 Fisheries are one of the most important natural resources globally. They provide food to many households, they provide jobs to millions of individuals and they are also a source of income to households, communities and governments as well. However, these resources are under threat mainly due to overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and climate change. Therefore, there is an urgent call now to reverse the trend and it is very well-timed in 2015. The reason why 2015 is because 2015 marks the end of the millennium development goals and ushers in a new era so-called the post-2015 development era or commonly known as the sustainable development goals. In recent developments on this front, the UN's open working group has come about with an outcome document that identifies Goal 14 which calls on governments to sustainably manage these resources. This call particularly calls the transition from the unsustainable use of the resources towards more sustainable use of the resources. And one of the main ingredients to enable such smooth transition towards sustainable fisheries management is finance. Therefore, at our this year's Fish Night event at IID, we have decided to focus on sustainable fisheries, financing the sustainable fisheries management. We will be exploring two main topics. One is what can governments do. Our chief economist Paul Steele, he will be exploring or sharing his insights about what governments can do and what the corporate sector can do as well. And we are very privileged to have Simon Dent from Alfila EcoSphere who will be sharing his insights about the role of impact investment in financing sustainable fisheries. This builds on our last year's Fish Night 1 event which was held as success by many colleagues in and around London who attended the event last year where we launched our book titled The Use of Economic Incentives for Marine and Coastal Conservation. At the same time, we also launched our online platform fishnet.ning.com. Therefore, we do encourage you to come and join us in this year's Fish Night event. We will be providing the platform for people to mingle with like-minded people, discuss and hopefully having the opportunity to network and have some refreshments of course.
