Marine Food Protection

Marine food security means protection of coastal and marine environments ensuring safe and sustainable food production as well as generation of income and employment leading to economic development. Discussion of these issues by various stakeholders including fishermen, fisheries’ experts and managers, scientists, policy makers and consumers are necessary and UNITAR and Hiroshima University hope to provide exactly such a forum for exchange. Speakers are requested to highlight also the current situation and outlook of food security observed in Hiroshima and the Seto Inland Sea
