Synopsis (short abstract) Fishing and aquaculture provide a vital source of food, employment, trade and economic well-being for people throughout the world, for present and future generations, and should therefore be conducted in a responsible manner. The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code) sets out principles and international standards for responsible practices supporting the sustainable exploitation and production of living aquatic resources, with due consideration for the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, and recognising the nutritional, economic, social, environmental and cultural importance of fisheries. Twenty-five years after its adoption, the Code remains as relevant today as it was in 1995. This booklet offers a glimpse into the objectives of the Code and the framework of instruments and guidelines that have, over the last 25 years, been built on the Code and in support of the implementation of its wide-ranging provisions. It also provides insights into some trends that can be observed through reporting by FAO Members on its implementation.

Achieving Blue Growth through Implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries 2015

The 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, more commonly known as the Rio Summit, was instrumental in focusing international attention on achieving sustainable development, with a new interest in safeguarding our natural resources for future generations. The resulting shift in public debate prepared the way for a long-discussed improved integration of conservation and environmental considerations into fisheries management. The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries was drafted, negotiated, and adopted by FAO member countries to serve this purpose. It served as the basis for the development of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries and Aquaculture. The Code recognises the nutritional, economic, social, environmental and cultural importance of fisheries and aquaculture, and the interests of all those concerned with the fishery sector.
