It presents articles and views from the FAO aquaculture programme and highlights various aspects of aquaculture as seen from the perspective of both headquarters and the field programme. This issue contains highlights of FAO work around the world, particularly articles that present FAO's work in response to COVID-19, including gender dimensions of COVID-19 on women and fisheries. Updates from around the world, including new developments in Bahrain Emirates and Bahrain, support to a recirculating aquaculture project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, establishment of demonstration sites in Morocco for marine cage farming, and creation of employment opportunities through sustainable aquaculture development activities targeted at youth in Côte d’Ivoire. The impacts of COVID-19 serve a as a stark reminder of the need for aquaculture to be resilient to all types of shocks and to be prepared to manage future disasters. Two articles from the Latin America and Caribbean region highlight FAO’s work in rebuilding a prawn hatchery in Dominica and supporting diversification and adaptation in Chile to the impacts of climate change. Relatedly, a thematic article focuses on how adaptation of the seaweed sector in Zanzibar holds lessons for us all. The importance of communication of the positive aspects of aquaculture is examined in an article from the European region, underscoring the importance of social licence and acceptability for the sustainable development of aquaculture. And while many of us are aware of the importance of fish to healthy diets, we also look at a success story of using fish in school feeding programmes, and how improved nutrition can have direct positive impacts on children’s education and quality of life. We also take this opportunity to update our readers on the important continuing work towards the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture and the Global Information System on Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources. FAO is also planning for the future, and provides updates on the Global Conference on Aquaculture, as well as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture. -
