Synopsis (short abstract) This publication catalogues and summarizes the print, audio-visual and electronic literature generated by the Third Phase (1994-2000) of the Bay of Bengal Programme(BOBP). The print literature includes technical publications in the form of reports, mimeos and manuals, 18 issues of the quarterly pictorial newsletter Bay of Bengal News, as well as comic books, posters and calendars. As for audiovisual media, the BOBP produced a few video films during the Third Phase. Electronic literature refe rs to a significant work, a pair of Cb-ROMs that archiveall the publications of BOBP (during all three phases from 1979 to 2000, not just the Third Phase); the CD-ROMS are eagerly awaited by fisheries officials, scientists and libraries from far and near. buring the fisheries management-oriented Third Phase, the BOBP continued its pro-active role in generating and disseminating information. Our publications have beensent to a large number of fisheries officials and scientists as well as instit utions within and outside the region. We hope these materials helped in a small way to raise awareness and stimulate action concerning fisheries management, not only in the Bay of Bengal region but elsewhere too. The BOBP enters upon 2001 seeking to establish an Inter-Government Organization (IGO) that will continue to provide technical, management and information services for fisheries development and management in the Bay of Bengal region.

    Food and Nutrition Status of Small-Scale Fisherfolk in India’s East Coast States - A Desk Review and Resource Investigation – BOBP/INF/09 1986
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This paper is an outcome of a desk review and resource investigation on the nutrition status of fisher-folk in India’s east coast states. It was conducted over a three-month period from February 1985. It documents data from existing surveys and studies, and describes nutrition programmes and institutions in these states. The desk review was sponsored by the Norway-funded project “Nutrition and fisher-folk in the Bay of Bengal region” (GCP/INT/417/NOR), which is being executed in cooperation wi th the smallscale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme. The nutrition project is in pursuance of the resolution adopted by the 1994 World Fisheries Conference, Rome, to “promote the role of fisheries in alleviating malnutrition”. The project attempts to improve the nutritional status of fisherfolk of the region and thereby play a part in improving their living conditions. The desk review/resource investigation described in this paper is a preparatory activity of the project. It may also help serve as a source of information to planners, researchers and officials concerned with nutrition activities, particularly for fisher-folk. As a follow-up to the desk review/resource investigation, nutrition surveys of fisherfolk have been conducted in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Reports of pilot surveys in two fishing villages of each state are under preparation. A workshop to focus attention on the nutrition problems of fisherfolk and to identify specific activities was held in March 1996.
