FAO has awarded the Margarita Lizárraga Medal to the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) in Thailand.
In 1997 the FAO Conference instituted the Margarita Lizárraga Medal to be awarded every two years to a person or organisation that has served with distinction in the application of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Medal pays tribute to Margarita Lizárraga, Senior Fishery Officer, for her decisive role in promotion the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.
