Synopsis (short abstract) Since 1975, the Nansen Programme has supported developing countries in fisheries research and management in their efforts to enhance food security. Fisheries and environmental surveys with the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen have been an important and integral part of the programme throughout its phases. A Science Plan has been developed that addresses the overall principles and main thematic areas for the research of the EAF-Nansen Programme, including the use of the research vessel (R/V) Dr Fridtjof Nansen as a key tool for field work. The science plan is comprised of three pillars: Sustainable fisheries, Oil/Gas/Pollution impacts and cliamte change and focuss on 11 thematic areas, as decribed in this brochure, all in support of the overall objective of the Programme: promoting sustainable fisheries to improve food and nutrition security for partner countries.

    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.
