Fisheries, International Trade and Sustainable Development

This paper aims to provide a framework for those making and influencing policies to better understand and analyse how key trade policy issues and tools in fisheries relate to and impact on their sustainable development objectives. By providing a comprehensive yet applied basis for debate and analysis, the paper endeavours to help bridge the divide between the different communities and enable dialogue among the different actors and areas. We would like to encourage our readers to take this document as a starting point for further analysis of their specific fishery and country contexts which will provide the necessary basis for identifying their interests and priorities towards integrated policies and negotiating positions in this area.
