No results found.The Technical Consultation on Policies for Sustainable Shrimp Culture produced a consensus that sustainable shrimp culture is practised and is a desirable and achievable goal which should be pursued. There is ample reason for considering shrimp culture, when practiced in a sustainable fashion, as an acceptable means of achieving such varied national goals as food production, employment and generation of foreign exchange. Achievement of sustainable shrimp culture is dependent on effective governm ent policy and regulatory actions, as well as on the co-operation of industry in utilizing sound technology in its planning, development and operations. Noting that appropriate government responsibilities regarding aquaculture development are outlined in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), adopted by the FAO Conference in 1995, the Consultation recommended a range of desirable principles to be followed in the establishment of legal, institutional and consultative frameworks and government policies for sustainable shrimp culture. Moreover, it noted that the CCRF provided an appropriate framework for the development of additional codes or guidelines applicable to shrimp culture. The Consultation recommended a number of specific areas for future research including on economic incentives and on carrying capacity of coastal ecosystems for shrimp culture. Further, it recommended that FAO convene expert meetings to elaborate best practices for shrimp culture, desirable ele ments of the legal and regulatory frameworks for coastal aquaculture and the criteria and indicators for monitoring sustainability of shrimp culture. Regarding the latter, the Consultation recommended that FAO specifically request governments of FAO member countries engaged in shrimp culture to report on progress in implementing the CCRF in relation to shrimp culture activities to the FAO Committee on Fisheries at its next and subsequent sessions. -
