Creation date: 2002

At its twenty-fourth session, the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) decided to establish a Sub-Committee on Aquaculture to provide a forum for consultation and discussion on aquaculture and to advise COFI on technical and policy matters related to aquaculture and on the work to be performed by FAO in the subject matter field of aquaculture. At its first session, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China, from 18 to 22 April 2002, the Sub-Committee recognized the important role that aquaculture could play in improving livelihoods, generating income, and stimulating national and regional development, and identified a number of key priority areas for future work: It also acknowledged the current inadequacy of Regular Programme funds to carry out successfully the activities recommended during this session. It requested that the FAO Fisheries Department review its Medium-Term Plan for its compatibility with the recommendations made during this session, and develop new programme entities with budget requests, as appropriate, to accommodate these un-funded needs, for submission to the next COFI session. The Sub-Committee requested the FAO Fisheries Department to make a report on its efforts in this regard, and present this to the next session of the Sub-Committee.
