    A regional workshop on “The application of AquaGRIS: the FAO global information system, to build national registries of aquatic genetic resources” is planned to take place from 6-7 June 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop, co-organized by FAO and SEAFDEC, aims to: 1) enhance the awareness on the importance of having a good information baseline on the aquaculture species and related farmed types and wild stocks in order for a country/region to make information-based decisions on AqGR management and the sustainable development of the aquaculture sector; 2) enhance participants’ understanding of AquaGRIS and their capacity to create national registries through it; and 3) develop a strategy and plan for the creation and long-term maintenance of AqGR registries in the region and start, after the workshop, the process of creating national registries in a group of countries that will be selected during the workshop.

    A workshop on “Establishing a Global Registry for Seaweed Genetic Resources through AquaGRIS” is planned to be held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on 5 May 2025. The workshop will be co-organized by FAO in collaboration with the Global Seaweed Coalition (GSC). The workshop aims to:- discuss the application of farmed types definition and criteria to seaweed species;- identify and agree on possible new information fields (e.g. link to seaweed gene banks) that should be added to the AquaGRIS data collection user-interface to ensure that it is adapted to collect comprehensive data on the status of management of seaweed genetic resources and meet sector requirements;- train participants on using AquaGRIS, with the scope of initiating data collection at global level for a list of previously identified commercial species and countries.

    This report summarizes the proceedings and outcomes of the “Regional Workshop for Asia and the Pacific on the Development of a Global Information System for Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (incorporating a review of strategic priorities for a Global Plan of Action)” held from 8 to 12 June 2020. The final wrap-up session was held on 22 June 2020. This workshop, supported financially by the Government of Germany, was the second in a series of regional workshops held to generate feedback on the Registry of Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (Registry) being developed by FAO in response to the findings of the first report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoW-AqGR) prepared under the guidance of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission) and launched by FAO in 2019. As requested by the Commission, the workshop also sought feedback on an outline of a Global Plan of Action for Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (GPA. The workshop was originally planned to be held face to face in early 2020 but was eventually cancelled due to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
