A new fisheries standard emerged Thursday from the second International Conference of the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) hosted by the government of Indonesia.
The FiTI standard "marks the beginning of the implementation phase of the initiative through which FiTI countries will increase transparency and participation in fisheries governance for the benefit of a more sustainable management of marine fisheries," said the organization.
Four other pilot countries -- Indonesia, Mauritania, Senegal, Seychelles, Guinea -- already started to implement this standard.
