Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture 2025The Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA) were prepared at the request of Members in an inclusive, transparent and participatory manner under the guidance of the Sub-Committee on Aquaculture of the FAO Committee on Fisheries. The GSA offer a comprehensive framework for the management and development of sustainable aquaculture and are designed to support Members and other stakeholders in the implementation of the 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The GSA were created in response to the rapid expansion of aquaculture, the fastest-growing food production sector in the world, driven by scientific progress, technological innovations and investment, amid a consistently increasing global demand for aquatic foods. However, as with all food production sectors, this rapid growth has exposed challenges to the sustainability of aquaculture and raised concerns about potential negative impacts. The GSA provide a comprehensive framework for addressing these challenges.

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the workshop on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures in areas under the jurisdiction of regional fisheries bodies
Rome, 22–24 January 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The capacity-building workshop on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in areas under the jurisdiction/scope of regional fisheries bodies was held at FAO headquarters in Rome between 22 and 25 January 2024. The workshop was organized by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division (NFI) and the Regional Fishery Body Secretariats’ Network to support regional fisheries bodies (RFBs) to understand further, discuss, and apply lessons learned in the identification of OECMs through the application of the OECM criteria.The main points covered during the workshop were: 1) introducing participants to the OECM concept and the identification and reporting mechanism; 2) discussing the role of RFBs in identifying OECMs; 3) providing an exchange of experiences across different RFBs; and 4) assessing the role of RFBs in implementing the CBD Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement. Participants noted: the need to substantiate the OECM submission with robust data and information, especially on biodiversity attributes in the area, and understanding that fisheries depth does not include huge areas that are not fishable; challenges in identifying OECMs in regards to migratory species/pelagic ecosystems as opposed to benthic ecosystems such as vulnerable marine ecosystems; the importance to fully document the OECM identification process and for it to be driven by science/knowledge; the need to avoid greenwashing by identifying measures that may not meet the OECM criteria or may be too big to be effectively implemented/enforced; the need to be proactive in biodiversity conservation; and the need for enhanced cooperation between sectors.
