FAO calls for renewed efforts to improve fisheries management on 10th anniversary of code's adoption.
A growing number of countries are applying FAO's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries at the national level, the UN agency said today on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Code's adoption.
Drafted by 170 nations during discussions brokered by FAO and adopted on 31 October 1995, the Code contains a series of policy principles, technical guidelines and best practices for conducting fishing and aquaculture in a responsible and sustainable way.
