    This document describes the overall principles and main thematic areas of the EAF-Nansen Programme’s Science Plan, including the use of the research vessel (R/V) Dr Fridtjof Nansen as a key tool for fieldwork. Three main research areas are identified, dealing with impacts of fishing, oil/gas activities and presence of contaminants, and climate variability and change on marine resources and ecosystems. These research areas are then subdivided into eleven main themes. Data used for the research activities are collected through the surveys with the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen, including the data collected during the previous phases of the Nansen Programme.

    The EAF-Nansen Programme is a collaboration between FAO, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) of Bergen, Norway. For over forty years, the Programme has provided an opportunity for coastal developing countries to assess and manage their fisheries sustainably. The core of the research comes from vessels owned by Norad, which carry out surveys of ocean life and biodiversity. The newest Dr Fridtjof Nansen vessel was launched in March 2017, and it is the most advanced research vessel of its kind. This is an annual summary for 2018, summarizing activities carried out during the year.

    This is the report of a regional workshop organised under the EAF-Nansen Programme “Supporting the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management considering climate and pollution impacts”. The workshop took place at the premises of the National Fisheries Research Institute (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique - INRH) in Casablanca, Morocco from 5 to 7 May 2017. The main objectives of the workshop were to determine regional priorities within the research themes of the EAF-Nansen Programme science plan, identify specific research that could be carried out collaboratively and to review objectives of the 2017 R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen survey in Northwest Africa. Ce document est le rapport d'un atelier régional organisé dans le cadre du Programme EAF-Nansen «Appuyer l'application de l'approche écosystémique de la gestion des pêches en tenant compte des impacts du climat et de la pollution». L'atelier s'est déroulé à l'Institut national de recherche halieutique (INRH) à Casablanca, au Maroc, du 5 au 7 mai 2017. Les principaux objectifs de l'atelier étaient de déterminer les priorités régionales au niveau des thèmes de recherche du plan scientifique du Programme EAF-Nansen, d’identifier les travaux de recherche spécifiques qui pourraient être menés en collaboration et d’examiner les objectifs de la campagne 2017 du N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen en Afrique du Nord-Ouest.

    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
    Report 2020
    2020
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
