In the Pacific, the 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 that spreads across 22 countries and territories, fishers feed the people.
Close to 90 percent of households consume fish or seafood weekly and around half of households depend on coastal fisheries as a source of income. However, only less than 10 percent of coastal communities in the region receive support for community-based fisheries management. Communities must be part of the solution.

Join the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022) celebrations to raise the voice and profile of the guardians of the Pacific. Take informed steps to engage and empower Pacific small-scale fishers and fish farmers.
