It seems to me that the report is good and very interesting. It is great that it includes a whole section on the particular links between sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, food security and gender issues.
In the same vein, I think it would be worth adding a section on the links between sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, food security, traditional knowledge and Aboriginal people. In fact, fish has been a traditional food of many Aboriginal people (Inuits in Northern Canada, coastal Aboriginal people in Chile or Canada, Aboriginal people from the Amazon basin in Southern America etc.). Today, many issues are threatening the traditional diet of those people and hence their cultural heritage and food security. Many initiatives are also being undertaken in order to revert those threats, some of them being attempts to promote sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.
I would have liked to make a more in-depth contribution on that subject but I unfortunately found out a bit late about the present consultation. Should it be of some interest, I suppose I could submit a short concept paper on that matter.
I hope this idea will be useful and I will be looking forward to reading the next version of the report. Thank you.
