Book (series)Adapting to climate change: the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture in the Near East and North Africa region – Workshop Proceedings: FAO/WorldFish Workshop, Abbassa, Egypt, 10-12 November 2009 2011
Also available in:
No results found.A workshop was held in December 2009 with Member Countries and with the purpose of: developing awareness among Member Countries and stakeholders of the need for the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture and of its implementation on the basis of the best available knowledge and information; strengthening capacity among the Near East and North Africa countries for planning and implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture; improving knowledge and awarene ss of the current and future implications of climate change for fisheries and aquaculture; and providing guidance on best practices for adaptive planning and management, and adaptive strategies in general, for coping with climate change. -
Book (series)The potential of spatial planning tools to support the ecosystem approach to aquaculture. 2010
Also available in:
No results found.Attention is presently turning to the processes, methods and tools that allow practical implementation of the ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA).This will require the use of various tools and methodologies, including environmental impact assessments and risk analysis. Ecosystem-based management involves a transition from traditional sector-by-sector planning and decision-making to the more holistic approach of integrated natural resource management at different scales and for ecosystems tha t cross administrative boundaries. An essential element for the implementation of the EAA will be the use of spatial planning tools including Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing and mapping for data management, analysis, modelling and decision-making. These proceedings focus on the status and process of implementing these tools which, in turn, necessitate the development of capacity building, training and promotion of spatial planning among decision-makers and technical staff. The doc ument is organized in two parts. The first, the workshop report, deals with the background of the EAA effort and the genesis of the workshop. Most importantly, it captures the salient contributions of participants from their formal presentations and general discussions. The main conclusions of a review of the status and potential of spatial planning tools, decisionmaking and modelling in implementing the EAA are also included. The review itself, along with an abstract, forms the second part. -
Book (stand-alone)Aquaculture zoning, site selection and area management under the ecosystem approach to aquaculture. A handbook 2017
Also available in:
The ecosystem approach to aquaculture provides the conceptual guideline for spatial planning and management. This publication describes the major steps related to these activities. The rationale for and objectives of each step, the ways (methodologies) to implement it, and the means (tools) that are available to enable a methodology are described in a stepwise fashion. Recommendations to practitioners and policy-makers are provided. A separate policy brief accompanies this paper. The benefits fro m spatial planning and management are numerous and include higher productivity and returns for investors, and more effective mitigation of environmental, economic and social risks, the details of which are provided in this paper. This publication is organized in two parts. Part one is the “Guidance”; it is the main body of the document and describes the processes and steps for spatial planning, including aquaculture zoning, site selection and area management. Part two of the publication includes six annexes that present key topics, including: (i) binding and non-legally binding international instruments, which set the context for sustainable national aquaculture; (ii) biosecurity zoning; (iii) aquaculture certification and zonal management; (iv) an overview of key tools and models that can be used to facilitate and inform the spatial planning process; (v) case studies from ten countries – Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Oman, the Philippines, Turkey, Uganda and the United Kingd om of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and (vi) a workshop report.
