 the charter aims to maximize economic and social benefits for the population, and fully engages key sectors as partners, including fisheries and aquaculture, the seafood industry, marine and coastal tourism, scientific research and shipping. Successful implementation of this charter would be a good example for other SIDS as a means to meet SDG targets and benefit from blue growth.

The 2030 Agenda provides the framework, processes, stakeholder engagement and partnerships that can: (i) allow present and future generations to benefit from aquatic resources; and (ii) help the fisheries and aquaculture sector to feed a growing population with nutritious food and provide economic prosperity, employment opportunities and well-being.
