Book (series)GuidelineReport of the Technical Consultation on Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade. Rome, 5-7 November 2007. [Published only on the Web site] / Rapport de la Consultation technique sur les Directives techniques pour un commerce responsable du poisson. Rome, 5-7 novembre 2007. [Publié seulement sur le site Web] / Informe de la Consulta Técnica sobre las Directrices Técnicas para un Comercio Pesquero Responsable. Roma, 5-7 de noviembre de 2007. [Publicado solamente en el sitio Web] 2008The Technical Consultation on Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade was convened by FAO at the request of the twenty-seventh session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) (Rome, 5-9 March 2007) and the tenth session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (Santiago de Compostela, 30 May - 2 June 2006). The Consultation was attended by 34 Members of FAO and by observers from two intergovernmental organizations. The Consultation welcomed the draft Technical Guidelines. Many dele gations noted the importance of ensuring that the draft Technical Guidelines did not result in the creation of additional barriers to trade. The Technical Consultation also agreed that responsible fish trade objectives must be underpinned by responsible management practices. Recognizing that the available time did not permit the Technical Consultation to complete its consideration of the draft guidelines in their entirety, the delegates agreed that the Technical Consultation be re-open ed at a later stage for discussion of the remaining paragraphs.

No results found.The Third Regional Workshop on Caribbean Billfish Management and Conservation of the WECAFC/OSPESCA/CRFM/CFMC Working Group on Recreational Fisheries was held in Bridgetown, Barbados, from 4 to 6 April 2017. Thirty-five representatives from thirteen Caribbean countries and territories, along with various organizations and projects, attended the workshop. Information about the values represented by billfish stocks in the Caribbean was presented and discussed in pursuit of solutions to increase the value of these resources for the Caribbean states. Successful billfish capture and stock value conservation examples were presented and discussed, as were the policy, legislative and management contexts within which billfish fisheries currently takes place in the region. The latest stock assessment data were presented, which illustrated stock declines and the current level of fisheries pressure on the stocks. A third draft of the Caribbean Billfish Management and Conservation Plan was discussed, as was the draft Subregional FAD Management Plan. Business case opportunities sought through the Caribbean Billfish Project were also clarified. A draft WECAFC management recommendation was prepared by the Working Group, recognizing the concerns over billfish stock status, the current fisheries pressure on these stocks and proposing regional concerted action. Participants revised the Terms of Reference pertaining to the Working Group on Recreational Fisheries, updated the work plan and elected its convener. The workshop was carried out under the guidance and supervision of the FAO Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) with support of the Caribbean Billfish Project GCP/SLC/001/WBK. El tercer Taller sobre el Ordenamiento y la Conservación de los Picudos del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Pesca Recreativa de la COPACO/OSPESCA/CRFM/CFMC, fue realizado en Bridgetown, Barbados, del 4-a 6 de abril de 2017. Treinta y cinco representantes de trece países del Caribe y los territorios asistieron al taller, a la par de otras organizaciones y proyectos. La información sobre los valores que representan las poblaciones de picudos en el Caribe fue presentada y discutida en búsqueda de soluciones para mejorar el valor de estos recursos en los estados del Caribe. Las capturas exitosas de picudos y el valor de varios ejemplos de conservación de las poblaciones, fueron presentados y discutidos, lo mismo que los contextos políticos y jurídicos en los que actualmente la pesca de picudos se realiza en la región. La Última información sobre datos del estado de las poblaciones fue presentada, en la que se ilustra el declive de las poblaciones y el estado actual de la presión de las pesqueras sobre las poblaciones y las propuestas para una acción. Un tercer borrador del Plan de Ordenamiento y Conservación de los Picudos fue discutido, lo mismo que el Plan Sub-regional de Ordenamiento de la pesca con DAPs. Las oportunidades de negocios a través del Proyecto Picudos del Caribe, fueron también aclaradas. Se preparó un borrador de recomendaciones sobre ordenamiento por el Grupo de Trabajo de la COPACO, reconociendo las preocupaciones sobre el estado de las poblaciones de picudos, la presión actual de las pesqueras sobre estas poblaciones y las propuestas regionales de acción concertada. Los participantes revisaron los Términos de Referencia del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Pesca Recreativa, actualizaron el plan de trabajo y eligieron el convocante. El taller se realizó bajo la supervisión de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro occidental (COPACO) con el apoyo del Proyecto Picudos del Caribe GCP/SLC/001/WBK.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyFisheries of the Pacific Islands
Regional and national information (2018)
2018Also available in:
No results found.The Pacific Island region consists of fourteen independent countries and eight territories located in the western and central Pacific Ocean. In this area there are about 200 high islands and some 2 500 low islands and atolls. The main categories of marine fishing in the area are: - Offshore fishing. This is undertaken mainly by large, industrial-scale fishing vessels. Approximately 1 100 of these vessels operate in the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of Pacific Island countries, mainly using purse-seine and longline gear to catch tuna. - Coastal fishing. This can be divided into three categories: (1) small-scale commercial fisheries (also referred to as “artisanal”), which can be further subdivided into those supplying domestic markets, and those producing export commodities; (2) subsistence fisheries, which support rural economies and are extremely important to the region’s nutrition and food security; and (3) industrial-scale shrimp fisheries, which in the region occur only in Papua New Guinea. The region’s fishery resources can be broadly split into two main categories: oceanic, and coastal or inshore. Oceanic resources include tunas, billfish and allied species. They are characterized by an open-water pelagic habitat, and potentially extensive individual movements. Coastal or inshore resources include a wide range of finfish and invertebrates. They are characterized by their shallow-water habitats or demersal lifestyles, and restriction of individual movements to coastal areas. This paper discusses these resource categories, with a focus on the major types of fishing, the important species, the status of the resources, and the fisheries management that occurs. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal atlas of AIS-based fishing activity
Challenges and opportunities
2019Also available in:
No results found.With the advances in information technology, it is becoming possible to create a global database of fishing effort by gear type with an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Such a database has the potential to assist with fisheries management and research around the globe. When initiating this publication, FAO intended to present this potential by reviewing AIS-based data in context of global and regional knowledge on fisheries, and to communicate the main findings as well as strengths and limitations of these data and current processing methodology. The aim of this document, hereafter referred to as the Atlas, is to enable stakeholders to understand the opportunity and challenges of mapping and analysing fishing activity with AIS data. For each FAO Area, based on AIS data, this Atlas presents the number and percentage of vessels broadcasting AIS, the spatial patterns of presence and intensity of fishing activity, and an analysis by gear type. For these data, the Atlas includes detailed methods, case studies, and comparisons with outside data. These comparisons, explanatory text, and caveats are presented with the goal of helping member countries understand how this new dataset can be applied. To ensure the accuracy of the conclusions, over 50 fishery experts from around the world reviewed and assessed the maps, charts, and supporting text produced by the authors and editorial team.
