Dear COFI Members and observers,<\/p>\n
The rapid expansion of industrial aquaculture in inland and coastal areas has contributed to the violation and denial of the human rights of small-scale fishing communities and Indigenous Peoples. Industrial aquaculture projects have caused conflict in communities, by dispossessing peoples of access to fisheries territories and resources, disrupting our local markets, and negatively impacting our livelihoods and food security.<\/p>\n
We therefore call upon governments to ensure that aquaculture is not being developed at the expense of small-scale fisheries, and to incorporate the human rights principles of the Small-scale Fisheries Guidelines into all national fisheries and aquaculture policies. Central to this, is the participation of small-scale fishers and Indigenous Peoples in all decision-making processes that effect our livelihoods. Small-scale fisheries produce two-thirds of all catches for direct human consumption, and our central role in global food security must be protected and ensured well into the future.<\/p>\n
ESP<\/strong><\/p>\n **********<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Estimados miembros y observadores del COFI:<\/p>\n La r\u00e1pida expansi\u00f3n de la acuicultura industrial en \u00e1reas continentales y costeras ha contribuido a la violaci\u00f3n y negaci\u00f3n de los derechos humanos de las comunidades pesqueras en peque\u00f1a escala y los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas. Los proyectos de acuicultura industrial han causado conflictos en las comunidades, al despojar a las personas del acceso a los territorios y recursos pesqueros, perturbar nuestros mercados locales e impactar negativamente en nuestros medios de vida y seguridad alimentaria.<\/p>\n Por lo tanto, hacemos un llamado a los gobiernos para que garanticen que la acuicultura no se desarrolle a expensas de la pesca en peque\u00f1a escala, y que incorporen los principios de derechos humanos de las Directrices para la pesca en peque\u00f1a escala en todas las pol\u00edticas nacionales de pesca y acuicultura. Para esto, es central la participaci\u00f3n de los pescadores artesanales y los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas en todos los procesos de toma de decisiones que afectan nuestros medios de vida. La pesca en peque\u00f1a escala produce dos tercios de todas las capturas para el consumo humano directo, y nuestro papel central en la seguridad alimentaria mundial debe protegerse y garantizarse en el futuro.<\/p>\n FR<\/strong><\/p>\n *********<\/strong><\/p>\n Chers membres et observateurs du COFI,<\/p>\n L’expansion rapide de l’aquaculture industrielle dans les zones int\u00e9rieures et c\u00f4ti\u00e8res a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la violation et au d\u00e9ni des droits humains des communaut\u00e9s de p\u00eacheurs artisanaux et des peuples autochtones. Les projets d’aquaculture industrielle ont provoqu\u00e9 des conflits dans les communaut\u00e9s, en privant les populations de l’acc\u00e8s aux territoires et aux ressources halieutiques, en perturbant nos march\u00e9s locaux et en ayant un impact n\u00e9gatif sur nos moyens de subsistance et notre s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire.<\/p>\n Nous appelons donc les gouvernements \u00e0 veiller \u00e0 ce que l’aquaculture ne se d\u00e9veloppe pas au d\u00e9triment de la p\u00eache artisanale et \u00e0 int\u00e9grer les principes des droits de l’homme des Directives sur la p\u00eache artisanale dans toutes les politiques nationales de p\u00eache et d’aquaculture. Au c\u0153ur de cela se trouve la participation des p\u00eacheurs artisanaux et des peuples autochtones \u00e0 tous les processus d\u00e9cisionnels qui affectent nos moyens de subsistance. La p\u00eache artisanale produit les deux tiers de toutes les captures destin\u00e9es \u00e0 la consommation humaine directe, et notre r\u00f4le central dans la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire mondiale doit \u00eatre prot\u00e9g\u00e9 et assur\u00e9 \u00e0 l’avenir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear COFI Members and observers, The rapid expansion of industrial aquaculture in inland and coastal areas has contributed to the violation and denial of the human rights of small-scale fishing communities and Indigenous Peoples.
