No results found.A training workshop on "Safeguarding salt lake brine shrimp (Artemia) resources for aquaculture" is planned to be held at FAO headquarters, from 2 to 6 September 2024. The workshop will be co-organized by FAO in collaboration with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), with co-sponsorship from the Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO) and the Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences (RAOS). Objectives of the training workshop: i) Identify inland salt lakes with Artemia populations that either have disappeared in recent years, or that are under (short/long-term) threat, and in both cases try to identify the causes for their disappearance or threat with focus on hydrological, biological ecological and climate changing aspects; ii) Evaluate methodologies that have been developed to safeguard lost habitats; iii) Review the long-term approach taken by different organizations in the State of Utah (United States of America) to protect the Great Salt Lake habitat and its resources (for wildlife and for the aquaculture industry); iv) Review similar approaches undertaken for the protection of other salt lakes in Asia; v) Review the characterization, monitoring and safeguarding of the gene pool of native and non-native Artemia species and stocks occurring in salt lakes, including guidelines for characterization of genetic resources the establishment of an Artemia cyst bank; vi) Brainstorm development of knowledge products that can enhance future management of inland salt lakes including protocols, suitable legislation and training programs, leading to improved water and nutrient management to protect the endemic Artemia gene pool and manage the resource effectively. -
Book (stand-alone)Towards gender-equitable small-scale fisheries. Proceedings of the Expert workshop on gender-equitable small-scale fisheries in the context of the implementation of the SSF Guidelines, Rome, Italy, 28-30 November 2016 2017

No results found.The Expert Workshop on gender-equitable small-scale fisheries in the context of the implementation of the SSF Guidelines was held on 28-30 November 2016 in FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. In keeping with the need expressed by various stakeholders during capacity development on the SSF Guidelines, it was considered important to develop gender guidance to support the application of the SSF Guidelines. It was therefore decided that a Gender Implementation Guide be developed to enhance the underst anding of the gender dimensions of small-scale fisheries and support gender equitable small-scale fisheries. Within this context, the Expert Workshop aimed at presenting and discussing a draft implementation guide (referred to subsequently as Gender Guide or Guide) on how to practically apply the SSF Guidelines in relation to gender issues aimed at supporting: 1. Awareness raising, advocacy and capacity development activities on the application of the relevant principles of the SSF Guidelines , as well as 2. The development and implementation of gender-sensitive sectoral and cross-sectoral policy frameworks and investment plans and programs. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Creating an enabling environment for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries"
Project code: GCP/GLO/965/SWE
2023Also available in:
No results found.It was found that the SIDA-SSF project was robustly designed, relevant and responsive to needs and emerging opportunities to further the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. Most notable achievements include greater awareness of the SSF Guidelines at all levels, the preparation of National Plans of Action for SSF (NPOA-SSF) in selected countries, the operationalization of the Advisory and Regional Advisory Groups under the SSF Global Strategic Framework (SSF-GSF), the Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH) study and the celebration of the International Year for Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022. The elaboration of a monitoring system for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines has progressed. The project has influence in building the capacity of SSF organizations and actors to represent the interests of small-scale fishers and fishworkers at national level and in international fora. Partnerships are a cornerstone of project implementation and enabling to move the SSF agenda forward.Recommendations include actions to be taken by the SIDA-SSF project Core Team and FAO. They emphasize approaches and priorities, thematic areas, collaborations and partnerships, social inclusion and targeting, project administration and oversight, learning and knowledge sharing, and finally the place of SSF in “blue” narratives and initiatives as areas to build on the project results and achieve sustainability and long-term impact.
