Book (series)Report of the Expert Consultation on Identifying, Assessing and Reporting on Subsidies in the Fishing Industry - Rome, 3-6 December 2002 2003The Expert Consultation on Identifying, Assessing and Reporting on Subsidies in the Fishing Industry met at FAO Headquarters for four days starting 3 December 2002. The consultation reviewed an FAO guide for identifying, assessing and reporting on subsidies and concluded that with minor modifications the guide is ready for use. It recommended that FAO support Members in undertaking studies based on the guide. The experts considered it important that available methodologies be used to assess im pacts flowing from actions taken by recipient of subsidies on environment, trade, economic growth and social conditions. The consultation concluded that FAO should promote the development and use of appropriate models for the evaluation of impacts of subsidies through actual case studies.

Book (series)Report of the Expert Consultation on Economic Incentives and Responsible Fisheries - Rome, 28 November-1 December 2000 2000The FAO Expert Consultation on Economic Incentives and Responsible Fisheries met at FAO Headquarters for four days starting 28 November 2000. The Consultation defined four sets of subsidies and recommended that these ‘Sets of Subsidies’ be referred to in future discussions and analysis of subsidies. The experts concluded that empirical knowledge of impact is very weak. This is true both in respect of impact on trade and in respect of impact on fishery resources. The Consultation identified pr iorities for further research about the impacts of subsidies. In respect of impact on fishery resources priority for future study was given for the following categories: ‘capital expansion’, ‘tax waivers and deferrals’, and ‘price support'. With respect to impact on trade, the experts assigned priorities to future study of actions that ‘reduce the relative price of inputs’, ‘reduce fishing effort’ and to ‘management and regulatory actions’. The experts also discussed the methods that would b e best suited to carry out these studies.

No results found.An Expert Consultation on Interactions between Sea Turtles and Fisheries within an Ecosystem Context was convened by FAO and held in Rome, Italy, from 9 to 12 March 2004. The meeting was attended by 11 experts from seven countries, covering expertise related to sea turtle biology and conservation, fishing gear technology, fisheries management and socio-economics. The Expert Consultation was organized to provide technical input to the Technical Consultation to take place in Bangkok, T hailand, later in 2004, as agreed at the twenty-fifth session of the Committee on Fisheries, held in Rome, Italy, from 24 to 28 February 2003. This document includes all the contributions prepared by the participating experts as background information to the Expert Consultation. The first four papers provide an overview of available information on biology, distribution and main sources of natural and man-induced sea turtle mortality for the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively. Gear technology developments to reduce impacts on sea turtles are reviewed in papers 5 to 7. Special emphasis is given to the Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) and mitigation measures in pelagic longline fishing. Management experiences in reducing sea turtle bycatch in coastal fisheries, including implementation of technology standards and area/time closures, are covered by paper 8. Examples of conservation efforts aimed at preserving nesting beach hab itats and at preventing direct take of sea turtles and their eggs are presented for two locations in Indonesia (paper 9). The examples show the importance of community empowerment in the implementation of conservation measures. Finally, paper 10 describes an important case study from the State of Orissa (India).
