Green Growth in Fisheries and Aquaculture
This report summarises the current situation in fisheries and aquaculture, observing
that in many parts of the world these sectors are at risk and do not reach their full
potential. However, the prospects for sustained growth are good if reforms along the
lines suggested by the OECD Green Growth Strategy are undertaken. The report emphasises
the need for a strong, science-based approach to stock management for resource sustainability,
combined with a transparent and reactive policy development cycle to ensure that fisheries
deliver maximum possible benefits. The report shows that improved regulation to deal
with environmental externalities and space competition is key to unlocking future
growth potential of aquaculture.
