International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie)’s Post

This is one of the pieces we've been working on this year where the evidence trends are as interesting as the evidence gaps - what do you think?

Microplastic Pollution and Its Impact on Fishes and Humans examines the severe consequences of microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems, highlighting its effects on fisheries, aquaculture, and human health. The article delves into the sources, dispersion, and environmental impact of microplastics, underscoring this under-researched global issue. Read more in @SustainE: https://lnkd.in/embtMuq6

Ascertaining the ecological health of the mine environment is very essential in order to preserve biodiversity and ensure that food security is prioritized. Being an expert in Aquaculture and Fisheries, my concern is to understand the quality of water which entails much about aquatic life in that environment.

On #WorldFisheriesDay, take a look at the 2024 State of World Fisheries & Aquaculture by FAO🐟   This report highlights the #BlueTransformation: sustainable aquatic food systems, enhanced data & climate-smart solutions for food security & #biodiversity. https://lnkd.in/dPPt5_gM

📣 Did you know? Aquatic foods can contribute significantly to reducing global GHG emissions while enhancing climate resilience in food systems. Explore the latest actionable guidelines for integrating aquatic foods into nationally determined contributions (NDC) and climate policies, including: 🎣 Sustainable management of capture fisheries, transitioning aquaculture to low-carbon and climate-resilient practices and supporting blue-carbon habitats 🌊 Adopting low-input, non-fed aquaculture systems like bivalves and seaweed as climate-friendly food sources while enhancing ocean health 🐟 Policy options to support nations in incorporating aquatic foods into climate strategies, offering a blueprint for inclusive and sustainable food systems 📘 Access the guidelines here: https://lnkd.in/gcUJbE3m ✍️ Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/gyA2sT5y 👉 Register for the webinars here: https://lnkd.in/gZ-hVEuz #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #FoodPolicy #BlueEconomy #Fisheries #SmallScaleFisheries #Aquaculture #OceanGovernance #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #LivelihoodSecurity #Equity #Justice #Climate #SharedProsperity

There is so much said negatively about Aquaculture, yet the science and data say otherwise. How does the sector use what is real, measured and proven to shut down the noise from those that have an agenda but no foundation for their actions. The Governments, Corporations and retailers need to stop sitting on the fence and nail their flags to mast. Fish Farms cannot fight these battles alone, face the challenges, bear the costs face the closures whilst those who want our fish keep reaping the rewards. As one of the most sustainable producers of protein, healthy fish and as conservationists at heart we have a huge role to play in food security, nutrition, protecting biodiversity our oceans, rivers. We build communities, because they are our livelihoods, our futures. NO AQUACULTURE, NO FISH.

[PUBLICATION] Discover the FAO guide on "Navigating the waters of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change" (UNFCCC) 🌊🌍 ➡️ As climate risks continue to grow, the aquatic food sector plays a critical role in shaping sustainable and resilient food systems. This guide is thus designed to equip stakeholders of the sector — including government officials, fisheries and aquaculture managers, private sector actors, fishers, fish farmers, and researchers — with the tools they need to engage effectively with climate policy processes under the UNFCCC (ONU Climat).
