No results found.This is the report of the Seventh Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) Regional Consultative Forum Meeting (RCFM) on Sustainable Development for Resilient Blue Growth of Fisheries and Aquaculture. The meeting was convened in Cebu, Philippines from 7 May to 9 May 2018 and was attended by 80 participants from 16 countries, together with representatives from ten regional and international partner organizations and projects. The key conclusions and recommendations endorsed by the Seventh RCFM are summarized as: (1) The RCFM recognized the great advances in the four thematic areas pertaining to sustainable and resilient fisheries and aquaculture for blue growth in the region; (2) There are a number of remaining and emerging challenges to the sustainability and resilience of fisheries and aquaculture sector; (3) There remains a great need in many countries for reinforced legal frameworks and guiding policies to ensure a human rights-based and environmentally friendly development of the region’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors in line with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) and the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF); and (4) More targeted disaster risk management and climate change strategies and technologies for the sector are needed in several countries. The RCFM considered the reviews of regional fisheries and aquaculture, presentations by member countries and regional organizations, reports of action plans of APFIC regional consultative workshops and the major issues outlined in the agenda and developed a report and recommendations to inform the Thirty-fifth APFIC Session. -
ProjectEnhancing Fisheries and Aquaculture Value Chains in the Mediterranean - GCP/INT/745/ITA 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Capture fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean face both sustainability challenges and opportunities for improving competitiveness, which need to be addressed through appropriate policies and strategies for the development of these sectors. Some of the main challenges currently facing the capture fisheries and aquaculture value chains in the Mediterranean include the globalization and increasing complexity of markets and production, growing international competition, restructuring of value chains imbalance in bargaining power between actors, tighter standards for production, increasing consumer demand for quality, convenience and traceability and ecocertification. On the other hand, Mediterranean fisheries and aquaculture value chains enjoy opportunities for maximizing economic and social benefits from aquatic products. Well-established seafood processing and value addition capacity, innovation, functioning institutions, active producers’ organizations, well-established sector management bodies, and well-developed human capital are some of the key routes to fully utilize the potential of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture value chains. In this context, the objective of this project was to develop visions, policies and strategies for upgrading the wild shrimp and farmed trout value chains in the Mediterranean region to improve competitiveness and sustainability performance. Five countries were selected for the implementation of project activities: Albania, Italy, Lebanon, Tunisia and Türkiye. -
BookletWorking towards sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea
Delivering tangible results from strategic actions in 2017–2021
2023Also available in:
No results found.The adoption of the Mid-term strategy (2017–2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries in 2017 and the Strategy for the sustainable development of Mediterranean and Black Sea aquaculture in 2018 signaled the beginning of a new way for the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) to implement its mandate. Between 2017 and 2021 they allowed the GFCM to define priorities, increase its means, level the playing field and make a real difference to sustainability in both fisheries and aquaculture across the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. This brochure highlights the key improvements that were achieved under these strategies and looks towards the next stage of development currently underway, guided by a new vision that builds on these past successes.
