The BGI is aligned and contributes fully to FAO's new Strategic Framework, its strategic objectives and outputs. The BGI is designed around sustainable capture fisheries and aquaculture, livelihoods and food systems, and economic growth from aquatic ecosystem services. It brings support and focus to enhance the implementation of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code) and the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture (EAF/EAA). Reflecting the targets of SDG 14 and other SDGs, it especially focuses on the many vulnerable coastal and fisheries-dependent communities where ecosystems are already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and other harmful practices. Looking to harness the potential of oceans, seas and coasts, as well as that of rivers, lakes and wetlands, the BGI's aims are:

  Eliminate harmful fishing practices and overfishing and instead incentivize approaches that promote growth, improve conservation, build sustainable fisheries and end IUU fishing.

  Ensure tailor-made measures that foster cooperation between countries.

  Act as a catalyst for policy development, investment and innovation in support of food security, poverty reduction, and the sustainable management of living aquatic resources.

Within this framework, FAO focuses its work on a variety of activities:

  advancing aquaculture to promote policies and good practices for farming of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants in a responsible and sustainable manner;

  supporting implementation of the Code and related instruments to restore fish stocks, combat IUU fishing and promote good fish production practices and growth in a sustainable manner;

  encouraging efficient seafood value chains and improved livelihoods and decent work conditions, especially for women and youth;

  promoting regulatory regimes and approaches to restore vital coastal habitats, biodiversity and ecosystem services (carbon sequestration, water filtration, temperature regulation, protection from erosion and from extreme weather events, ecotourism, etc.).

To support the BGI, FAO is working at the global, regional and national levels, partnering with international organizations (e.g. United Nations Environment Programme [UNEP], Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Global Environment Facility [GEF], and World Bank), fisheries and aquaculture organizations (e.g. Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific, and WorldFish Center), civil society (e.g. International Collective in Support of Fishworkers, and World Forum of

Looking to harness the electric potential of oceans, ocean and coasts, equally well as that of rivers, lakes and wetlands, the BGI's aims are:
