The Project
Achieving sustainable development of fisheries is absolutely critical to the overall health of the world’s oceans.
The UN’s mandated work includes effective, quantitative assessment of fish stocks, which provides data-driven input for monitoring the health of fisheries, as required by Sustainable Development Goals Indicator 14.4.1.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) plays an important role in fisheries governance, it:
- collects and disseminates data and information;
- acts as a forum for states to develop and adopt treaties and guidelines;
- monitors the development and sustainability of the world's fisheries;
- and, provides policy and technical guidance to member states.
In partnership with Jumping Rivers, NU Solve is supporting the FAO in its endeavours to better monitor the world’s fishing stocks.
