Book (series)Decision-making in Regional Fishery Bodies or Arrangements: the evolving role of RFBs and international agreement on decision-making processes. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This Circular describes the evolving role of regional fishery bodies or arrangements (RFBs), from the advisory bodies established during the first half of the twentieth century to the current trend of establishing management bodies. It also describes the recognition in recent international instruments of the authority of RFBs as management bodies, a response to the need for strengthened fisheries governance by RFBs. References to the role of RFBs and decision-making are reviewed in the 1982 Un ited Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1993 FAO Compliance Agreement, the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing. This Circular is descriptive only, and presents information on selected RFBs in summary form. There is no assessment or analysis of the decisions taken, as the objective of this review is to promote a better understanding of the evolution of the role of RFBs and relevant international agreement on the elements involved in decision-making processes. -

Also available in:
No results found.The EAF-Nansen Programme, a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Norway, and various regional and national partners, promotes sustainable fisheries management through scientific research and data collection. Since 1975, the Programme has employed the research vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen to gather unique data on marine resources and ecosystems, contributing to the monitoring and assessment of fisheries while addressing global challenges like biodiversity conservation and climate change. Between 2017 and 2023, the EAF-Nansen Programme conducted 62 research surveys involving over 650 scientists, discovered 24 new species, and developed science-based fisheries management plans benefiting nine countries. The state-of-the-art Dr. Fridtjof Nansen research vessel not only gathers data but also serves as a training platform for researchers and early-career scientists. From 2017 to 2023, the Programme trained over 800 individuals in fisheries management, stock assessment, and research, significantly enhancing the capabilities of partner countries. The Programme's extensive data collections from marine areas worldwide are accessible to member countries and stakeholders through an online metadata portal. Moving forward, from 2024 to 2028, the EAF-Nansen Programme will intensify efforts to improve food and nutrition security, with a strong focus on adapting fisheries management to the impacts of climate change. -
