The report emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development.
The publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. The following topics are also explored: aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains.
Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030.

Ensuring responsible and sustainable fisheries management around the world requires standardized, reliable and up-to-date information for sound decision-making. FAO, as the only repository for global fishery and aquaculture data, regularly collects and analyses these statistics.
The FAO Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics Yearbook contains all the most updated data on: capture production, fleet and employment, aquaculture production, commodities and food balance sheets. This booklet provides general notes and summaries for each.

The CARICOM region imports more than one-third of the fish consumed by its population.
Dependency on fish imports in CARICOM is increasing due to rising demand from the population and challenges faced by regional governments in jointly managing their marine fisheries resources.
Aquaculture in the Caribbean region is developing more slowly than in other regions but offers major opportunities for growth if enabling investment environments are created.
The Caribbean region is one of the few regions in the world where a regional level fisheries management plan is not in place – including for commercially important species like spiny lobster and queen conch.
