Abstract

Blue foods, primarily coastal pelagic fish, reef fish, and invertebrates, are integral to coastal food systems in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and are increasingly embedded in food policy platforms. This paper discusses the collaborative development of a Blue Food Assessment for the Pacific (BFA-P). The BFA-P aims to strengthen the role of blue foods in food systems thinking and actions in PICTs in the face of climate change, a dependence on food imports, and high rates of diet-related non-communicable diseases. It focuses on six main research themes that support a coastal food systems approach to improve environmental outcomes, nutrition and human health, and social and economic objectives in PICTs. Climate change, effective governance, innovative partnerships, and equity underpin all areas of research. Combining current scientific evidence with traditional and indigenous knowledge will be essential for sustaining coastal Pacific food systems and the long-term resilience and prosperity of Pacific people.
