28/04/14: Worldfish at Global Ocean Summit

An invited international community will meet in Den Haag (The Hague) for the Global Oceans Action Summit for Food Security and Blue Growth. The summit will bring together representatives from governments, international agencies, NGOs and the private sector. 
Worldfish, who have a seat at the table, have identified concrete actions that they believe need to be taken to meet current and future challenges. They have named their top five challenges:
1. Improving fisheries
2. Leveraging economic opportunities
3. Planning for inclusive growth
4. Preparing for climate shocks
5. Aligning our efforts
WorldFish’s interest in reducing poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture is paramount and the oceans are key for achieving these and they see the Hague Summit as a key opportunity to being charting a productive future for tackling all of them.
