Abstract

The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small Scale Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) were approved in 2014 under the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) scope. This article discusses the process and analyzes the main conflicts and changes during the FAO technical consultations. The SSF Guidelines show that artisanal fishery involves interdisciplinarity and requires governance in the following themes: ensuring the territory, health, education, safety and conflict resolution with other activities, themes that are beyond the own fishing activity management.
