The Philippine government has launched the National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF), a groundbreaking initiative in Asia aimed at improving and protecting small-scale fisheries, in which its focuses are on food security, poverty reduction, and sustainable development through a human rights-based approach. The NPOA-SSF aligns with the FAO’s global roadmap to transform aquatic food systems, ensuring sustainable fisheries and equitable livelihoods and contributes to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
