INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
Theera Wongsamut, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand, honorable ambassadors of ASEAN-SEAFDEC member countries. Dear directors of the council and leading delegates of ASEAN-SEAFDEC member countries, dear representative from the ASEAN Secretariat,
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
It is therefore important for the fishing sector to determine the path of its future development in order to articulate different objectives, contributing to the process of building the ASEAN Community. The impacts can be the sustainable development of the sector as well as its contribution to the achievement of the MDGs through the process of building the ASEAN Community.
WELCOME REMARKS
OPENING STATEMENT
With this message, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to declare open the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS
In pursuit of the above vision and inspiration, the leaders of the ASEAN member states have aimed to realize an ASEAN Community by 2015. It is therefore important for the fishing industry to chart the course of future development to formulate various objectives, thus contributing to the building process of the ASEAN community.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS
The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries recognizes the important contributions of the small-scale fishing sector to employment, income and food security. Third, raising awareness of the importance and contribution of fisheries to poverty reduction and promoting its inclusion in national development plans and poverty reduction strategies should be promoted, especially through better communication of research messages to policy makers.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS
But more importantly, over the past ten years, many parts of the world have tended to forget the importance of seafood for health benefits. I think with regard to the demand for fish, there are many experts who are debating the three possible scenarios.
ASEAN FISHERIES: STATUS AND TRENDS
This issue is about the carbon credits—the emission allowances of CO2, a climate gas, in specific quantity. The previous fisheries management was born out of fisheries science—the scientific discipline that focuses primarily on biology and the response of fish stocks to fishing.
ASEAN FISHERIES TOWARDS 2020: CHALLENGES AND VISION
What we can say is that we have a critical lack of resource assessment for most species groups in the region. So, we need to improve our traceability and production monitoring because it is one of the drivers for fisheries and fisheries in the region.
