Illuminating Hidden Harvests, a webinar on small-scale fisheries, will happen twice, in English, with interpretation into French and Spanish, on Tuesday 23 November 2021 at 8-9:30 am Rome (CET) / 2-3:30 pm Bangkok (ICT) / 10-11:30 am New York (EST) / 4-5:30 pm Rome (CET).
This 90-minute webinar will provide a snapshot of some key findings from the IHH report. Due out in 2022, the IHH report ties together the efforts of nearly 800 authors and experts to contribute to a more complete picture of small-scale fisheries. Drawing on a tapestry of methods, including 58 country and territory case studies, the report examines the current environmental, social, economic and governance contributions of marine and inland small-scale fisheries at global and local scales. In this webinar, the IHH chapter leads will share a few key findings from the report and respond to audience members’ questions during the Q&A session.
Illuminating Hidden Harvests is a global initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Duke University, and WorldFish to generate and disseminate new evidence about the importance of small-scale fisheries to inform policy and practice. The initiative helps to inform all levels of policy-making processes and contributes to empowering fishing communities, their organizations, and advocates to make a strong case for productive, sustainable and equitable small-scale fisheries.
In this way, the IHH initiative supports the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) and progress towards the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The IHH report, a key output of the IHH initiative, provides robust evidence of the interlinked
environmental, social, governance and economic contributions of marine and inland small-scale fisheries at global and local scales.
