It was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 19 to 23 July 1999. It was attended by delegations from 20 members of GFCM and by observers. The Consultation discussed two working documents presented by the Secretariat. The first was the synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries, and the second was a proposal for elements to be considered for the preparation of action plans at national and regional levels. Three Working Groups were created to discuss the elements dealing with: dissemination of the Code and improvement of the planning process (Working Group 1), enhancement of harmonization between aquaculture development and environmental conservation (Working Group 2), and use of the Code to upgrade the economic value o f aquaculture and to improve and stabilize trade in aquaculture products in the Mediterranean (Working Group 3). The three Working Group evaluated the document provided by the Secretariat and improved the list of proposed activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional level and general mechanisms for their implementation were also proposed. The Consultation recommended that the GFCM be the umbrella institution for implementation of the programme of activities id entified by the Working Groups. -
Book (series)APFIC - Report of the Ad Hoc Working Group of Experts in Rural Aquaculture. Bangkok, Thailand, 20-22 October 1999. 1999
Also available in:
No results found.This is the report of the meeting of the Ad Hoc Working Group of Experts in Rural Aquaculture of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission held in Bangkok, Thailand from 20 to 22 October 1999. Rural aquaculture contributes to the improvement of the livelihoods of the poor and to food security in areas where it is traditional practice. It has significant unfulfilled potential, particularly in areas where wild fish have declined recently with a widening gap between supply and demand of fish. Generic technologies exist for rural aquaculture so major constraints to its expansion are social and institutional. Poor farming households need to be specifically targeted and provided with institutional support to enable them to farm fish, although, for rural aquaculture to be sustainable, it has eventually to function as a private sector activity. An analytical framework is required to learn from past experience as there has been limited multiplier effect of successful projects. The establishmen t of regional networks would accelerate the contribution of aquaculture to rural development.
