Synopsis (short abstract) Tomini Bay (Indonesia) is a semi-enclosed sea exploited by fishers from the three bordering provinces of Central Sulawesi, Gorontalo and North Sulawesi. Tomini Bay fishery resources are still generally considered to be underexploited, although annual catches have increased dramatically over the past ten years. Various institutional and technical constraints hinder the sustainable development of fisheries in the Bay, among them the absence of a fisheries management body. The FAO/Government of Indonesia Workshop on the Development of a Management Plan for Tomini Bay Fisheries, held in July 2003, provided a starting point for addressing responsible fisheries issues and laying the groundwork for a fisheries management plan.

    This document reports on the proceedings and decisions of a four-day regional workshop on the “Precautionary Approach to Fishery Management” (referred to in the text as PA2FM), held from 25 February to 28 February, 1997, in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was organized by the Directorate-General of Fisheries, Indonesia, and supported by the FAO and the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The workshop was meant to clarify and discuss the implications of PA2FM and show how such an approach to management enables sustainable development of fisheries resources in BOBP member-countries and beyond. The workshop was expected to endow participants with practical skills and knowledge on PA2FM methods. The workshop was attended by 18 representatives from member-countries of the BOBP, and seven resource persons from within and outside the region.

    The Workshop on the Harmonization of Marine Fisheries Policy within Coastal Countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) was the final activity of a project (TCP/RAF/8933) requested by SADC and financed by FAO. It was held at Uroa Beach, Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania, from 24 to 27 July 2001. The Workshop discussed the main working documents presented by the project steering committee: a comparative analysis of the fisheries legal frameworks of SADC coastal countries ; an analysis of international and intraregional trade of fisheries products; and a synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries. Three working groups were created to discuss elements dealing with trade, legal and fisheries management issues, respectively, taking into consideration the relevant articles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The three working groups evaluated the documents provided by the project steering committee and improved the list of propose d activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional levels, and general mechanisms for their implementation were proposed. On the basis of the work of these subgroups, elements for an Action Plan were identified at the regional level taking into consideration the relevant provisions of the Protocol on Fisheries to the SADC Treaty.
