IYAFA 2022

Final Report

The International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022 was an opportunity to highlight the importance of small-scale artisanal fisheries and aquaculture for our food systems, livelihoods, culture and the environment.
This report provides a summary overview of the objectives, activities and recommendations of the IYAFA 2022. It aims to motivate relevant stakeholders to ensure that the end of the Year is the beginning of a new era of support for small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.

 In celebration of IYAFA, the Small-Scale Fisheries Resource & Collaboration Hub (SSF Hub) hosted a year-long campaign to highlight important topics, voiced by small-scale fishers and fish workers. The activities of the campaign aimed to facilitate the exchange of stories, best practices, and drive actions needed to protect the lives and livelihoods of small-scale fishers worldwide.
