    Small and low-cost fish, like sardines and mackerel, are recognized as being rich in micronutrients. They play an important role in preventing malnutrition of poor and undernourished people in developing countries. In combination with researchers from four ongoing projects in Africa and Asia, FAO is organizing a virtual seminar on the contribution of small, low-cost fish to food security on February 15th and 16th, 2021.

    Strengthening Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in the Countries of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem - GCP/INT/985/GFF 2025
    Also available in:

    The Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is one of the most productive and biologically diverse large marine ecosystems in the world. It features a diverse range of marine and coastal habitats, including wetlands, estuaries, seagrass beds, mangroves and coral communities, which host a large number of endemic and migrant species. The seven countries of the CCLME (Cabo Verde, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal) endorsed the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to address the degradation of the area as a result of overfishing, habitat modification and changes in water quality in 2016. In an effort to capitalize on the momentum and partnerships built during the first phase of the CCLME project (2010-2017), the present project undertook a number of interventions, at different levels, to strengthen partnerships and foster engagement for CCLME SAP implementation, as well as to strengthen the capacity of fisheries institutions and communities for the sustainable use of transboundary fisheries resources and associated ecosystems. The project focused on strengthening regional cooperation and fostering dialogue for sustainable governance of fisheries, marine and coastal habitat and biodiversity conservation, and improved water quality in the CCLME, in the process establishing partnerships for SAP implementation with national stakeholders, regional projects and programmes, as well as international agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the donor community.
