DocumentLegal and institutional aspects of the management of fisheries in the Bangladesh exclusive economic zone 1979
Also available in:
No results found.In 1974 the Government of Bangladesh declared a 200-mile EEZ, although no action was taken by the fisheries authorities at the time to set down detailed legal controls over the management of fisheries in that zone. In August 1978, however, the Bangladesh Gov. made initial enquiries regarding the possibility of legal assistance being provided by FAO in adapting its laws to cover foreign fishing operations in its EEZ. Because Bangladesh had earlier in 1978 signed a joint venture agreement with Tha iland there was expressed an urgent need for assistance of this king. As a result, an initial visit by a FAO headquarters staff member to Bangladesh was arranged for the period 12-15 Sept. 1978, to assess the type and scope of assistance required. Several estimates of the fishery resources in the Bay of Bengal have been made. From these surveys it was possible to identify three major fishing grounds which are known as “South patches”, “Middle ground” and “Swatch of no ground”. -

No results found.The Government of Sri Lanka extended its jurisdiction over fisheries to 200 miles in 1977 and requested assistance from the Indian Ocean Programme in revising its fisheries legislation to meet the needs of the new zone. A first report in 1978, “Legal and institutional aspects of fisheries management in Sri Lanka with particular reference to the control of foreign fishing in the EEZ” (Tech. Rep. 22) recommended new draft legislation for the control of foreign fishing operations. The present repor t reviews existing agreements, laws and institutions affecting the management and development of fisheries in Sri Lanka and recommends the adoption of new legislation, including both domestic and foreign fishing operations. Certain principles are recommended for inclusion in the new legislation and suggested drafts of legislation and implementing regulations are appended. Finally the report points out the need for consultation with the fishermen on the new legislation and includes a briefing not e for the carrying out of such consultation. The assistance was financed in part by the Indian Ocean Programme and in part by the FAO/Norway Cooperative Programme.
