Small-scale fisheries are the backbone of coastal livelihoods and vital guardians of marine ecosystems. Yet they face increasing pressures from climate change, illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and resource degradation.
Join us at this high-level, UNOC official, side event highlighting scalable solutions to modernize small-scale fisheries, support monitoring, improve security at sea, enhance traceability, and promote ocean sustainability.
Come and listen to testimonies from various stakeholders around the world and benefit from field experience, valuable feedback and lets take part in the discussion.
