 and justice (SDG 16) are also highly relevant, while the agreed means of implementation and the revitalized global partnership (SDG 17) provide the basis for realization of the 2030 Agenda in all food and agriculture sectors, including fisheries, aquaculture and post-harvest fisheries.

The importance of oceans, seas and coasts as well as rivers, lakes and wetlands - including their resources and ecosystems as utilized by fisheries and aquaculture - for sustainable development is now widely recognized by the international community. This was evident at the 1992 Rio Summit, as embodied in Chapter 17 (as well as in Chapters 14 and 18) of Agenda 21, and runs through the historic 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). It has been promoted most recently in the Rio+20 outcome document,21 where Members called for "holistic and integrated approaches to sustainable development that will guide humanity to live in harmony with nature and lead to efforts to restore the health and integrity of the Earth's ecosystem."

Several SDGs are relevant to fisheries and aquaculture and to the sustainable development of the sector (see section Global agenda - global ambitions, p. 80). Indeed, SDG 14 (Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development) expressly focuses on the oceans, underlining the importance of the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and seas and of their resources for sustainable development, including through their contributions to poverty eradication, sustained economic growth, food security and creation of sustainable livelihoods and decent work.

To allow oceans, seas and marine resources to continue to contribute to human well-being, SDG 14 recognizes the need to manage and conserve marine resources while supporting those ecosystem services that are of crucial importance for humans. A more sustainable use of resources, changes in production and consumption patterns, and improved management and regulation of human activities can help reduce negative environmental impacts and allow current and future generations to benefit from aquatic ecosystems. Promoting sustainable fishing and fish farming practices will not only contribute to resource and ecosystem management and conservation but ensure the world's oceans and seas are able to deliver nutritious food.

Along with important contributions to global food and nutrition security, livelihoods and national economic growth, oceans, seas and inland waters provide valuable ecosystem goods and services for the planet. About 50 percent of carbon in the atmosphere that becomes bound in natural systems is cycled into the oceans and inland waters. However, these same oceans and

 The importance of oceans, seas and seashore as well as rivers, lake and wetlands - including their resource and ecosystems as utilized by fisheries and aquaculture - for sustainable development is now wide recognized by the international community. This was discernible at the 1992 Rio Summit, as embodied in Chapter 17 (as well as in Chapters 14 and 18) of Agenda 21, and range through the historic 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code).

 To allow ocean, seas and marine resources to continue to lend to human well - being, SDG 14 spot the motivation to manage and conserve marine resources while corroborate those ecosystem services that are of crucial importance for humans. A more sustainable habit of resources, changes in production and consumption convention, and improved management and rule of human activities can help reduce negative environmental impacts and let current and future generations to profit from aquatic ecosystems. Promoting sustainable fishing and pisces farming practices will not only put up to resource and ecosystem management and conservation but ensure the worldly concern's oceans and seas are able to deliver nutritious food.
