Pesca y biodiversidad: ¿navegación tranquila o mares tormentosos?

We chart a broad path for fishery management towards effective and equitable sustainable use and biodiversity conservation considering: 1) Convergence of fisheries and conservation governance and their challenges to consistently reach their targets; 2) Pathways towards effective Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and Conservation, with spatial and non-spatial measures, risk management, agreed norms for ecosystem status, and improved knowledge for monitoring, evaluation and adaptive management; 3) Effective implementation of OECMs to improve biodiversity conservation and fisheries' performance, following Decision 14/8 of the CBD COP; 4) Empowerment of all relevant actors for their effective and equitable participation from data collection to management, including monitoring and performance assessment, recognizing the connections between cultural diversity and biological diversity. Keynote presentations on these matters will be followed by discussion with panelists.
