Biodiversity mainstreaming in fisheries








This Infographic describes fisheries’ long-term evolution in consideration of biodiversity across its policy and practices. This accompanies and summarizes a fishery mainstreaming publication in the journal Marine Policy (see reference below), that was published to show how sustainable use sectors like fisheries have progressed in mainstreaming - a direct request of FAO by the Convention on Biological Diversity. Written by staff of FAO and IUCNs fisheries expert group, the paper and infographic attempts to show how fisheries has long worked on the process of integrating ecosystem issues in fisheries, as expected in Aichi Target 6, - i.e. mainstreaming of biodiversity in fisheries. This function is not complete and delivery needs to be strengthened, requiring further integration of effort across fisheries and biodiversity conservation initiatives.
