It updates the last Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) “Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in the Near East and North Africa – 2010” (FAO, 2011). It highlights the salient issues, particularly those that have evolved in the past decade (2010–2014). The data contained in the review is based on FAO’s official datasets (FAO, 2016a).

How Blue Growth can benefit women, youth, indigenous groups and migrants
2018Also available in:
No results found.Blue Growth promotes the sustainable development of aquatic resources for the benefit of communities who rely on them for their livelihoods and food security. It seeks to maximize economic and social benefits while minimizing environmental degradation from activities within the fisheries and aquaculture sector. These goals are closely aligned with the three pillars of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which pay special attention to traditionally marginalized groups. Analysing the needs and interests of women, youth, indigenous peoples and migrants is central to the Blue Growth approach. An approach that prioritizes working with governments, communities and civil society to advance policies and incentives that unlock the economic and social potential of marginalized groups and empower them to safeguard natural resources while enhancing opportunities to access decent work.
