あらすじ・解説
In this episode we speak to Sven Biermann who is the Executive Director of Fisheries Transparency Initiative or FiTI. Marine Fisheries is critical to food security and plays a major role in the economy of coastal countries. However, similar to any other natural resources marine fish stocks have to be exploited sustainably. It is the fundamental obligation of governments to manage fisheries responsibly on behalf of their citizens as a public asset. The availability of credible information to the public is one of many key aspects of sustainable management of fisheries. The Fisheries Transparency Initiative has been developed as a unique effort that complements and supports other national, regional and global efforts for achieving responsible fisheries governance. FiTI is a global partnership that seeks to increase transparency and participation for a more sustainable management of marine fisheries. By making fisheries management more transparent and inclusive, the FiTI promotes informed public debates on fisheries policies and supports the long-term contribution of the sector to national economies and the well-being of citizens and businesses that depend on a healthy marine environment.
