Book (stand-alone)Report of the EAF-Nansen Project Trainers Workshop. Rome, 16-20 February 2009 2011
Also available in:
A workshop for Trainers was organised at the FAO headquarters in Rome from 16 to 20 February 2009 under the EAF-Nansen project ¿Strengthening the Knowledge Base for and Implementing an Ecosystem Approach to Marine Fisheries in Developing Countries¿. It was attended by experts from the four operational regions of the EAF-Nansen project in Africa and one FAO EAF project in Europe. Jorge Csirke, Director of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Division, noted that the workshop i s one of the most important activities within the capacity building component of the EAF-Nansen project and that the participants are expected to be involved in national and regional activities under the EAF-Nansen project. The training covered fundamentals of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAF), ecological risk assessment methodology and the development and review of fisheries management plans. Participants were also introduced to workshop facilitation. Practical ex ercises were undertaken in working groups. It was noted that although there are several opportunities for the management of fisheries in Africa in line with the ecosystem approach, the major challenges include getting political and management buy-in, recognising that EAF is not just a scientific exercise and the lack of institutional integration and adequate resources for fisheries management. The Participants noted that the training had prepared them for the task expected of them but admitted that the practice looked a bit scary and that it would be better to organise another meeting where real issues are presented and the problems tackled. The aspects of the course on how to interact with stakeholders was singled out as extremely good so was the ecological risk assessment methodology although it was thought that a better appreciation of the latter would require a dedicated extended course. -
Book (stand-alone)Handbook of the EAF-Nansen Project Training Course on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The EAF-Nansen Project has designed a university-level training course on the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) that it has already run in partnership with a number of universities in Africa. PowerPoint resources were developed specifically for the EAF course including standard modules and lecture notes. This handbook has been conceived to complement the PowerPoint presentations and to bring in one place the examples given in the course, key reference materials, suggested readings, exercise s and case studies to support the trainers and trainees. The handbook has eight course units and is expected to be run over a period of three to four weeks. Units 1 to 4 provide a general introduction to global fisheries, fisheries management and principles of the ecosystem approach to fisheries. Units 5 to 8 are on the main steps of the EAF planning process that results in the formulation and implementation of a fisheries management plan. Each unit is covered in a separate chapter that opens wi th the objectives and what the student is expected to know at the end of the unit. -
