Abstract

The Twenty-Ninth session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that met in Rome from 31 January to 4 February 2011 approved the development of a new international instrument on small-scale fi sheries to complement the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), drawing on relevant existing instruments. The Committee agreed that, in view of the important role played by small-scale fi sheries, FAO should continue to give priority to small-scale fisheries and ensure adequate visibility for them, particularly in relevant international fora, which deal directly or indirectly with these fisheries.
