    This document is the report of an expert consultation on Cleaner Fishery Harbours and Fish Quality Assurance held in Chennai, India, from October 25 to 28, 1999. It was attended by some 30 participants, most of whom were representatives from member-countries fishery harbour managers and administrators, professionals in fish quality control, fish export, harbour design and construction Resource persons were drawn from the FAO and the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The consultation’s develop ment objective was to ensure the quality of seafood through rehabilitation of existing fishery harbours and appropriate designs for new fishing harbours. The immediate objectives were to build awareness among key stakeholders about techniques to develop and maintain cleaner fishery harbours, expose them to state-of-the-art design principles and technologies,and facilitate the sharing ofexperience, expertise and learning among membercountries. This report contains the text of the “Chenn ai Declaration” passed by the Consultation, which grew out ofdiscussions among member-delegates. It also contains the text of papers presented by the resource persons.

    Fishery Harbour Manual on the Prevention of Pollution - Bay of Bengal Programme 1999

    Fishing harbours in the Bay of Bengal region are patronized by small-scale fisherfolk as well as by owners and operators of large vessels. Thousands of tons of fish are handled every day at these harbours. Although the bulk of fish landed in these countries is destined for local markets, every country wishes to improve the quality of its landed catch to increase exports of seafood products to more lucrative overseas markets. What constitutes pollution? What is contamination? This manual de scribes potential pollutants generated by harbour activities and potential contaminants that may find their way into the harbour from outside sources. It discusses the standards needed for water quality, and procedures to monitor standards. It discusses waste management and effluent treatment, and concepts, such as HACCP, designed to ensure fish quality. Because of recent developments on food safety assurance - such as the concept of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and the d irectives of the European Union - seafood exporting countries will, in future, need to comply with stringent new food safety requirements. This manual's information on sources of pollution and ways to control it is therefore timely. The BOBP thanks the IMO for supporting the research, preparation and production of this manual. It is the last in a series of collaborative activities on cleaner fishery harbours in the Bay of Bengal region between BOBP and the IMO. Earlier projects included re ception facilities for garbage and oily wastes at the Visakhapatnam fishing harbour; the 1991 regional workshop on cleaner fishery harbours, held in Penang, Malaysia as well as a series of pilot projects held in Phuket (Thailand), Negombo (Sri Lanka) and Male (Maldives).

    How to build a timber outrigger canoe - BOBP/MAG/12 1993
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Dug-out outrigger canoes, traditional fishing craft found from Madagascar in the west to Indonesia and the Pacific Islands in the east, are made from tree trunks of adequate diameter. But logs for construction of large canoes are becoming difficultto find and construction is consequently becoming more and more expensive. Dug-out construction also wastes a lot of timber. For each dugout canoe, two or three planked canoes can be built. The Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) undertook a project in Nias Island, Sumatera, Indonesia, and Shri Lanka to design and construct planked outrigger canoes that would provide an answer to the problems now being laced in building the traditional outrigger canoes.
