Also available in:
The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a duration of four years. There are eleven countries and three intergovernmental organisations participating in the project: Bu rundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States (PTA) and the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared water bodies ; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in sectoral and project planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base. The present document is the report of the second meeting of the Advisory Committee of the project. This meeting was organized from 24 to 26 April 1991 at Bujumbura, Burundi. The document includes the report of the meeting as well as five appendices: the list of participants, the agenda, the t erms of reference of the Advisory Committee, the workplan for 1991, a trust fund project proposal and the summary of conclusions and recommendations. The document is published in English and in French. -

The Committee agreed that a harmonized approach is necessary for deciding on management units. Concerning the definition of parameters to express fishing efforts, the Committee decided to set up an ad hoc working group to discuss this issue. The Committee reviewed the current situation and available information on stock assessment an d recognized the necessity of developing a capacity to adapt some assessment methods to the Mediterranean context. The Committee agreed on its structure and functioning and elected its Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson for the two consecutive intersessional periods -
Book (series)Proceedings of the Second Meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee of the FAO Project Management of tuna fishing capacity: conservation and socio-economics Madrid (Spain), 15-18 March 2004 2005
Also available in:
No results found.The FAOs Japan-funded Project on the Management of tuna fishing capacity: conservation and socio-economics has been formulated by FAO with the objective of improving the management of tuna fisheries on a global scale. Its immediate objectives are to provide technical information necessary for the management of tuna fishing capacity and to identify and resolve the technical problems associated with that management on a global scale, taking into account conservation and socio-economic is sues. This publication presents results of the studies carried out by the Project that were proposed by the Project and considered by its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) at its 1st Meeting (Rome, Italy, 14-16 April 2003) as being of highest priority. Earlier versions of papers on these studies were presented to the 2nd Meeting of the TAC (Madrid, Spain, 15-18 March 2004), where they were critically discussed. These papers were subsequently peer reviewed, revised and edited. The studies presented in this publication are on the tuna fisheries and resources, the characterization and estimation of fishing capacity, the tuna fishing industry and the management of tuna-fishing capacity. Their results are summarized in the Overview of this publication, and detailed information on them is presented in the following four sections associated with these subjects. The first section describes, on the global scale: the development of tuna fisheries since their inception , including (i) the evolution of vessels, fishing gear, navigation and fishing techniques and fishing grounds and (ii) the trends in tuna catches, the status of the tuna stocks and the tuna catch data available from the FAOs Fisheries Global Information System (FIGIS). The second section includes three papers on fishing capacity of industrial tuna purse seiners and longliners and on the importance of non-industrial tuna fisheries. The third section consists of one paper that qu alitatively and quantitatively assesses the influence of the tuna market (e.g. prices and imports) on tuna catches. The fourth section includes two papers that analyse past developments and future options for the management of fishing capacities of the purse-seine and longline fleets.
