Book (series)Technical studyGlobal trends in status and management of assessed stocks: achieving sustainable fisheries through effective management 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This report provides an overview of the biological status of assessed stocks around the world and relates measures of stock status to the strength of fisheries management. Stock assessment outputs, consisting primarily of time series of abundance and fishing pressure relative to target reference points, were compiled for 548 marine fish and invertebrate stocks in the RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database. Data summary methods included: global and regional mean trends of abundance and fishing pressure relative to target reference points; bivariate plots of relative abundance and fishing pressure; estimates of potential equilibrium yield foregone at current fishing pressure; and proportions of stocks in different biomass status categories. These measures of stock status were summarized at the global level as well as separated by 16 FAO Major Fishing Areas and ocean basin regions for comparison. -

Book (series)FlagshipStatus and trends reporting in fisheries: A review of progress and approaches to reporting the state of world fisheries 2001
Also available in:
No results found.This circular reviews recent progress and approaches made by FAO and other organizations to reporting on the status and trends of world fisheries. It includes a brief introduction on events that stimulated the creation of the ACFR Working Party on Status and Trends of Fisheries that resulted in this review, including the decision to prepare a draft International Plan of Action on the issue. Chapter 2 addresses the general issues that require attention as identified in the Code of Conduct for Re sponsible Fisheries, including the changing requirements resulting from international instruments and national laws, which are direct responses to changing perspectives on the information requirements to address sustainability, and the rising demand from all stakeholders for transparency and objectivity. The Circular then briefly reviews FAO’s global perspective (Chapter 3) and approaches to reporting and research by a range of global, regional and national institutions (Chapter 4). It concludes with a general discussion of approaches to meeting information standards, quality and accessibility, including issues concerning frameworks, standards, quality assurance, the conduct of working groups, and suggestions for the development of a method for improving fishery information upon which status and trends reports might be based. In the latter area it provides a conceptual and generalized framework for a user-oriented method (as part of the FIGIS programme) for registering stock assessment and stock status information. Suggested templates for this are in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 offers brief case studies on the ways fishery status and trends are reported by three institutions: the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
