SSF Hub Presents: Fisher Voices, IYAFA 2022
“IYAFA 2022 aims to focus world attention on the role that small-scale fisheries, fish farmers and fish workers play in food security and nutrition, poverty eradication and sustainable natural resource use - thereby increasing global understanding and action to support them.
The United Nations declared 2022 the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022). IYAFA 2022 aims to focus world attention on the role that small-scale fishers, fish farmers and fish workers play in human well-being, food security and nutrition, poverty eradication and sustainable natural resource use. During this time, it is important for fishers to be involved in shaping the dialogue and elevating the issues that are important to them and their livelihoods - thereby increasing global understanding and action to support them.
In celebration of IYAFA, the Small-Scale Fisheries Resource & Collaboration Hub (SSF Hub) is hosting a year-long campaign to highlight important topics, voiced by small-scale fishers and fish workers. The activities of the campaign aim to facilitate the exchange of stories, best practices, and drive actions needed to protect the lives and livelihoods of small-scale fishers worldwide.
