No results found.The Conference was co-hosted by the Governments of Australia and Canada in co-operation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and with the support of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA, and the New South Wales Department of Fisheries, Australia. More than 160 delegates from 26 countries participated and 26 papers were presented. The Conference was held in response to a recommendation made at the 1996 FAO/Japan Technical Consulta tion on Wastage in Fisheries (Tokyo) which identified as a key concern the lack of reliable, basic level data from the majority of global fisheries, particularly when attempting to estimate global discards and the incidental mortality of non-target species. The purpose of the Conference was to address the challenges and opportunities of fisheries monitoring that are common to many fisheries. The Conference speakers, panel discussions, and workshops were organized around the following five main t hemes: 1) Rational for monitoring programmes - conceptual and legal frameworks, 2) Perspectives on monitoring from key stakeholders, 3) Designing, executing and analysing monitoring programmes, 4) Key components and issues for monitoring programmes; and 5) Integrated monitoring. The recommendation that came out of the Conference was presented to the 1999 Meeting of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI). It stated that the FAO Fisheries Department should undertake the preparation of guidelines fo r the integrated monitoring of fisheries within the context of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries with the aim to improve the management of fisheries and the sustainable use of living resources, through the formulation of an appropriate framework for the collection of relevant data and information from fisheries and their associated ecosystems. -

Book (series)The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2023
Special edition
2023Also available in:
No results found.This 2023 special edition of the GFCM’s flagship publication, The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, updates statistics and figures on the status and management of fisheries in the region and includes, for the first time, an overview of regional indicators on the aquaculture sector in Mediterranean and Black Sea countries. It aims to deliver useful and reliable data to a wide audience as an essential source of information on fisheries and aquaculture in the region and a key tool to support decision-making and monitor progress towards the goals set by the GFCM. The fifth instalment of its series, this publication covers topics of regional importance in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors over the course of seven chapters. Fleet status and capture fisheries production are the focus of the first two chapters, which include figures on fishing capacity and landings by country and fleet segment. Chapter three captures the human dimension behind the region’s fisheries through socioeconomic data on revenue and employment. In chapter four, information on discards is updated and categorized for the main fishing fleets in each GFCM subregion, along with details on the species that make up this important component of the catch. Chapter five reviews the status of fisheries resources, especially regional trends and trends in priority species, while chapter seven summarizes relevant existing and new adopted measures towards the sustainability of key fisheries and the protection of vulnerable ecosystems. Aquaculture is included in this edition for the first time, described in terms of volume and socioeconomic indicators in chapter six.
