No results found.The FAO Workshop on the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries and Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in the Mediterranean took place from 18 to 20 July 2016 at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. The workshop was organized in close collaboration with the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). The meeting addressed issues relating to the definition and management of deep-sea fisheries and vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in the Mediterranean, within the framework of the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas (FAO, adopted in 2008; FAO Deep-sea Fisheries Guidelines). The workshop characterized deep-sea fisheries in the Mediterranean, reviewed the current GFCM management measures specific to deep-sea fisheries and biodiversity protection (i.e. the establishment of fisheries restricted areas), and addressed specific issues related to VMEs (such as the use of VME indicator species lists and encounter protocols). The aim of the worksho p was to provide inputs to ongoing discussions within GFCM about required management measures to sustainably harvest deep-sea fish stocks and protect fragile habitats. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the FAO Workshop on the Global Database for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, Rome, 7-9 May 2014 2014

No results found.This is the “Report of the FAO Workshop on the Global DataBase for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems”, which was held at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 7 to 9 May 2014. The workshop was organized in response to the need for implementation and development of a global database for vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs), following an invitation from United Nations General Assembly and a recommendation from FAO’s Committee on Fisheries. The FAO Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems DataBase (VME DataBase) was developed through a consultative process with the first meeting on the VME database being held in Rome, Italy, in December 2011, which developed the framework for its development. The main objectives of this most recent workshop were to review the functionality of the Beta 1 version and submitted information, and to develop a plan with the regional bodies that have management responsibilities for deep-sea species to finalize and release the VME DataBase including the identification of further n eeds and plans for future developments. Preparation for the workshop involved prior collaboration with regional fisheries bodies on the DataBase. Comments were received through D-Groups and a circulated questionnaire. The workshop was attended by representatives of the regional bodies with the competence to manage deep-seas fisheries and independent experts present in their personal capacity. The workshop was divided into five sessions: 1: Introduction to VME DataBase and possible future “portal ”; 2: Reviews and detailed discussions; 3: Regional input, approval and information; 4: Conclusions and list of actions; and 5: Policies and future priorities. Main recommendations were agreed upon that pave the way for the further development of the VME DataBase. In particular, it was agreed to release the VME DataBase by mid-September 2014 with essential modifications requested during the workshop implemented, and content validated by the partner data providers concerned. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the FAO Workshop on Impacts of Marine Protected Areas on Fisheries Yield, Fishing Communities and Ecosystems, Rome, Italy, 16-18 June 2015 2016

No results found.The workshop, which was organised by FAO in was organised in close collaboration with the University of Washington and the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), took place in FAO, Rome, on 16-18 June 2015. In addition to FAO staff and consultants, 26 researchers and MPA practitioners from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin and North America, and South Asia participated in a mix of plenary presentations, working-group discussions and feedback with plenary-based syntheses and future dire ctions. This report is the output of this workshop which was convened to bring together experts from different disciplines and parts of the world for an initial discussion that would lay the foundation for one or more future working groups that would examine how MPAs affect fisheries and fish and fishing communities, and provide guidance on how to optimise biodiversity, fisheries and livelihoods benefits. The workshop agreed on some tentative elements that could form the basis for further globa l and regional analyses including fisheries, environmental, social, economic and governance dimensions. The workshop outcomes provide a basis for further collaboration through multidisciplinary including experts from around the world.

努力实现蓝色转型
20222022年版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的发布适逢联合国实现全球目标行动十年、联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年和联合国生态系统恢复十年的启动。本报告介绍了如何通过蓝色转型整合和支持这些活动及其他具有同等重要性的联合国活动，如2022国际手工渔业和水产养殖年。蓝色转型是新版联合国粮农组织《2022–2031年战略框架》的一个重点领域，旨在加快实现《2030年可持续发展议程》在粮食和农业领域的目标。蓝色转型的概念产生于2021年2月召开的粮农组织渔业委员会（渔委）第三十四届会议，特别是经粮农组织所有成员商定和批准的《可持续渔业和水产养殖宣言》。该《宣言》呼吁支持“21世纪渔业和水产养殖不断变化的积极愿景，使该部门对消除贫困、饥饿和营养不良的贡献得到充分认可”。在此背景下，此版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的第1部分回顾了全世界渔业和水产养殖的状况，而第2部分和第3部分则专门讨论蓝色转型及其关于水产养殖的集约化和扩大、改进渔业管理、创新渔业和水产养殖价值链的支柱。蓝色转型强调需要在未来几年启动或加快前瞻性的果敢行动，以实现《宣言》的目标并支持《2030年可持续发展议程》。第4部分涉及当前影响较大的新问题（新冠疫情、气候变化和性别平等），这些问题要求充分考虑转型步骤和预备措施，以确保可持续、高效和公平的渔业和水产养殖。 -
