Fish for the People is a policy-oriented Special Publication produced by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC). The first issue of the Special Publication was launched in early 2003 to commemorate the first anniversary of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the New Millennium: “Fish for the People” organized in 2001 from which the Special Publication got its banner title Fish for the People. The Special Publication is published by the SEAFDEC Secretariat in three issues per year with support from the Japanese Trust Fund. Through the years, Fish for the People has been recognized by various stakeholders as a significant source of information to support their works on the sustainable development and management of fisheries and aquaculture in the region.
