Synopsis (short abstract) The brochure and the video would feature the new ship with a focus on the new technology and how the ship is equipped to meet the data needs for the emerging challenges in ocean research and management of fisheries in the face of pollution, biodiversity loss and climate variability and change. It will look at the following: The FAO EAF-Nansen project as a good example of long-term support to developing countries, in line with the FAO mandate to reduce poverty and improve food security; The excel lent long-term partnership between FAO and a donor in support of FAO member countries; The R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen as a key tool and a meaningful and effective form of aid; Key achievements, lessons learnt and international collaboration and partnerships in support of knowledge acquisition on the oceans Norway’s commitment to continue the support with a new vessel and funding for a new programme; The scope of the new Nansen programme; Emphasis on partnerships with countries and with regional and international institutions that have complementary programmes on the oceans.

    The EAF-Nansen Programme Science Plan
    Supporting the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) management considering climate and pollution impacts (2017-2021)
    2020
    Also available in:
    This document describes the overall principles and main thematic areas of the EAF-Nansen Programme’s Science Plan, including the use of the research vessel (R/V) Dr Fridtjof Nansen as a key tool for fieldwork. Three main research areas are identified, dealing with impacts of fishing, oil/gas activities and presence of contaminants, and climate variability and change on marine resources and ecosystems. These research areas are then subdivided into eleven main themes. Data used for the research activities are collected through the surveys with the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen, including the data collected during the previous phases of the Nansen Programme.

    Status of Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries in 1995
    Proceeding of the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries Shimizu, Japan 23 to 31 January 1995

    This publication includes forty papers and two abstracts of papers presented at the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Pacific Tuna Fisheries held in Shimizu, Japan, from 23 to 31 January 1995. The topics of the papers include: · reviews of tuna fisheries interactions and their research including methods for their study, · new methods for studying tuna fisheries interactions and examination of their applicability, · case studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · analyses of tuna fisheri es involved in interactions and their management, and · an overview of FAO’s project that co-organized and co-sponsored the Consultation. A supplement of an indexed bibliography of papers on tuna and billfish tagging, which was printed separately, is also included. The objectives of the Consultation were to: · review and integrate the outcome of the studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · summarize the extent of tuna fisheries interactions and unresolved research problems, and · fo rmulate guidelines for research on tuna fisheries interactions. The understanding of tuna fisheries interactions was enhanced significantly by recent studies. However, the Consultation noted that the number of quantified interactions is still small due primarily to difficulties associated with evaluating such interactions. The papers providing supporting information for the conclusions of the Consultation are presented in this publication. Interactions were found to vary in significance depend ing on the biological characteristics of the species involved, the sizes of fish caught, the local and stock-wide rates of exploitation, and the distance among fisheries. In many of the studies presented, the inadequacy of fisheries data was stressed. In addition, the lack of understanding of movements of the fish being studied was noted in several papers. General qualitative guidelines presented in several discussion papers stressed that specifically-designed studies be undertaken to adequately quantify interactions. Well-designed tagging experiments were thought to provide the most reliable information about interactions. Guidelines for the collection of data, biological and ecosystem research, modelling, and alternative methodologies for studying tuna fisheries interactions are also included.

    This is the report of a regional workshop organised under the EAF-Nansen Programme “Supporting the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management considering climate and pollution impacts”. The workshop took place at the premises of the National Fisheries Research Institute (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique - INRH) in Casablanca, Morocco from 5 to 7 May 2017. The main objectives of the workshop were to determine regional priorities within the research themes of the EAF-Nansen Programme science plan, identify specific research that could be carried out collaboratively and to review objectives of the 2017 R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen survey in Northwest Africa. Ce document est le rapport d'un atelier régional organisé dans le cadre du Programme EAF-Nansen «Appuyer l'application de l'approche écosystémique de la gestion des pêches en tenant compte des impacts du climat et de la pollution». L'atelier s'est déroulé à l'Institut national de recherche halieutique (INRH) à Casablanca, au Maroc, du 5 au 7 mai 2017. Les principaux objectifs de l'atelier étaient de déterminer les priorités régionales au niveau des thèmes de recherche du plan scientifique du Programme EAF-Nansen, d’identifier les travaux de recherche spécifiques qui pourraient être menés en collaboration et d’examiner les objectifs de la campagne 2017 du N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen en Afrique du Nord-Ouest.
