The Workshop of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on child labour in fisheries and aquaculture, organized in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) was held in Rome from 14-16 April 2010. There were 35 participants including invited experts and staff of ILO and FAO. This was the first workshop to specifically address child labour issues in fisheries and aquaculture. It generated inputs and guidance on the contents and process of developing guidance materials on policy and practice in tackling child labour in fisheries and aquaculture. Workshop participants agreed on conclusions and recommendations relating to the nature, causes and consequences of child labour in fisheries and aquaculture and how to address them through legal and enforcement measures, policy interventions and practical actions. Participants specified specific priority actions for immediate implementation and identified cross-cutting issues that needed to be taken into account in all interventions
