    Fisheries (capture fisheries and aquaculture) is an important food production sector in Asia- Pacific, which contribute 55% to global capture fisheries production and 92% to the world aquaculture production. Fisheries supplies 23.1 kg of food fish to Asian population in 2013, which comprised 22.9% of animal protein and 7.9% of total protein in food of the people. Meanwhile, Fishing and aquaculture production provided some 48 million jobs directly and millions more employment in related manufacture, processing and service sectors. Marine and inland water ecosystems and aquaculture biodiversity are most important resources and service providers to social and economic development in the region.

    Through the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries and Aquaculture management process, FAO will provide the structured and participatory processes to enable governments, fishery value chain actors, NGO and fisheries- and aquaculture-dependent communities to identify and prioritize risks to ecosystem well-being, human well-being and enabling governance and to identify the changes required to meet their long-term goals. The EAF/EAA provides stakeholders with the tools to implement agreed-upon actions and to monitor and evaluate the impacts of management actions on their fisheries and aquaculture objectives.
