Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSmart licensing of artisanal fisheries in the coastal waters of Tanzania (Mainland) with emphasis on small pelagics fisheries 2014
Also available in:
No results found.During October-November 2013 a mini fisheries frame survey was carried out in the districts bordering the Tanzanian coast of the Indian Ocean. Its purpose was to obtain an overview of the distribution of fishermen and fishing vessels along the coast and in order to find out to what extent registration and licensing of fishing vessels and fishermen takes place. The information led to the estimation of potential revenues in case all artisanal vessels and fishermen were licensed. Their registration would be a great step towards combating Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported fishing in Tanzanian waters. The results of the mini frame survey were compared with those of the latest frame survey in 2009. An increase in fishermen and a slight decrease in vessels could be observed. The registration and licensing rates increased from 27 to 37% over a period of four years. It may take long before the entire fleet is registered and licensed. Therefore it is proposed to make use of existing technology , using mobile phones and the so-called “mobile money or smart money” to collect license fees (and registration fees). This system is well known in East Africa and payment points are found in every village and town. This system will guarantee a secure and transparent way of recording licencing information. Upon receipt of the funds the fishermen and fishing vessels will be provided with badges and license plates to demonstrate their compliance with regulations. Analyses have been prepared to ind icate the increase in revenues if licence fees could be increased to the equivalents of US$ 15 and US$ 20 per year. These revenues are considerable and would easily meet the initial costs for the establishment of the system. This technological way of revenue collection provides other advantages, too, for instance the creation of a network that allows the distribution of bulk messages to reach thousands of beneficiaries in a short time, to warn for instance against extreme weather conditions, to coordinate search and rescue operations, or to remind fishermen to pay their fees, etc. The results of the mini survey and the proposed system for licensing have been discussed during a workshop in Bagamoyo and the discussions led to a number of recommendations to strengthen the line of command between the Fisheries Department and the District Fisheries Officers, to plough back revenues from fisheries operations into the fisheries sector; to simplify the requirements from another institution res ponsible for shipping and to test the new system in three districts Pangani, Bagamoyo and Kinondoni (PABAKI). The above system is in line with the latest Fisheries Management Plan for small pelagic fisheries based on the Ecosystem Approach to Fishing that all fishermen and fishing vessels be registered and licensed. The method may apply to the entire artisanal fleet operating in the Tanzanian coastal waters. The SmartFish programme could herewith establish a system of Smart Licenses for Smart fi shermen. -

Also available in:
No results found.The project, funded by the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, surveyed 16 countries and island territories. The objectives were to determine the types and magnitude of safety problems confronting small scale artisanal fishermen in the Pacific region, to catalogue current programs or projects which directly address this issue and to draw conclusions based on the information collected. General recommendations for measures top impro ved safety for artisanal fishermen are offered for the region as a whole.......

Book (stand-alone)General interest book地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
Also available in:
在很多重要文件中，传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食，但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面，地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例，研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上，这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程，与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素，还要考虑生物活性化合物，后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后，本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题：规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性，并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品，因此，附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。 -
