fishing
• 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
• Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine
technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission
Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean
health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of
developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed
countries
• Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
