10. Future challenges – fisheries and
aquaculture
• Climate changes
– temperature increase, weather worsening, acidic
oceans, sea level rise, migration of fish species
• Aquaculture
– fish health, start feeding, water quality, new species,
food safety, technology
• Fisheries
– Resource management, coastal zone management,
marine protected areas, processing
• Marine biotechnology
– Utilization of byproducts from waste material and
bycatch

11. Academia and capacity building
• “Adequate country capacity is one of the critical
missing factors in current efforts to meet the MDGs.
Development efforts in many of the poorest
countries will fail, even if they are supported with
substantially increased funding, if the development
of sustainable capacity is not given greater and
more careful attention”. (OECD/DAC 2006)
