Synopsis (short abstract) Roadmap to a Blue Port is intended to assist fishing ports to implement a Blue Transformation approach at strategic and operational level through the involvement of stakeholders, the implementation of projects and actions, and the measurement of impact. Moreover, it is a tool that will help local, regional, and national authorities to gain a better understanding of the process of transformation that is required to become a blue port. This guidance document is designed to be useful, comprehensive, didactic, and user-friendly. The guidance document is structured around three parts: a theoretical framework; principles and operational steps to become a blue port, including tools for implementation; and recommendations and conclusions. The document is the result of several consultations in which fishing ports, international port organizations, and international and multilateral organizations participated. Several participatory workshops and technical working group meetings took place during the consultative process. A review of good practices has enriched the process.

    This fiche describes work undertaken by the SmartFish Programme to support SME’s in achieving value-addition (including by reducing losses). Particularly, SME’s which rely on small-pelagic resources which are gaining a growing interest from the burgeoning middle class urban African consumer. The fiche also summarises a number of key lessons that could be used to inform similar work in the future, in comparable contexts.

    Current and future genetic technologies for fisheries and aquaculture: Implications for the work of FAO 2022

    Within the last few decades, advances in genetic technologies have created powerful and efficient tools for fisheries stock identification, genetic improvement and domestication of aquaculture species and characterization of changes in aquatic life due to environmental or anthropogenic influences. Emerging genetic tools are improving our understanding of organisms in aquatic ecosystems, in terms of diversity, distribution, abundance, movement, function and adaptation, and are being applied in aquaculture facilities and across fishery and aquaculture value chains. In this study expert elicitation was used to examine and predict current and potential future (10 year) impacts of the application of these novel technologies in fisheries and aquaculture. Highlighting the need to prepare sectors for likely changes that will follow. All suggestions received were collated into themes, to provide a conceptual framework that partitions potential impacts, and calls for required action — action required on governance, management and practical application of these innovations at both a national and international level.
