    Multiple frame agricultural surveys. Volume 1. Current surveys based on area and list sampling methods 1996
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Much of the required information for the agricultural sector, such as crop production, livestock inventories, and basic social and economic data, is obtained through periodic national, multi-purpose agricultural data collection programmes called "Current Agricultural Surveys". This manual describes the sample design, organization and implementation procedures for these current agricultural surveys using multiple frame probability sampling methods, which is a new methodology currently being adopted by many countries around the world. Specific case studies will be presented in Volume II. This handbook introduces the subject and describes the practical aspects of list and area frame construction and sample selection methods while recognizing the resource and specialized staff constraints faced by developing countries.

    Handbook for data collection on recreational fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea 2021
    Also available in:

    Marine recreational fisheries are an integral part of Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal life and are commonly practiced throughout the region. Recreational fisheries also represent an important driver of coastal tourism, which constitutes one of the region’s most important maritime sectors in terms of gross value added and employment. However, despite their ubiquity and potential socio-economic contribution, recreational fisheries are a data-poor sector and can vary widely from one country to another, thus impairing proper consideration of the recreational fisheries sector in policy-making and undermining efforts towards sustainable fisheries management at the regional level. The main goal of this handbook is therefore to provide a clear methodological framework to allow Mediterranean and Black Sea countries to implement suitably harmonized sampling and survey monitoring schemes for recreational fisheries. This handbook establishes a minimum set of necessary information for monitoring recreational fisheries, while, at the same time, allowing for flexibility to accommodate national specificities and data collection needs. It also provide guidance on the data analysis process as well as advice to successfully engage stakeholders in the data collection process.
