It serves a wide audience from the Government of Saudi Arabia, stakeholders, managers, technical experts to fisherfolks and consumers to demonstrate and enhance the vital role and contributions of fisheries and aquaculture towards achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life for all, leaving no one behind. I trust this report steadfast continuous support from all stakeholders and beneficiaries to stay united and get prepared to face the upcoming challenges. Through a joint effort between the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA), General Fisheries Resources Directorate, Fisheries branches and FAO Saudi Arabia, data from 2016 to 2021 were collected related to the number of fisherfolks’ visits to the landing sites, information on the catch species, weight by gears, locations and dates. Data provided concludes the analysis of the number of capture per species, per gear, per month and per location for a duration of six years from 2016 to 2021. Improved fisheries management enables Saudi Arabia to provide prudent monitoring data with the strong support of science-based, context-specific, based on inclusive, transparent and multidisciplinary policies, and resulting in plans and actions developed in equitable ways. Both biological and social science parameters draw on local knowledge establishes effective fisheries management and develop a sustainable fisheries sector in Saudi Arabia. -
Book (stand-alone)Smart licensing of artisanal fisheries in the coastal waters of Tanzania (Mainland) with emphasis on small pelagics fisheries 2014

No results found.During October-November 2013 a mini fisheries frame survey was carried out in the districts bordering the Tanzanian coast of the Indian Ocean. Its purpose was to obtain an overview of the distribution of fishermen and fishing vessels along the coast and in order to find out to what extent registration and licensing of fishing vessels and fishermen takes place. The information led to the estimation of potential revenues in case all artisanal vessels and fishermen were licensed. Their registration would be a great step towards combating Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported fishing in Tanzanian waters. The results of the mini frame survey were compared with those of the latest frame survey in 2009. An increase in fishermen and a slight decrease in vessels could be observed. The registration and licensing rates increased from 27 to 37% over a period of four years. It may take long before the entire fleet is registered and licensed. Therefore it is proposed to make use of existing technology , using mobile phones and the so-called “mobile money or smart money” to collect license fees (and registration fees). This system is well known in East Africa and payment points are found in every village and town. This system will guarantee a secure and transparent way of recording licencing information. Upon receipt of the funds the fishermen and fishing vessels will be provided with badges and license plates to demonstrate their compliance with regulations. Analyses have been prepared to ind icate the increase in revenues if licence fees could be increased to the equivalents of US$ 15 and US$ 20 per year. These revenues are considerable and would easily meet the initial costs for the establishment of the system. This technological way of revenue collection provides other advantages, too, for instance the creation of a network that allows the distribution of bulk messages to reach thousands of beneficiaries in a short time, to warn for instance against extreme weather conditions, to coordinate search and rescue operations, or to remind fishermen to pay their fees, etc. The results of the mini survey and the proposed system for licensing have been discussed during a workshop in Bagamoyo and the discussions led to a number of recommendations to strengthen the line of command between the Fisheries Department and the District Fisheries Officers, to plough back revenues from fisheries operations into the fisheries sector; to simplify the requirements from another institution res ponsible for shipping and to test the new system in three districts Pangani, Bagamoyo and Kinondoni (PABAKI). The above system is in line with the latest Fisheries Management Plan for small pelagic fisheries based on the Ecosystem Approach to Fishing that all fishermen and fishing vessels be registered and licensed. The method may apply to the entire artisanal fleet operating in the Tanzanian coastal waters. The SmartFish programme could herewith establish a system of Smart Licenses for Smart fi shermen.
