Book (series)Guidelines for developing an at-sea fishery observer programme 2003
Also available in:
No results found.These Guidelines are intended to help those involved in managing fisheries to understand the range of objectives that an observer programme can meet and how these contribute towards the management of a fishery. The importance of scientific, compliance and information outputs are considered in relation to the requirements for developing and implementing management plans. The Guidelines promote the use of observers as agents capable of contributing to many monitoring, sampling and compliance act ivities required in modern integrated fisheries management. The different inputs, requirements and outputs of at-sea fishery observer programmes are presented focusing on what they are, how they relate to the objectives of a programme and different options on how to develop them. The Guidelines conclude with a design and maintenance strategy for an observer programme. -
Book (stand-alone)Small Offshore Fishing Boats in Sri Lanka - BOBP/REP/61 1993
Also available in:
No results found.The Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) was invited in the early Eighties by the Shri Lankan Ministry of Fisheries to evaluate the offshore fisheries and the fishing craft being used in it. The evaluation was done by a consultant, O Gulbrandsen, Naval Architect. Subsequent to this evaluation, BOBP helped to develop and introduce two small multiday offshore fishing boats, the SRL-34 and the SRL-15. When Shri Lankan fishermen began fishing further offshore, more and more boats began to disappear a t sea. The BOBP was requested to provide assistance for studying the reasons for the disappearances and to help in making recommendations for the development of search-and-rescue facilities for the island’s fishermen. A consultant (U Hallberg) studied the facilities available and prepared a report which was submitted to the Ministry of Fisheries. Similarly, another consultant (E Dahle) studied the safety aspects of boat construction and prepared a draft of regulations for consideration by the Mi nistry. This report summarizes BOBP’s assistance provided in offshore fishing boat development and related safety-at-sea aspects. The work started under the SIDA funded project “Development of Small-scale Fisheries” GCP/RAS/040/SWE and was concluded under “Small-scale Fisherfolk Communities” GCP/RAS/l18/MUL funded jointly by DANIDA and SIDA. -
Book (series)Report of the FAO/SPC Regional Expert Consultation on Sea Safety in Small Fishing Vessels, Suva, Fiji, 9-13 February 2004 2004
Also available in:
No results found.In early 2003 FAO undertook a survey on fisheries-related sea safety in the Pacific Islands region. The objective of that work was to consolidate the experience gained by selected countries in safety at sea with a view to improving ongoing and future activities in the region. A major conclusion of the survey was that the majority of loss of life in the Pacific Islands region is associated with small fishing boats which have received the least attention in terms of legislation, construction stan dards, enforcement strategies, regional discussions, training on proper use, and other schemes to improve safety. The report of the survey indicated that many of these issues have facets that involve law, naval architecture, search/rescue, community awareness, maritime administration, fisheries and other fields. FAO and SPC agreed that a meeting attended by motivated people having expertise in these disciplines could have a very positive effect on regional and national sea safety programmes. T he FAO/SPC Regional Expert Consultation on Sea Safety in Small Fishing Vessels held in Suva, Fiji, form 9 to 13 February 2004, was intended to produce this outcome.
