DocumentGood governance of marine fisheries: concepts and intervention framework of the SmartFish Programme 2014
Also available in:
Basically, governance refers to the way of ‘governing’. Likewise, good governance means to govern well, although “to govern well” may call on subjective notions and socio-cultural considerations. However, unanimity tends to emerge at the international level which associates good governance to the idea of a State using modes of regulation and steering of public policies that are more efficient and closer to public interests. This notion of a «better State» in the exercise of power (beyond the opp osition between political views such as more vs. less State intervention) refers to processes that are guided by a number of virtuous principles such as access to information, dialogue with users, promotion of public-private partnerships for the production of certain services, the fight against corruption or the effective management of public resources (efficiency of public action). -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Report of the KMI/APRACA/FAO Regional Workshop on the Effects of Globalization and Deregulation on Marine Capture Fisheries in Asia and the Pacific. Pusan, Republic of Korea, 11–15 October 1999. 1999

No results found.The Regional Workshop on the Effects of Globalization and Deregulation on Marine Capture Fisheries in Asia and the Pacific was hosted by the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) and organized by the Fishery Industries Division of FAO in cooperation with the Asia Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (APRACA). The findings and recommendations of the Workshop suggest that many countries in Asia and the Pacific benefited and expect to continue to benefit from globalization and deregulation. These benefits include improved quality and better access of their fishery products to markets in other countries within and outside of Asia and the Pacific, increased export earnings, better exchange of technology, increased productivity and efficiency and better supply of fishery products for local populations through liberalization of imports of fishery products. Negative effects of globalization and deregulation identified in the Workshop included increased competition for the small-scale do mestic fisheries sector mainly through import of low priced fish products. It was felt that special measures are needed to protect and strengthen this sector. These included technical assistance, training and investment support as well as possibly fiscal measures and economic incentives. -

The findings were summarized in national reports. The national reports include : general description of the shrimp fishery (resources, fishing methods and vessel, fishing practice, effort data, shrimp catches and by-catches (including species and size composition and its utilization); regulations and management measures; research activities; impact of present exploitation and fishing practices on the shrimp and fish resources and on the bottom habitat; perception of the present situation by industry, the authorities and environmental organizations; social implications of a djusting fishing to more environmentally friendly practices; priority issues requiring actions to meet acceptable standards of environmentally friendly shrimp exploitation and, finally, a proposal for a relevant National Plan of Action.
