 Seafood is the most traded food commodity in the world. The main source of food for millions of people and a key source of revenue for many governments. Small-scale fisheries source well over half the world's supply of fish in some countries as much as 70%. Yet these fisheries are still not on the radar of people making policy decisions. It's time we included them in the bigger picture. What if we knew how many women and men were employed in small-scale fisheries? How much fish they caught and how much they processed? And how much a country relied on them for feeding the population? What if this information became part of how we measured our national wealth? Only then would we begin to see the value of small-scale fisheries and it would be clear that government investment in better services like refrigeration, processing facilities and better roads to connect fisheries to markets could increase this value and help to make small-scale fisheries more sustainable. The bottom line is this won't just be helping fishing communities to make better lives for themselves, it will be helping our ocean and our planet to thrive. Let's move small-scale fisheries to the centre of the conversation. Join us.
