No results found.The Workshop on Communicating the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA) was held in Rome, Italy on 28–29 October 2024. The 33 participants comprised governmentally nominated delegates complemented by invited experts from international institutions. This activity was held under the European Union-funded project "Supporting a Blue Transformation: Implementation of the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA)." The two-day workshop was convened by FAO and consisted of working sessions, presentations and facilitated discussions. The workshop concluded with a call to action and validated expert recommendations on the further communication of the GSA. Generally, the expert workshop recommended inclusive communication of the GSA to reach all stakeholders, including small-scale actors. Diverse tools were suggested, such as videos, applications, localized broadcasts, and social media designed to address language and geographic barriers. Furthermore, targeted and audience-specific messaging was advised, highlighting the GSA’s practical benefits, their alignment with SDGs and success stories through case studies. Direct community engagement, partnerships with larger businesses and youth-focused initiatives were emphasized to foster trust and inclusivity. To monitor and evaluate the impact of communication efforts, the recommendations suggested using metrics, feedback mechanisms and participatory meetings. The expert workshop provided targeted recommendations for all individual GSA sections. For example, for governance and planning, experts emphasized identifying competent authorities, building on regulatory best practices and facilitating the GSA’s adoption through workshops and policy briefs. For the sustainable resource use section of the GSA, suggested priorities included fostering academic partnerships, raising awareness about production methods and highlighting aquaculture’s low carbon footprint. Related to social responsibility, experts called for actions to attract youth, address cultural barriers in gender equality communication and encourage collaboration within farmer clusters. Recommendations for value chains, market access and trade focused on mapping stakeholders, enhancing transparency and promoting by-products as opportunities. Experts also urged capacity building among financial institutions and leveraging partnerships to support GSA implementation. Finally, it was recommended to align GSA reporting with SDG frameworks, refining monitoring tools and creating a knowledge hub for collaboration. For the upcoming GSA Regional Promotional Workshops, the expert workshop recommended identifying opportunities to integrate the GSA into regional development strategies, sharing country-specific case studies and involving regionally active partners such as transboundary authorities and development agencies. -
