The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) is one of the most important international instruments devised for the management of the living aquatic resources of our planet. This landmark instrument is voluntary, standard-setting and is directed at everyone engaged in the conservation, management and development of fisheries. It aims at establishing principles and standards of behavior for responsible fisheries and aquaculture practices. The 12 drawings made by S Jayaraj, Publications Officer, BOBP-IGO depict important themes of the CCRF and their implementation by the stakeholders.
