June 27 – World Fisheries Day

On June 27, when we celebrate World Fisheries Day, we pay tribute to an industry that feeds nations and sustains communities. In this framework, the role of standards in fisheries and aquaculture becomes essential to ensure sustainability and adaptability to climate challenges.

Clear and well-defined standards play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture. They serve as a compass for responsible practices, protecting fragile ecosystems and ensuring that marine resources are managed sustainably.

Standards such as those proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) set rules for the management of fish resources, the protection of marine habitats, food safety and product quality. Cheers to all fishermen!
