Future challenges – fisheries and aquaculture

• Climate changes – temperature increase, weather worsening, acidic

oceans, sea level rise, migration of fish species

• Aquaculture – fish health, start feeding, water quality, new species,

food safety, technology

• Fisheries – Resource management, coastal zone management,

marine protected areas, processing

• Marine biotechnology – Utilization of byproducts from waste material and

bycatch

Academia and capacity building

• “Adequate country capacity is one of the critical missing factors in current efforts to meet the MDGs. Development efforts in many of the poorest countries will fail, even if they are supported with substantially increased funding, if the development of sustainable capacity is not given greater and more careful attention”. (OECD/DAC 2006)
