No results found.This document contains the report of the Expert Consultation on the Use of Monitoring Systems and Satellites for Fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance, that was held at FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy, from 24 to 26 October 2006. The Expert Consultation was convened by the Director-General of FAO to review and assess technical, legal and institutional aspects concerning the use of vessel monitoring systems (VMS) and satellites in monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) with the goal of facilitating the wider use of this type of technology and promoting and strengthening international cooperation among States for its use. The Expert Consultation furthered collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), as called for in paragraph 90 of the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated [IUU] Fishing. The Experts undertook an inventory and assessment of the status of VMS and satellites in terms of the t echnology and equipment employed and legal and institutional considerations. This work was complemented by a review of options to enhance the use of VMS and satellites in MCS by addressing the enhanced use of technology and strengthening the development and implementation of national legislation and international instruments to foster enhanced international cooperation for the wider use of VMS technology. The Consultation also considered issues relating to the special requirements of developing countries, the use of VMS in support of port State measures, a comprehensive record of fishing vessel and the role of the International MCS Network. The Consultation did not recommend a binding international VMS agreement although additional mechanisms such as an international plan of action, declaration or strategy to guide and facilitate global implementation of VMS might be considered. The Consultation also made recommendations, inter alia, concerning the use of VMS as a MCS tool to combat IU U fishing, the further development and implementation of VMS and the need for MCS to be enhanced particularly with respect to closer cooperation among regional fishery management organizations. The Consultation was funded by the FAO Regular Programme and by the FAO FishCode Programme through the FishCode Trust (MTF/GLO/125/MUL) and the FishCode SIDS Project (GCP/INT/823/JPN), “Responsible Fisheries for Small Island Developing States”. -

An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products
2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.
