NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service today highlighted the United Nations Food and Agriculture’s endorsement of new Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture, noting NOAA’s role in informing the new guidelines and “ensure the needs of North American aquaculture sectors were represented in the guidelines while balancing the needs of countries worldwide.”
The Guidelines are built around principles surrounding sustainability, environmental stewardship, rule of law, non-discrimination and respect of cultures, equity and equality: promoting justice and fair treatment, consultation and participation, transparency and accountability, and holistic and integrated approaches.
