No results found.The Kyoto Strategy for Aquaculture Development adopted in 1976 facilitated the transformation of aquaculture from a traditional to a science-based economic activity. It promoted technical cooperation among developing countries to expand aquaculture development. The UNEP Convention on Biological Diversity that came into effect in 1993 reflected the world community's commitment to manage biodiversity for the welfare of present and future generations The FAO Code of Conduct for Respon sible Fisheries promulgated in 1995 enshrined the principles of sustainability and responsibility in the practice of fisheries, aquaculture and trade in aquatic products. The Bangkok Declaration and Strategy adopted in 2000 articulated 17 strategic elements for aquaculture development. These could be broadly summarised as: (i) a responsible farmer is justifiably rewarded; (ii) costs and benefits are shared equitably; (iii) society benefits from the practice and products of aquacultur e; (iv) adequate, affordable and safe food is available and accessible to everyone; (v) the environment is conserved for the next generation, and (vi) the development of the sector is orderly. At the threshold of this millennium, in September 2000 in New York, the global community adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration which set the eight Millennium Development Goals. The Paris Declaration adopted in March 2005, provides the guidelines for the correct targeting, effectiv e coordination and efficient management and utilization of external assistance.
