No results found.In order to contribute to the sustainable development goals, capture fisheries and aquaculture sectors have been assigned important tasks to support the food security and improved nutrition and eradication of poverty through realizing blue economic growth (Sustainable growth of economies derived from marine and inland water ecosystems and living aquatic resources) with responsible and efficient use of marine and inland water and associated natural resources and conservation of marine and inland water ecosystems and aquatic biodiversity. Given the global leading position of Asian fisheries in production and direct dependence on the sector, the Asia and Pacific Region will need to take a leading role in achieving the goal considering its current share in global fish production and trends of the sectoral development in the different regions. -

No results found.The CCLME project objective is to “enable the countries of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem to address priority transboundary concerns on declining fisheries, associated biodiversity and water quality through governance reforms, investments and management programs”. A Preliminary TDA has confirmed the focus of regional concern on depleted fisheries and on habitat, associated biodiversity and water quality critical to fisheries. The principal outcomes of the project will be: 1) Multi-cou ntry agreement on priority transboundary issues; 2) Multi-country agreement on 6 governance reforms and investments to address priority transboundary issues; 3) A sustainable legal/institutional framework for the CCLME; 4) Strengthened existing transboundary waters institutions and regional policies and instruments; 5) Stakeholders’ involvement in transboundary water-body priority setting and strategic planning; 6) Improved knowledge and capacity to address concerns on ‘Marine Living Resources’; 7) Improved knowledge and capacity to address concerns on ‘Biodiversity, Habitat and Water Quality’; 8) Demonstrated management actions and related costs/benefits valuations addressing priority transboundary concerns on ‘Marine Living Resources’ (project component 2) and ‘Biodiversity, Habitat and Water Quality’ (component 3). Specific actions to address transboundary concerns prior to the SAP will include multi-country policy proposals (as annexes to the SAP), legal, and institutional reforms, demonstrations of shared stock management, selective trawling gear, MPAs for fisheries and mangrove restoration. -

No results found.The primary objective of this PDF Activity is the preparation of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) to identify the principal shared problems and their root causes, as well as national, regional and, particularly, transboundary priorities in the region. This will provide the basis for the subsequent development of an agreed regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for the solution of the identified problems, and the development of the Full Project. The project will maintain close linkage s with mechanisms developed to address land and water-related environmental issues in the major river basins draining to the LME (Senegal, Volta) and the neighbouring GEF International Waters projects (Guinea Current LME, Benguela Current LME). It is closely related to the regional implementation of the Global Programme of Action for Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities, relevant components and protocols of the Abidjan Convention and those of the Accra Ministerial Decl aration.
