Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s Blue Hope Project approach seeks to address these challenges by developing sustainable and inclusive multi-sectoral investment plans that facilitate the transition of small-scale fishing communities to blue growth. To this end, the blue growth investment plans are being developed by leveraging and integrating existing FAO tools and international instruments, including the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) provides the foundation for capture fisheries sustainability, the Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture (EAA) is an approach to develop aquaculture while minimizing environmental degradation, FAO’s value chain methodologies ensure that value chain development potential is assessed in gender-sensitive ways and so on.

    In order to contribute to the sustainable development goals, capture fisheries and aquaculture sectors have been assigned important tasks to support the food security and improved nutrition and eradication of poverty through realizing blue economic growth (Sustainable growth of economies derived from marine and inland water ecosystems and living aquatic resources) with responsible and efficient use of marine and inland water and associated natural resources and conservation of marine and inland water ecosystems and aquatic biodiversity. Given the global leading position of Asian fisheries in production and direct dependence on the sector, the Asia and Pacific Region will need to take a leading role in achieving the goal considering its current share in global fish production and trends of the sectoral development in the different regions.

    Fish and fisheries are the mainstay of food security and the wealth of most SIDS. Many SIDS are heavily dependent on their oceanic and coastal fisheries resources for economic growth and development, as well as food security and livelihoods, and are vulnerable to any change in the state of these resources.
