DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t5sh2k/oecd_review_of_fis) has announced the addition of OECD Publishing's new report "OECD Review of Fisheries 2011: Policies and Summary Statistics" to their offering.
The 2009 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting adopted a Green Growth Declaration, giving OECD a mandate to develop a Green Growth strategy to bring together economic, environmental, social, technological and development aspects into a comprehensive framework. It has been long recognised that without sustainable management of natural resources the future of fisheries is bleak. Within the fisheries sector, the Green Growth paradigm offers potentially important new insights and a renewed policy framework to ensure that additional issues are addressed at a much wider level, notably by including the social and development aspects.
The overarching objective of the OECD's Green Growth strategy is to help policy makers identify policies that are at once environmentally and socially sustainable, and contribute to economic growth. This means ensuring that enough food is provided for a global population that is steadily increasing, reducing the carbon intensity of the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and managing natural resources in a sustainable manner while reducing the adverse environmental impact it creates. The objective also includes the creation of sustainable jobs.
This Review contains a General Survey of Policy Developments based on material submitted by OECD member countries, information gathered on observer and enhanced engagement countries, and an overview of recent activities of the Committee of Fisheries. It also includes a special chapter which is the Chairs' Report from the Round Table on Eco-labelling and Certification in the Fisheries Sector. Finally, it contains Country Notes on the state of fisheries in OECD and observer countries.
