IIED's video: Fish Night 8: Keeping up momentum for artisanal fisheries and aquaculture

This event on Tuesday, 28 March discussed how to keep up global support and attention on small-scale, artisanal fisheries and aquaculture, after the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture. Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture are critically important sources of livelihoods and nutrition for hundreds of millions of men and women. Around 7% of the world’s population depends at least partially on the small-scale fisheries sector for employment or subsistence. In recognition of this importance, 2022 was designated by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA). IIED’s eighth Fish Night on 28 March discussed how to maintain global support and attention on small-scale fisheries and aquaculture going forward.
