Indonesia: A recent workshop in Bali, organized by Dialogue Earth and China Blue, brought together Indonesian and Chinese fishing communities and NGOs to discuss issues such as climate change, conservation, and sustainable livelihoods. Highlighted during the meeting on the differences and similarities, China, traditionally agrarian, has the world's largest fishing fleet with millions of small-scale fishers, while Indonesia, an archipelago of around 17,000 islands, with an estimation of 2.5 million small-scale fishing households. Both nations face challenges in defining small-scale fisheries, with China focusing on boat size and Indonesia on boat weight.
