Synopsis (short abstract) The extension of EEZ of national jurisdiction in marine waters consequent on the developments of the Law of the Sea has required many countries to examine the implications of such developments for their fisheries and the need to make adjustments. FAO has been providing assistance to countries at their request to examine these situations and to prepare programmes of development. In response to such a request, the FAO/UNDP Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme mounted a mission to Somalia. This report embodies the findings of this mission and its recommendations for future action. In addition to this work, the mission was also requested to suggest emergency measures that would be necessary to cope with the situation that had arisen with the termination of Soviet technical assistance. The report contains recommendations of a short-term nature to meet this situation.

Implications 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.

Legal and institutional aspects of the management of fisheries in the Bangladesh exclusive economic zone 1979

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”.
