The responsibility for doing so unquestionably rests with each and every State involved in fishing or the fish trade in one way or another.

Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing continues to seriously undermine the contribution of responsible fisheries to sustainable development.

In Hawaii, the value of recreational fishing far exceeds the estimated 47.4 million value of the longline industry.

They caught and processed crustaceans and a variety of fish.

Fisheries are underdeveloped, with commercial fishing accounting for only a third of the total catch, most of it tuna exported to Japan.

Next to the fishery there is also a booming culture of commerce and trade.

But overfishing is taking a socio economic and environmental toll.

Considering its total contribution to the economy and fishing industry, the destructive impact of industrial longline fishing on our oceans, fisheries, endangered species and government budgets cannot be justified.

It is estimated that 153,849 people are employed in the state in jobs related to recreational fishing while only 20,820 are employed in commercial fishing.

Commercial fishing is the activity of catching fish and other seafood for commercial profit, mostly from wild fisheries.

We are obliged to ensure that the fish that we import is caught sustainably, so that our markets do not fuel the decline of the oceans and the fishing communities that depend on them, especially those in the poorest countries.

Another delegation stated that since fishing was directly linked to the livelihood of many communities, it was necessary to generate new sources of income for fishermen that would enable them to reduce the levels of their fishing activity.

Global demand for fish consumption is growing, and so, too, is the global capacity to catch fish, driving some species to the point of extinction.

They are also involved in gathering, processing and storing products of the land and fisheries.

What actions can be undertaken to improve understanding of the contribution of small scale fisheries to food security and poverty reduction? How can vulnerability in small scale fishing communities be reduced and the added value of small scale fishing activities be increased?

The sustainable fisheries draft resolution stands as an undertaking by the international community to review the impact of fishing activity on marine bed ecosystems.

We stress that the participation of citizens in fishing activities covered by relevant international laws is a principle addressed by our fishing and aquaculture regulations.
