FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department

The FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department is part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Its main role is to promote sustainable fishing and fish farming practices worldwide. This department provides guidance, support, and research to help countries manage their fishery resources effectively, ensuring that fish stocks remain healthy and can provide food and livelihoods for communities. By focusing on sustainability, the FAO aims to balance environmental protection with economic development in the fishing and aquaculture sectors, ultimately contributing to global food security and the fight against hunger.
