The South China Sea is not only a battleground for state sovereignty but also for access to its abundant resources.
Fishery and aquaculture industries are economic sectors from which millions of people in the region derive their income. Fishery and aquaculture also form important aspects of coastal cultures.
In this breakfast meeting, we learn how fishery communities engage in, and are affected by, tensions and clashes in the South China Sea.

ABOUT THE SERIES

In recent history, not least due to China’s rise as a regional hegemon, the South China Sea has become one of the most critical flashpoints of our times.
