South Africa, Chile collaborate to advance sustainable fisheries, aquaculture
The governments of South Africa and Chile have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on fisheries and aquaculture.
The countries will soon establish a joint technical committee to oversee the implementation of initiatives and coordinate regular bilateral meetings to ensure ongoing cooperation.
The agreement is aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and collaborative efforts between the two countries in promoting sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, as both Chile and South Africa recognise the significance of these sectors to economic growth, employment and food security.
The primary areas of cooperation will include research and supporting scientific advancements in sustainable practices; the exchange of technology and best practices, particularly on responsible farming methods; capacity building and knowledge sharing, including for small-scale and industrial fisheries management, regulatory approaches and enforcement measures; and combatting illegal and unregulated fishing that impact on marine resources.
Both countries have committed to engage with relevant international forums and regional fisheries management organisations to uphold best practices and sustainable resource management principles.
“Through this strategic partnership, South Africa and Chile aim to create new opportunities for development and innovation in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, ensuring marine resources are managed responsibly and sustainably for the benefit of both countries,” says Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Deputy Minister Narend Singh.
