Fish for the People is a policy-oriented special publication of SEAFDEC. Now in its 17th year, the Publication is intended to promote the activities of SEAFDEC and other relevant fisheries concerns in the Member Countries. We are inviting contributors from the SEAFDEC Departments, Member Countries, and partner organizations to submit articles that could be included in the forthcoming issues of the special publication. The articles could cover fisheries management, marine fisheries, aquaculture, fisheries postharvest technology, fish trade, gender equity in fisheries, among others. Written in popular language and in layman’s terms for easy reading by our stakeholders, the articles are not intended to provide detailed technical and typical scientific information as it is not a forum for research findings.

The article should be written in Microsoft Word with a maximum of 10 (ten) pages using Times New Roman font 11 including tables, graphs, maps, and photographs.
