Fisheries In The Gulf of Guinea, A Sub-Regional Food System in Need of Change

This dialogue brings together important stakeholders in Fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea to discuss roles and contributions and challenges of fisheries resources in the Food Systems of the Area. The dialogue takes to account the peculiarities of the local situations in and around the Gulf communities and countries particularly of (1) Environmental pressure on the fisheries by oil and waste/plastic (2) Inadequate Scientific Survey of (joint) fish stocks and (3) Fishing and Aquaculture Technology and Safety Issues limiting production and trade.

Stakeholders from local communities, business, research and policy spectrums are drawn to discuss a more global response to the local challenges. A Gulf of Guinea Dialogue group will be expected to adopt some action plans to mobilize for support of the UNFSS summit goals
