Strategy for the implementation of the code of conduct for responsible fisheries

Abstract

This paper presents the strategy for the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF). CCRF was adopted by the Twenty-eighth Session of the FAO Conference in October 1995. It is of a voluntary nature that covers all fisheries including aquaculture and related activities. It seeks to ensure that aquatic resources are exploited and utilised responsibly and in accordance with long-term principles of sustainability.
