    International commercial fishing management regime safety study: synthesis of case reports 2016

    Commercial fishing is a dangerous occupation. The degree of danger is in part a function of the options of fishers’ choices about the risks they take, such as the weather they fish in, the boats they use, the rest they obtain, and the safety gear they carry. How fisheries are managed may affect the options of fishers and trade-offs as they make these choices – thus affecting the safety of the fishery. FAO contracted researchers to prepare country-specific case studies on fisheries management and safety in 16 countries. Each case study was reviewed to identify evidence supporting, or refuting, one or more of four hypotheses regarding potential effects of fisheries management policies on fishing safety. Where evidence was found for a hypothesis, the strength of the evidence was then evaluated. This publication presents the results and analyses of the case studies as well as conclusions and recommendations.

    The National Seminar on the Reduction and Management of Commercial Fishing Capacity in Thailand took place from 11 to 14 May 2004 in Cha-Am, Thailand. Participants included senior officials from the Department of Fisheries and other relevant Government departments, representatives of associations of the commercial fishing industry, leaders of small-scale coastal fishers, national and international resource persons and representatives of bilateral and multilateral agencies. The marine captur e fisheries sector is more capital intensive than is appropriate for Thailand's resource endowment, and there is an urgent need for fishing capacity reduction for improved fi sheries management and protection and conservation of fish habitats and other threatened coastal resources. Failure to achieve this will have serious consequences for the most vulnerable people in coastal communities, fish consumers and society at large.
