Global events: World Fisheries Day 2018

Today, 21 November, fishing communities around the globe are marking World Fisheries Day.

Despite the growth of aquaculture, small-scale capture fisheries will continue to supply most of the fish consumed in much of the developing world in the coming decades. The majority of these fisheries are small-scale, operating in rivers, lakes, wetlands, coral reefs and estuaries in coastal seas, and provide livelihoods for millions of people.
