The American Red Cross funded FAO project (OSRO/INS/601/ ARC) supports
sustainable recovery and development of fisheries and aquaculture in the

building, both at government and community levels, and the introduction of
best practices the project aims to encourage:

§ improved coordination and planning;

§ sustainable fisheries management practices

§ sustainable aquaculture

§ responsible fish utilization.

Improving the way in which fish is handled and marketed and achieving a high
and consistent standard of fish quality is often a result of buyer pressure
and demand, combined with the implementation of appropriate supporting
legislation. This project is focused on improving the awareness of consumers
as well as fishermen, traders and processors in how to assess and maintain
fish quality and is designed to encourage the future demand and supply of
quality fish.
