During the 2018 WTO Public Forum in Geneva in the beginning of this month, the FAO organized a working session called FAO Instruments supporting the Sustainability of Traded Fish and Fisheries Products. This session focused on how international instruments and initiatives can contribute to sustainable trade in fish and fishery products. The SSF Guidelines were presented as one of the important tools which can be used to guide best practices.

In the panel were participants from the FAO as well as from Too Big to Ignore – Global Partnership for Small-Scale Fisheries Research (TBTI) and from West Africa Regional Coordinator of the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI).
