 Bangkok, Thailand, 21 January 2010, SEAFDEC organized a Press Conference to announce the “ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020” or so-called “Fish for the People 2020”, which would be jointly organized by the ASEAN and SEAFDEC, and hosted by the Department of Fisheries Thailand, tentatively from 13 to 17 June 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand.
ASEAN and SEAFDEC jointly organized in 2001 the “ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the New Millennium: “Fish for the People”. Based on the “Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region” adopted by the ASEAN-SEAFDEC ministers during that time, ASEAN and SEAFDEC have made significant progress in the implementation of priority actions to support sustainable fisheries development and food security of the region. However, with the deteriorating state of the fishery resources and the emerging fisheries-related issues and initiatives during the past decade, ASEAN and SEAFDEC are now planning to organize another Conference targeting to address the emerging situation and priority issues that are envisaged to impede the sustainable contribution of fisheries to food security of the region.
