ProjectLake Tanganyika Regional Fisheries Programme (TREFIP) - Environment Impact Assessment Report 2000
Also available in:
No results found.i) The Tanganyika Regional Fisheries Programme (TREFIP) was prepared in mid- 2000 by a joint African Development Bank (AfDB) and Food and Agriculture Organization feasibility study mission ii) As it was anticipated that the Programme could have both positive and negative environmental consequences, AfDB and FAO mission planners stipulated that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) be carried out immediately after the Feasibility Study Mission had submitted its report. iii) The p resent report was drafted in accordance with AfDB Environmental Assessment Guidelines, on behalf of the AfDB and the four Lake Tanganyika littoral States of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tanzania, and Zambia. Responsibility for its preparation was assigned to the Fisheries Policy and Planning Service (FIPP) of FAO and the University of Kuopio (the Scientific Coordination Entity for the Lake Tanganyika Research Project). -
Book (stand-alone)IUU Fishing on Lake Tanganyika 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This report has been compiled at the request of the IOC IRFS Programme (EDF 10) for an assessment of the current status of illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing and trade on Lake Tanganyika, and the development of interventions that can be used to assist in improving monitoring, control and surveillance operations on the lake. Lake Tanganyika represents the second largest lake in Africa, and is shared by the countries of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Zambia. The lake covers a surface area of 32,600 km2. In terms of jurisdiction, the DRC has control of 45% of the surface area, Tanzania 41% of the area, with Burundi and Zambia having control of 8% and 6% respectively. In terms of management structures, while the riparian countries are responsible for the management of their waters, the Convention on the Sustainable Management of Lake Tanganyika provides for the Lake Tanganyika Authority (LTA) to act as the overarching management body for the lake sys tem. -
ProjectLake Tanganyika Framework Fisheries Management Plan 1999
Also available in:
1. Lake Tanganyika (map, Figure 1) hosts one of the largest inland fisheries in Africa, second only to Lake Victoria in volume of production (FAO 1995a). It therefore represents a significant source of food and livelihood for millions of people dwelling within and around its basin. The lake and its environs support a wide array of subsistence and commercial activity as well as a remarkable assemblage of tropical flora and fauna, including highly diverse populations of endemic fish, all within a setting of striking scenic appeal. The conservation value of the lake is thus also of enormous importance (Beadle 1981; Coulter 1991; Hanek 1994; Hanek and Craig 1996; Quan 1996). 2. Amidst growing concerns over the environmental status, endangered biodiversity, and possible over-fishing of this unique lake, efforts have been mounted since 1992 through the FAO-executed Lake Tanganyika Research (LTR) Project (GCP/RAF/271/FIN), to investigate Tanganyika’s biological productio n and fisheries potential, and to devise modalities for the optimal management, on a regional scale, of its fisheries resources to serve present and future human welfare and biological conservation needs (FAO 1992).....
