Fisherfolk communites around the world celebrate World Fisheries Day today (21 November) highlighting the importance of sustainable management of fisheries and raising awareness about overfishing and habitat destruction.
From Italy to Madgascar our pictures show how the oceans sustain our lives and illustrate how important it is to find sustainable solutions to overfishing.
In Senegal we supported the establishment of a sustainable low impact fisheries policy that takes the interests of small-scale fishermen into account and prevents large-scale plunder by foreign industrial fishing trawlers.
