Book (stand-alone)Institutional and economic perspectives on distant-water fisheries access arrangements 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This summary outlines the information contained in the “Institutional and Economic Perspectives on Distant-Water Fisheries Access Arrangements” report (2024), which is an expansion of the first report the “Mapping Distant-Water Fisheries Access Arrangements”, published in 2022.This report conducts a more targeted examination of the economic dynamics, policy drivers, and institutional framework of fishing access arrangements (FAA). Six comprehensive case studies of three resource-holding countries or regions (Ghana, Namibia and the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICT)), and three resource‑seeking countries or regions (Japan, the European Union and China) are examined. This summary report is part of an ad hoc study on fisheries access arrangements and does not include details already referred to in the summary of the 2022 report. -
Book (series)Mapping distant-water fisheries access arrangements 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The report results from an exploratory mapping based on a desk study using a range of academic, policy, and media literature. It also draws on the multiple contributors’ extensive experiences as researchers, including interview data and collaborations with governments, industry, and civil society. This report presents fisheries access arrangements by mapping the major arrangements for accessing marine capture fisheries in foreign jurisdictional waters, with a particular emphasis on developing countries. This representative mapping of access arrangements provides a conceptual and empirical foundation for future work on related issues. The report focuses exclusively on industrial-scale activities, including vessels locally flagged and registered where the business is not beneficially owned in the country. The report does not examine fisheries access in general (e.g. access rights for a domestic firm in a domestic fishery). It does not undertake economic analysis nor provide policy options. This report is the first phase of a comprehensive study on analysing fishing access arrangements from an economic angle to facilitate the identification of opportunities to enhance the trade of fisheries-related services, particularly for developing countries. -
DocumentLegal and institutional aspects of the management of fisheries in the Bangladesh exclusive economic zone 1979
Also available in:
No results found.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”.
