis. We hope this information will contribute to the broader body of knowledge on this topic, as well as our own work.
This presentation was presented by Meryl Williams, based on the full written report: HLPE, 2014. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome 2014.(http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/en/).
This report addresses a frequently overlooked but extremely important part of world food and nutrition security: the role and importance of fish in seeking food and nutrition security for all. Fisheries and aquaculture have often been arbitrarily separated from other parts of the food and agricultural systems in food security studies, debates and policy-making.
The report presents a synthesis of existing evidence regarding the complex pathways between fisheries and aquaculture and food and nutrition security, including the environmental, economic and social dimensions, as well as issues related to governance. It provides insights on what needs to be done to achieve sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in order to strengthen their positive impact on food and nutrition security.
The ambition of this compact yet comprehensive report is to help the international community to share and understand the wide spectrum of issues that make fisheries and aquaculture such an important part of efforts to assure food security for all.

Investment Guideline for Sustainable Aquaculture in IndonesiaTrini Pratiwi
Access to finance in the aquaculture sector has
traditionally been a hotly debated topic. On one side,
there is recognition that aquaculture is needed to
satisfy the growing demand for quality animal proteins.
On the other, the risks associated with aquaculture
production and the fragmentation of the sector –
especially in tropical aquaculture – have limited the
appetite for investors to finance the sector, other than
services and processing.
This document is designed for investors operating
in Indonesia. It aims to provide a summary of the
aquaculture sector and its potential, a description of
the risks and mitigation strategies, and a presentation
of possible financial models.
The document is unique in that it can be used by
private-sector players along related aquaculture supply
chains as well as financial institutions and donors. YIDH
intends the document to make a starting point for
various stakeholders and regulators to support better
investment in sustainable aquaculture, and to open
the discussion on new ideas and opportunities in the
future.

Eco-Labels for Capture Fisheries
Eco-certification schemes for capture fisheries have existed for around 20 years, driven by the growing concern of the state of global fish stocks, increasing consumption of seafood and a perception that public mechanisms at the regional, national and international levels are failing in ensuring the sustainable management of marine resources (OECD, 2012). The intent of eco-certification schemes is to improve fisheries sustainability through market based incentives. Eco-labels provide a link between marketing and management and are playing an increasingly important role in fisheries sustainability. To be able to use an eco-label on capture fisheries products, the fishery wishing to use the eco-label must be assessed by a third party on sustainability standards developed by the eco-label organization. If the fishery is found to comply with the standards after a full assessment, then the fishery is certified and allowed to use the eco-label on its seafood products.

An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food are lost per year --
to about one-third of all food produced.
In small-scale fisheries, quality losses are often far more
significant than physical losses.
The report also notes that illegal, unreported and
unregulated (IUU) fishing remains a major threat to marine
ecosystems and also impacts negatively on livelihoods,
local economies and food supplies.
Food chain traceability is increasingly a requirement in
major fish markets, especially in the wake of recent
scandals involving the mislabelling of food products

DEFINING SUSTAINABILITY IN THE SEAFOOD
INDUSTRY
Defined By: Definition of “Sustainability”
Government Development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs. (UNCLOS, 1982)
Seafood Certification
Scheme
Involves the main certification organization establishing
the criteria for certification (the standard), and
independent accredited ‘certifying bodies’ (CBs)
conducting the assessments against the criteria.
Seafood Consumer Guides While not specifically trying to define ‘sustainability’ the
guides instead communicate through a traffic light
system (i.e. red/avoid, yellow/consider, green/buy) in
order to influence consumer behavior. This in turn is
aimed at promoting ‘best choice’ consumer purchases
and as a result improve the sustainability of the ocean
environment.

OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING SUSTAINABILITY
IN THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY
It should also be noted that the sustainability of fisheries is
not only affected by fishing and aquaculture practices but
also subject to over arching environmental and social
concerns as well.
The two major environmental concerns facing the seafood
industry are the increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs) in
the atmosphere, and the amount of waste in the seafood
life cycle.
Potential issues affecting fisheries due to the increased
level of GHGs in the atmosphere include rising average
ocean temperature, decreasing salinity and increasing
acidity.
29. 30
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING SUSTAINABILITY
IN THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY
Finding a way to reduce our GHG impact is an important
long-term step for the sustainability of the current balance
of marine life.
Another important factor is the estimated 7.3 million tonnes
(reaching as high as 30 million tonnes in some research
figures) of seafood waste that is dumped back into the
oceans globally.
30. 31
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING SUSTAINABILITY
IN THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY
Social concerns are often overlooked in the definition of
‘sustainability’; however, there is a need, and a
responsibility, for the seafood industry to focus on the
estimated 35 million or more people who rely on fishing or
fish farming as a full-time (i.e. someone who receives 90%
or more of their livelihood from fishing) occupation.
It has been reported that working conditions in some
regions are far from satisfactory and exploit the situation
these fishers find themselves in. According to FAO
estimates, almost 20% of them earn less than $1 a day.
