The upcoming United Nations Ocean conference (UNOC) is bringing a lot of anticipation among those willing to see progress in ocean governance and conservation. Emmanuel Macron, president of the host country, expects great outcomes, with the presence of several Heads of State and commitments by countries in terms of ratification of agreements (BBNJ, WTO fishing subsidies) or funding of ocean science and conservation. The European Economic and Social Committee , a European body representing the organized voice of European civil society has recalled that this conference “cannot let anyone down after two mixed editions.” Small-scale fisher (SSF) organisations expect to be heard during this 3rd edition. Sustained efforts since UNOC 2 by fisher and support organisations have yielded fruit with a dedicated ocean panel on ‘sustainable fisheries including supporting small-scale fisheries’. However, small scale fishers want more. In a letter to the co-facilitators of the political declaration draft, SSF organisations have asked that it “should clearly spell out the importance of [the SSF] sector participation in decision-making.”
