Declaration and commitments
[…] ‘Capture fishery production is projected to increase by just one percent through the year 2025, due to the fact that most of the world’s marine capture fisheries are fully fished and therefore have no potential for increasing production , according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.’ […]
Key Messages of the report: • World aquaculture production continues to grow and now provides half of all fish for human consumption. • The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Paris Agreement will have a strong influence on the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and the sector must play its part in order to achieve their stated societal, economic and environmental aims. • The FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing is expected to be a major advance in combating IUU fishing. • Twenty years on from its adoption, the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries remains an internationally accepted benchmark and framework for the sustainable use of aquatic resources. • There is growing recognition of the great potential of the oceans and inland waters to contribute significantly to food security and adequate nutrition for a global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. • The Second International Conference on Nutrition confirmed the importance of fish and seafood as a source of nutrition and health for many coastal communities, and especially during the “1,000 day window”.
