Blue Transformation leaders wanted – There is a time, it happens in every industry, when its future is decided. Today is that moment for global fisheries and aquaculture. To mark the 80th anniversary of its founding and the 30th anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, FAO is launching an unprecedented call for anyone who has contributed concrete ideas and solutions to the sustainable and responsible development of aquatic food systems. An invitation to raise your hand, get recognised and lead the blue revolution.
The focus is clear: this is not just about celebrating achievements. It is about writing a new chapter together with one goal in mind, to turn fishing and aquaculture into concrete drivers of food security, fight against hunger, poverty reduction and protection of aquatic ecosystems. An endeavour that FAO, which has always been at the centre of the international debate, considers fundamental for the future of our planet.
The call is open to everyone: governments, research institutes, private companies, NGOs, sector associations. Anyone who has made sustainability not a slogan, but a concrete practice, can submit their candidacy. There is time until 30 June 2025 to tell about projects and innovations that have made a difference, contributing to the blue transformation designed by FAO.
It is not just an award. It is an award that offers global visibility to those who have managed to combine innovation, social responsibility and environmental protection. The selected practices will be presented during an international event to be held in the fourth quarter of 2025, a unique opportunity to join a network of excellence and leaders of change.
Fisheries and aquaculture are faced with a strategic choice. Those who know how to play a leading role in this historic phase will guarantee themselves a pioneering role in building aquatic food systems that are sustainable, resilient and fair. FAO is calling, and this is one of those calls that those working in the sector cannot ignore.
