INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES STAKEHOLDERS FORUM / 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF FAO CODE OF CONDUCT ON RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES

October 8-9, Vigo, Spain



Fisheries ministers, experts and representatives of civil society groups and the private sector will be gathering in Vigo, Spain, to mark the 20th anniversary of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries<http://www.fao.org/fishery/code/en> and discuss the state and future of global fisheries.

FAO is partnering with Spain’s Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Environment, and leading Spanish trade association Conxemar on a series of events at this year’s International Fisheries Stakeholders Forum, where discussions will focus on the importance of responsible ocean governance for global food security, the expanding role of fish farms, improving seafood safety and traceability, reducing food waste and illegal fishing, and sustainably harnessing marine resources for economic growth.
The Code of Conduct for the last two decades has played a key role in making fisheries more sustainable by setting universal standards to guide governments and private actors in conserving and managing the world’s ocean resources.
