ProjectProgramme / project reportTuna Fisheries In The EEZs Of India, Maldives And Sri Lanka - BOBP/WP/31 1985
Also available in:
No results found.This paper attempts to summarize the present knowledge of those tuna resources in the EEZs of India, Maldives and Sri Lanka that are likely to be shared stocks. It contains a summary report, a survey of tuna fishery in the three EEZs and country reports from Maldives and Sri Lanka. The material was put together following a working group meeting of scientists from Maldives and Sri Lanka, with India represented by two observers from the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka. The meeting was hel d 4-8 June 1984 at the National Aquatic Resources Agency (NARA), Colombo, Sri Lanka, and was held under the auspices of the FAO/UNDP project “Marine Fishery Resources Management in the Bay of Bengal “(RAS/81/051). Dr. K. Sivasubramaniam, Senior Fishery Biologist of the project, acted as convenor. The Director General of NARA, Dr. Onil Pereira, opened the meeting. “Marine Fishery Resources Management in the Bay of Bengal” is a component of the Bay of Bengal Programme. The project has a du ration of four years; it commenced in January 1983. Its immediate objective is to improve the practice of fishery resources assessment among participating countries and to stimulate and assist in joint assessment and management activities between countries sharing fish stocks. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSummary Report of BOBP Fishing Trials and Demersal Resources Studies in Sri Lanka - BOBP/REP/23 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper briefly describes the various studies and fishing trials concerning the demersal fishery resources of Sri Lanka conducted between 1979 and 1985 by the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). Some of these activities have been documented through the following papers : BOBP/WP/6 - “Fishing Trials with Bottom-set Longlines in Sri Lanka” by G. Pajot, K. T. Weerasooriya. BOBP/WP/16 - “Further Trials with Bottom Longlines in Sri Lanka”. BOBP/WP/40 - “Promotion of Bottom Set Longlines in Sri L anka” by K. T. Weerasooriya, S. S. C. Pieris, M. Fonseka. BOBP/WP/41 - “The Demersal Fisheries of Sri Lanka” by K. Sivasubramaniam and R. Maldeniya BOBP/WP/42 - “Fish trap trials in Sri Lanka”. This paper distils the findings of these papers-and of one other paper under preparation -for quick assimilation by planners, decision-makers and researchers. The demersal fishery activities reported in these papers were carried out by the BOBP’s small-scale fisheries project (funded by SIDA). A s enior fishing technologist and a senior fishery biologist were mainly responsible for the execution of BOBP activities. Officers from the Ministry of Fisheries and scientists from NARA (National Aquatic Resources Agency) were closely associated with the trials. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyA Study on Dolphin Catches in Shri Lanka - BOBP/REP/56 1993
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the results of a one-year study of dolphin catches in Shri Lanka. Very high estimates of dolphin landings, based on studies of limited coverage and questionable sampling techniques, had been made in the past and were causing much concern in the island. The study was, therefore, commissioned to obtain a reliable estimate of dolphin catches and their economic importance as well as to gather information on the attitudes to and perceptions of dolphin catching, trading and consum ption. The study, carried out from September 1991 to September 1992, included both bioeconomic and socioeconomic components. It was made by the National Aquatic Resources Agency (NARA) of Shri Lanka and was sponsored by a Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) project, “Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/1 1 8/MUL). The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered by K. Sivasubramaniam, Senior Fishery Biologist, FAO/BOBP, in the technical supervision of the study, Inge Jungeling, Socioeconomist (APO), FAO/BOBP, for assisting in the socioeconomic component of the study and Kanthi Subasinghe, Mahendra Fernando and R. Samarakoon, Research Assistants of NARA, in monitoring the bioeconomic component of the study.

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
