Summary:Recognizing the growing importance of aquaculture, the main functions of this forum are to identify and discuss major issues and trends in global aquaculture development that require action to address the needs of the sector, as well as action that will improve the contribution of aquaculture to food security, economic development and poverty alleviation. [...]the session was postponed, and eventually it was agreed to convene it exceptionally in virtual mode from Rome, Italy, with a somewhat lighter agenda than usual. From the multitude of activities and projects reported, there will be one workstream that is likely to generate much discussion: the progress made towards the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA), which are expected to guide government authorities and policymakers in their efforts of promoting the implementation of Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and enable aquaculture to effectively participate in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
