Improving conservation and sustainable use of living marine resources and marine ecosystems
English | FAO
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Maritime University (WMU), a United Nations General Assembly recognized global centre of excellence on maritime and ocean education, research, capacity-building and economic development, are strengthening efforts to improve conservation and sustainable utilization of marine resources and ecosystems through combatting illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing). The partnership, initiated in 2018 and renewed in late 2021, is raising awareness and developing capacities on the severe consequences of IUU fishing to support sustainable utilization of fisheries resources, improve ocean governance and enhance safe and responsible fishing.
Matthew Camilleri leads FAO’s team on the Fisheries Global and Regional Processes and shares his views on the significance, impact and future of the FAO-WMU partnership.
