The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) has concluded plans to take active role in the forthcoming Oceanconference slated for the city of New York, reports NaijaAgroNet.
The conference, NaijaAgroNet gathered, would afford FAO a
key role to play given its work on the sustainable use of marine resources upon
which millions of people around the world depend for food security and for
livelihoods.
NaijaAgroNet also reports that FAO is supporting countries
to develop and implement the Blue Growth agenda which aimed at eliminating
harmful fishing practices and overfishing while fostering approaches that
promote growth, improve conservation, and support adaptation to climate change.
In addition, NaijaAgroNet reports that FAO has been
instrumental in brokering the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (PSMA), which
went into force in June 2016.
The theme of the conference, NaijaAgroNet report, has been
geared towards partnering for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14:: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for
sustainable development.
The Ocean conference is holding at the United Nations office
in New York between June 5 and 9.
