At its 32nd Session in July 2016, the Committee on Fisheries requested a feasibility study on the proposal of the Government of the Republic of Korea to establish a World Fisheries University under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. As a result, FAO and the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans of the Republic of Korea signed a Memorandum of Understanding in May 2019 on a Pilot Programme for the FAO World Fisheries University.
One of the objectives of the FAO World Fisheries University Pilot Programme is to provide education on the fisheries industry and science to contribute to the enhancement of fisheries resources, fisheries, aquaculture and fisheries economics and policies. The World Fisheries University will be hosted in Pukyong National University located in Busan, Republic of Korea.
