No results found.The 2nd meeting of the Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, was held in Barbados in the period 19 - 21 September 2017. Thirty-five fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) officers, fisheries managers and other experts from 16 WECAFC members participated in this meeting. At the meeting, the MCS officers were updated on the International Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (IPOAIUU), the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels, and specific measures needed in the Caribbean region to effectively reduce IUU fishing. This technical meeting also discussed and agreed on various essential fisheries management measures, such as on fishing vessel marking and identification, the establishment of a regional fishing vessel record and regional IUU vessel lists. These measures will, once adopted by WECAFC allow the fisheries inspectors, coast guard, navy and port officials to easily identify fishing vessels and see if the vessels have the necessary authorizations to fish.
Este es el informe de la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal No, Declarada y no Reglamentada, realizado en Barbados, el 19, 20 y 21 de septiembre de 2017. La reunión sirvió como la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Documentada, y No Reglamentada de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro Occidental (COPACO), el Mecanismo Regional de Pesca del Caribe (CRFM), la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPESCA). Expertos de 16 países de la COPACO, e igualmente, expertos internacionales participaron de TM Tracking. Personal y personas de apoyo de la FAO también contribuyeron a la reunión. La participación en la reunión estuvo limitada por los dos huracanes de categoría 5, Irma y María, que afectaron varios países del Caribe, e igualmente a la Florida en las semanas anteriores a la reunión, e hizo que viajar a la reunión desde algunas de las islas, fuera imposible. El Grupo de Trabajo les deseó a los países que no pudieron asistir, una recuperación exitosa de la devastación que los afectó. Esta reunión fue posible por el generoso apoyo financiero recibido de parte de la DG Mare de la Unión Europea. Apoyo adicional fue recibido del Fondo del Proyecto GCP/SLC/001/WBK – Picudos del Caribe, coordinado por el Banco Mundial, financiado por el GEF, e implementado por la FAO y la COPACO. El Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación, Pesca, y Manejo de Recursos Acuáticos del Gobierno de Barbados fue también co-anfitrión de esta reunión.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Insecurity in the World (SOFI) 2015
Meeting the 2015 international hunger targets: taking stock of uneven progress
2015This year´s annual State of Food Insecurity in the World report takes stock of progress made towards achieving the internationally established Millennium Development Goal (MDG1) and World Food Summit hunger targets and reflects on what needs to be done, as we transition to the new post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda. The report reviews progress made since 1990 for every country and region as well as for the world as a whole. Progress towards the MDG 1 target, however, is assessed not only by measuring undernourishment, or hunger, but also by a second indicator – the prevalence of underweight children under five years of age. Progress for the two indicators across regions and over time, is compared, providing insights into the complexity of food security. Overall progress notwithstanding, much work remains to be done to eradicate hunger and achieve food security across all its dimensions. The 2015 report not only estimates the progress already achieved, but also identifies r emaining problems, and provides guidance on which policies should be emphasized in the future. Key factors that have determined success to date towards food security and nutrition goals are identified. The list of factors – economic growth, agricultural productivity growth, markets (including international trade) and social protection – is by no means exhaustive. The report also shows how protracted crises, due to conflict or natural disasters, have deleterious effects on progress in hunger redu ction. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
