    Terminal evaluation of the project "Governance Strengthening for the Management and Protection of Coastal & Marine Biodiversity in key ecological areas and the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries"
    Project code: GCP/ARG/025/GFF, GEF ID: 5112

    The project "Governance Strengthening for the Management and Protection of Coastal & Marine Biodiversity in key ecological areas and the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries” in Argentina, implemented between May 2017 and March 2024, focused on improving the management and protection of marine biodiversity and promoting the ecosystem approach to fishing. The final evaluation, carried out with the participation of various actors, highlighted the high relevance and coherence of the project, as well as the institutional strengthening and development of technical capacities. The creation of synergies, instances of dialogue and high-quality lasting results also stands out. It is recommended to replicate this successful model in future projects in the region, ensuring institutional sustainability and the inclusion of transversal perspectives such as gender from the project design. It is recommended to adjust the governance and internal communication mechanisms, and better disseminate the products produced.

    The project focused on the following global environmental objectives: i) strengthen management and protection capcitites for marine biodiversity in areas of ecological importance by creating new marine protected areas and applying the ecosystem approach to fisheries; and ii) expand knolwedge about the biological, ecological, social and economic aspects of marine ecosystems and their biodiversity to manage the protection of key aread for biodiversity, and minimize the negative impacts of fishing by implementing the ecosystm approach to fisheries.

    Blue and green development in food and urban sectors of Cuba 2024
    Also available in:

    The main objective of the project is to integrate biodiversity in development and financial policies and mechanisms in food and urban planning - through ES valuation, NCA and NbS application. In addition, the project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of NbS at landscape and seascape levels, facilitate sustainable investments, and improve access to information and innovative knowledge on NbS. The lack of application of these aspects on local policies has generated significant environmental deterioration processes that affect ecosystems of global importance, which is exacerbated by the government's strategy of productive increases for the year 2030.

    The Living Marine Resources of the Eastern Central Atlantic. Volume 2: Bivalves, gastropods, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, and chimaeras 2016
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This multivolume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Eastern Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO fishing area 34 and part of 47. The marine resource groups included are bivalves, gastropods, chitons, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, bony fishes and sea turtles. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological, and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Eastern Central Atlantic. Within the field guide, the sections on the re source groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, order, and family. Each resource group is introduced by general re marks on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements, and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an account summarizing family diagnostic characters, bi o logical and fisheries in formation, notes on similar families occur ring in the area, a key to species, a check list of species, and a short list of relevant literature. Families that are less important to fisheries include an abbreviated family ac count and no de tailed species in formation. Species in the important families are treated in detail (arranged alphabetically by genus and species) and include the species name, frequent synonyms and names of similar speci es, an illustration, FAO common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries in formation, notes on geo graphical distribution, and a distribution map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, FAO common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map, and notes on biology, fisheries, and distribution. Each volume concludes with its own index of scientific and common names.

    地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
    Also available in:

    在很多重要文件中,传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食,但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面,地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例,研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上,这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程,与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素,还要考虑生物活性化合物,后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后,本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题:规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性,并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品,因此,附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。
