THE STATE OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE 2018
Update on development and application of
SDG 14 indicators under FAO’s custodianship
„ „ promoting technical consensus-building on
possible methodologies for reporting on the
target 14.7 indicator;
„ „ collaborating with the UN Oceans (UN, 2017a)
network on methodolog y development for the
target 14.c indicator;
„ „ providing capacit y development, through
targeted training workshops and online
learning materials, to countries on SDG
14 fisheries-specific reporting at the
national level.
As a custodian agency for the four fisheries-
related SDG 14 indicators (presented in Table 19),
FAO (2017g) has continued its efforts of:
„ „ reporting on the proportion of marine fish
stocks within biologically sustainable limits
(target 14.4);
„ „ developing and applying available
methodologies for indicators for targets 14.6
and 14.b;

Indicator

14.4
By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing,
illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive
fishing practices and implement science-based management
plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time
feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum
sustainable yield as determined by their biological
characteristics 14.4.1
Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable
levels
14.6
By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which
contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies
that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing
that appropriate and effective special and differential
treatment for developing and least developed countries should
be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries
subsidies negotiation 14.6.1
Progress by countries in the degree of implementation of
international instruments aiming to combat illegal,
unreported and unregulated fishing
14.7
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to small island
developing States and least developed countries from the
sustainable use of marine resources, including through
sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism 14.7.1
Sustainable fisheries as a proportion of GDP in small
island developing States, least developed countries and
all countries
14.b
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine
resources and markets 14.b.1
Progress by countries in adopting and implementing a
legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which
recognizes and protects access rights for small-scale
fisheries
FAO as contributing agency, UN Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS) as custodian agency
14.c
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and
their resources by implementing international law as reflected
in UNCLOS [United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea], which provides the legal framework for the conservation
and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled
in Paragraph 158 of “The future we want”

their resources
