III. HIGH SEAS 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 Panel finds that the available information does not support Saudi Arabia's assertion of ecological damage to its fisheries resources as a result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

(c) Factors limiting the contribution of fisheries to sustainable development (for example, overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, governance and policy issues, and environmental issues linked to aquaculture) (see A 60 63, paras. 209 222)
