Synopsis (short abstract) Smart Fiche 24 covers the definition of the ‘pilot project approach’ and its relevance in the context of management tools. This second part focuses on best practices and those that should be avoided during the different stages of the pilot project cycle. Indeed, one of the challenges has been to maximize impacts and guarantee sustainability whilst limiting the ‘transaction costs’ that this type of approach can generate. Nonetheless this approach has been enriched over the five years of the IOC-S martFish project and this information sheet provides an overview of the main lessons learned.

    Lessons learned from 'pilot projects' related to the management of coastal fisheries
    Part I - Relevance of the concept of pilot projects in the context of coastal fisheries management
    2014
    Also available in:
    Pilot projects have greatly contributed to the success of the SmartFish Programme if reference is made to the first tangible effects and impacts of most of these projects. At the same time, SmartFish is continually adapting its approach by taking on board lessons learned as pilot projects are implemented, to improve practices, consolidate achievements, increase impacts and to work on their sustainability

    Octopus Fishery Management Initiatives: A Promising Approach for Managing Coastal Fisheries 2014
    Also available in:
    Fished on all coasts of the Western Indian Ocean region, octopus - Octopus cyanea - is a source of income for numerous coastal communities. As it occurs in lagoons, octopus is generally fished on foot at low tide, although in numerous locations, the increasing scarcity of the resource has driven fishers to dive over the submarine wall. Formerly considered as a low-value product that only fisher households consume, octopus from South West Indian Ocean is now widely marketed. Nowadays, the region exports over 3,000MT of octopus per year, the largest part of which is provided by Tanzania and Madagascar. The octopuses are mainly intended for the European Union market, particularly Portugal, Italy, and France.

    Management of the lobster fishery in Madagascar 2014
    Also available in:
    FAO and the IOC launched the Oratsimba Project in Sainte Luce to develop a simple and reproducible model of sustainable community management of the lobster fishery. This initiative integrates the sector dimension through the association of actors who locally control the purchase and export of lobsters, and also takes into account the articulation of regulatory arsenals between local and national levels.

    The impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
    Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
    2020
    Also available in:

    Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
