Synopsis (short abstract) Coastal area management is too complex to be handled by traditional sectoral planning and management. To be effective, planning for integrated coastal area management (ICAM) must be coordinated between sectoral implementing agencies. A balanced management perspective is needed in which intersectoral relationships are fully understood, trade-offs recognized and anticipated, benefits and alternatives critically assessed, appropriate management interventions identified and implemented, and necessar y institutional and organizational arrangements worked out. This is the essence of ICAM.

    The lessons and results of the village level participatory LUP are meaningful when scaled up to broader context and interactively linked to land use plans of townships, regions, and or national level in addition to nurturing opportunities for replication. The LUP process in the pilot areas was designed to follow national policies, laws, rules, regulations, and existing guidelines developed for enhancing agricultural production, protection and conservation of ecosystem forestlands.

    This publication is intended to assist anyone involved in the development or implementation of a legal or institutional framework to promote integrated coastal management (ICM). It includes revised versions of some of the information contained in the 1994 FAO publication "Legal and Institutional Aspects of Integrated Coastal Area Management in National Legislation" and the 1998 FAO Publication "Integrated Coastal Area Management and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries", FAO Guidelines. However t he focus of this publication is on identifying and providing practical guidance on how to deal with typical issues that arise in the development, drafting and implementation of ICM legislation. In doing so it draws upon the experiences of a range of countries throughout the world which are at various stages of developing and implementing legislation to promote ICM.

    Implementing Recommendations to Strengthen and Enhance Tonga’s Special Management Area (SMA) Programme towards Better-Managed Coastal Fisheries Resources and Empowered, Food Secure Communities - TCP/TON/3603 (Phase I) and TCP/TON/3801 (Phase II) 2024

    Coastal fisheries are vital to the livelihoods and economy of Tonga. However, dwindling coastal fisheries resources have raised concerns among coastal communities highlighting the need to better manage these resources. In 2006, Tonga introduced the community-based Special Management Area (SMA) programme, which aimed to strengthen the management of these resources. A decade later, the Tonga Government requested FAO to review the SMA's effectiveness, which led to the identification of priority issues and recommendations for improvement. In collaboration with the Ministry of Fisheries (MoF), Phase I of this project was designed to address technical gaps identified during the review, streamline the SMA programme and empower food-secure communities with the goal of achieving a more cost-effective and efficient SMA programme. However, the project’s implementation encountered challenges, which halted the original plans. In response, Phase II was established to continue the implementation of the project activities, including completing the SMA manual and training MoF staff and local communities.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
