Based on a recently concluded study Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH): The contributions of small-scale fisheries to sustainable development, this webinar uncovers the contributions and impacts of small-scale fisheries through a multidisciplinary approach to data collection and analysis. It aims to contribute to a more holistic understanding of what small-scale fisheries are, their importance, and why they are essential for efforts to achieve the SDGs.
By using this knowledge wisely within a human rights-based approach in line with the SSF Guidelines, and by empowering small-scale fishers and fish workers, a more inclusive, equitable, sustainable, and resilient small-scale scale fisheries sub-sector can be achieved, supporting the transition from vulnerability to viability.
