No results found.The Interregional Project for the Development of Fisheries in the Western Central Atlantic (WECAF), which was initiated in March 1975, entered its second phase on 1 January 1977. Its objectives are to assist in ensuring the full rational utilization of the fishery resources in the Western Central Atlantic through the development of fisheries on under-exploited stocks and the promotion of appropriate management actions for stocks that are heavily exploited. Its activities are coordinated by the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) established by FAO in 1973. The Project is supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as the Executing Agency. As in the initial phase, two series of documents will be prepared during the second phase of the Project to provide information on activities and/ or studies carried out. This document is the nineteenth of the series WECAF Reports. The other series of documents is entitled WECAF Studies. -

Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.

Book (series)Technical studyAbandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear 2009Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a problem that is increasingly of concern. This report, undertaken by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), reviews the magnitude and composition of ALDFG, and while noting that information is not comprehensive and does not allow for any global estimates, suggests that gillnets and fishing traps/pots may be the most common type of ALDFG. Factor s leading to ALDFG as well as their impacts are presented. The report profiles measures already considered to stem the problem and includes a number of recommendations for future action.
