    Fisheries and aquaculture contribute significantly to the economic growth of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The sector also contributes to food and nutrition security and livelihoods of an estimated 170 million directly and indirectly engaged in the value chains in fisheries and aquaculture production. Capture fisheries production has stagnated in the last 2 decades, while aquaculture production continued to increase and by 2014 exceeded production from capture fisheries in the Asia Pacific region. On the other hand, countries in the region are identified as among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts that will significantly affect the fisheries and aquaculture production chains. The region, which is home to more than 90 percent of the global population, also has the greatest exposure to risks related to extreme climatic events including tropical cyclones, storm surges and resulting coastal flooding on one hand, and extended droughts on the other hand. Hence, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development in the region is of vital importance and continues to be a significant development challenge.
