The Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy: Breaking the cycle of poverty in fishing communities
Social protection exists when governments develop policies and programmes to address economic, environmental and social vulnerabilities to food insecurity and poverty. The Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy (CCCFP) is one such policy which Caribbean Countries believe can help to enhance the income, status and capacities of fisherfolk; thus, enabling them to sustainably provide for themselves and their family members.
By stimulating improved fisheries management and production, the CCCFP can contribute to social protection in fishing communities, which provides greater income stability and ability to manage risk, thus contributing to reducing poverty and food insecurity in the longer-term.
Fisherman’s Day 2015 is an occasion to focus the region’s attention on the crucial role that can be played by the CCCFP in eradicating hunger and poverty.

The Sanitary & Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) Programme: Positioning CARIFORUM to Fish Where the Big Fish Are
To feed a man - THE CASE FOR A STRONGER FISHERIES SECTOR
A popular proverb tells us that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; but if you teach that man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime! For thousands of years, seafood has been respected all over the world as a good way for people to feed their families and also put some money into their pockets. In fact, fish is the food product that is sold most in international markets, with tropical shrimp being among the most valuable fishery commodity. Today, although activities related to fisheries continue to provide an important source of employment and export revenue to many African, Caribbean and Paci fic (ACP) countries, there has been rising concern over food security as well as the safe handling of seafood products. Food security refers to a country’s ability to produce enough wholesome and nutritious foods to supply to all its’ people, at all times.
In response to these concerns and challenges, the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) is making eff orts to develop eff ective food safety systems that will provide better ways of handling seafood products; and that would guarantee a brighter future for the fi sheries sector. the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures Programme is a big step in the right direction.
