Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Fifth Global Fisheries Enforcement Training Workshop (GFETW), Auckland New Zealand, 7-11 March 2016 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The document contains the report of the Fifth Global Fisheries Enforcement Training Workshop (GFETW) held in Auckland, New Zealand from 7 to 11 March 2016. The 5th GFETW built on the success of the first four GFETWs convened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2005, in Trondheim, Norway in 2008, in Maputo, Mozambique in 2011, and in San José, Costa Rica in February 2014. Previous workshops promoted cooperation between enforcement authorities across national borders and facilitated the introduction of n ew monitoring technologies. Each workshop has raised awareness of the importance of effective enforcement of fisheries laws. Enhancing cooperation is a primary focus of the International Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) Network with a special emphasis on collaboration with developing countries. The 5th GFETW was highly successful in bringing together more than 200 participants from 55 countries, including MCS practitioners from 45 State governments, including 34 developing countries. O ne regional economic integration organization was represented, and MCS experts of four regional fisheries management organizations also participated in the Workshop. Intergovernmental organizations represented at the 5th GFETW included the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), INTERPOL, the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and the Indian Ocean Commission. The Workshop was structured in sessions according to themes, including: Case studies of International and Regio nal Cooperation; MCS Partnerships, Sponsorship and Technical Assistance; Case Studies of the Utilization of MCS Tools in Indigenous Fishing Communities and Archipelago Nations; MCS Capability and Capacity Building Activities; Preparation for Implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement; Successfully-introduced, Cost-effective MCS Tools; New MCS Technologies and Methodologies; 2nd Stop IUU Fishing Award contest; Global IUU Estimate: Study of IUU Studies; Development of an MCS IUU Risk Fram ework; FAO presentations on instruments to fight IUU fishing; and Data Analysis and Risk Assessment. -

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the second global fisheries enforcement training workshop Trondheim, Norway, 7-11 August 2008 2009
Also available in:
No results found.The document contains the report of the second Global Fisheries Enforcement Training Workshop (GFETW) which was held in Trøndheim, Norway from 7 to 11 August 2008. The first GFETW was convened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2005, and by all accounts was highly successful in bringing together a global community of fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) professionals to share information and experiences and to receive training on a broad array of MCS topics. Due to the succe ss of that initial workshop, this second GFETW was arranged to further tackle the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) problem, with the nearly 200 practitioners at the GFETW discussing pragmatic solutions for eliminating IUU fishing, using actual situations covering a broad array of topics. These topics included case studies from many nations, applications of sophisticated technologies and ingeniously simple low tech approaches, the role of transshipment, port State measures, leg al support, organized crime, corruption and more. Recognizing the many problems they share, the participants agreed to employ cooperative approaches and seek best practices in addressing IUU fishing activities. Their conclusions are embodied in the 2008 Trøndheim Declaration. A future workshop was announced for 2010 in Mozambique.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
