A Call for Action to the Fish World: A Guide to the Fish-Related Paragraphs of The Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development
A Guide prepared by WorldFish Center The Guide presents tables and a selected verbatim set of the paragraphs and sub paragraphs of the recent Plan of Implementation of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 26 August- 4 September 2002. The selected paragraphs and sub-paragraphs are those most relevant to the sustainable use, management and conservation of fish and other living aquatic resources. It is intended as a quick reference only and readers are referred to the full and formally approved Plan of Implementation at (http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/documents/summit_docs/2309_planfinal.htm). In highlighting the selections here, we have attempted a balance between including all those items that are in any way relevant and providing a focused core set of articles. To further assist the reader find relevant items, we have also provided 2 tables. The first is a table of the chapters, and the relevant paragraphs and sub- paragraphs. The second is a table of the major goals and targets in the Plan that are relevant to fish. This Guide indicates how fish issues are widely and intricately linked to almost every aspect of sustainable development. Few other themes in the Plan would have such a large number of linkages. And, although the WSSD Plan of Implementation is a very comprehensive document, fish and other living aquatic resources are very important in other human dimensions outside the current sustainable development agenda, such as human cultures, gastronomy, ornamentation and recreation to name a few. The Plan also contains several goals and targets directly relevant to the sustainable use and conservation of fish and other living aquatic resources...
