Source: GTZ Worldwide, approximately 230 million people live from fishery and aquaculture. Most of these people belong to the poorest sections of the population. As aquatic resources continue to be overexploited worldwide, sustainable fisheries management is essential for food security, income and employment in rural and coastal populations. The project, "Promotion of Responsible Fisheries" supports the dissemination and implementation of the International Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) drafted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The Code of Conduct contains the internationally established recommendations for the sustainable use of aquatic resources.
