Abstract

The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (the SSF Guidelines) were endorsed by the Committee on Fisheries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2014. The SSF Guidelines were developed as a complement to the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and thus support responsible fisheries and sustainable social and economic development with an emphasis on small-scale fishers and fishworkers. They recognize the ecosystem approach as an important guiding principle and also promote co-management and other participatory management systems. The current project, implemented by the Center for Marine life Conservation and Community Development (MCD) in partnership with the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF), and supported by FAO, was taken up to support the social, economic, and environmental transformation of the small-scale fisheries sector to better contribute to food security and poverty eradication as a result of improved policies, strategies, and initiatives. In Viet Nam specifically, the objective of the project is to better inform small-scale fishing communities about co-managing local aquatic and coastal ecosystems and the benefits of community-based monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) systems to deter, prevent and eliminate IUU fishing practices.
