DocumentImplications of the extended zones of maritime jurisdiction for the fishing industry of Thailand 1978
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Thailand requested FAO to mount a multidisciplinary mission for the purpose of reviewing the implications of recent developments in the Regime of the Sea for the fisheries of Thailand. The mission visited Thailand from 1 to 16 December 1977 and the report contains the mission’s findings and recommendations. Thailand’s major problem is the fact that in view of the proclamation of EEZ by its neighboring countries the fishing grounds exploited so far by the national fishermen are becoming inaccessible to them. The report reviews the approximate losses to the Thai fisheries in terms of decreased catch and recommends measures to be taken to control Thailand’s fishing effort as well as actions and projects aimed at increasing fish production to counter-balance the already visible decline of fish landings from marine waters. -

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”.
