Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Symposium on Impacts on Fishing on the Environment - ICES-FAO Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour. Bangkok, Thailand 6-10 May 2013 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This document contains the report of the Symposium on Impacts of Fishing on the Environment arranged by the ICES-FAO Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour (WGFTFB) held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 6 to 10 May 2013. The Symposium was attended by more than 130 fisheries experts from 25 countries, and it provided an opportunity for fishing technologists and others from ICES member countries to exchange knowledge and ideas with contemporaries from around the world, especially Asia. T he symposium comprised three one-day sessions: (i) low-impact and fuel-efficient fishing gear (LIFE); (ii) use of artificial light as a stimulus on fish behaviour in fish capture (LIGHT); and (iii) selectivity of trawls in multispecies/crustacean fisheries (SHRIMP). This report summarizes the presentations of the Symposium and concludes the main discussions. This report also summarizes presentations from the open session of the annual WGFTFB meeting. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (stand-alone)Emergency responseFisheries and aquaculture emergency response guidance
Review recommendations for best practice
2013Also available in:
No results found.This document contains the proceedings of the FAO workshop entitled “Best practice in responding to emergencies in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors”, held from 15 to 16 March 2012 in Rome, Italy. Experts in the fields of fisheries and aquaculture policy and management, post-harvest practices and trade, fishing operations, enviromnent and of social development and vulnerable groups contributed technical background papers relating to the challenge of responding to emergencies that a ffect the fisheries and aquaculture sector. Populations depending on fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihoods are threatened not only by natural hazards but also by human induced events and other developments beyond their control. Responding to fisheries and aquaculture in an emergency situation presents a range of complex issues. The demand for improved guidance for response and recovery in the fisheries and aquaculture sector was voiced by FAO partners including recently i n a series of consultation meetings relating to disaster risk management held in 2009 and 2010 (FAO, 2010(a), FAO 2010 (b)). In response to this demand, FAO is leading a process to develop guidance for disaster response and recovery in fisheries and aquaculture. The Fisheries and aquaculture emergency response guidance (the Guidance) will compile the best practice in disaster response and recovery for fisheries and aquaculture and in turn help to ensure that disaster response and rec overy for fisheries and aquaculture is consistent with the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Guidance will support both the saving of lives and the saving of livelihoods through two key strategies: assisting in the identification of the most appropriate fisheries and aquaculture interventions in emergencies; by setting out the best practice and providing guidance notes for these interventions. In the process of developing the best practice and guidance, a team of experts were invited to identify best practice and guidance across a range of technical areas. This workshop was designed to provide the opportunity for discussions around the recommendations for best practice and how these could be presented in the form of guidance. In this report the outcomes from these discussions and presentations have been consolidated into three areas which are: 1. the challenges to implementing best practice in an emergency context; 2. the opportunities presented by the emergency context; and 3. the recommendations for best practice as presented by each of the technical experts. In the closing session of the workshop the challenges of bringing response efforts across the elements of fisheries and aquaculture to create coherent guidance were emphasised as was the need to take advantage of the opportunities presented by an emergency situation to make a contribution to long-term development by “buildingback better”. In supporting the use of the Gui dance the participants emphasised the importance of a programme that enables it to be disseminated in the most effective form for the target users.
