Book (series)The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects
A resource book for practitioners and local decision-makers based on the findings and recommendations of a FAO review
2006On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resour ce book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-mak ers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management. -

Book (series)Report of the Meeting on the Small Marine Pelagic Fishery in the United Republic of Tanzania, Bagamoyo, Tanzania, 11–12 August 2015

No results found.The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) is composed of mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Within the union framework, mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar have full mandate for the management of marine fisheries located in their territorial and internal waters. Fisheries operating in the waters of mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar are managed by the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development (MLFD) of mainland Tanzania and the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries (MLF) of Zanzibar. The marine fishery sector plays a significant role in the development of coastal economies in both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, with the small pelagic fishery being an important component of the sector. The governance and management system of the small pelagic fishery in Tanzania faces various weaknesses and shortcomings, including the absence of any institutional mechanism to support collaboration between the mainland and Zanzibar. However, the small pelagic fishery is de facto a ‘shared’ fishery amongst the two political and administrative entities. The aim of this meeting was to foster collaboration and contribute to the institutionalization of a dialogue between the two parties for improved governance and management of the small pelagic marine fishery. Representatives of key public and private stakeholders concerned by the development and management of the fishery participated in the meeting. The format of the meeting included presentations of papers aimed at guiding discussions on the current si tuation of the fishery and major issues to be addressed to guarantee sustainability and enhance the contribution of the fishery to local and national economies. These presentations also included a paper on possible collaborative mechanisms for the concerted management of the ‘shared’ fishery. A working group session was also organized to identify priority areas for collaboration on actions of common interest. During the meeting, detailed discussions were held on these different topics. The meeti ng however deplored the lack of data and information on the fishery and its related value chains, as this hampers proper management and results in significant underestimations of the real social and economic performance of the fishery. By the end of the meeting, both parties confirmed the need to set up a collaborative mechanism for the concerted management of Tanzania’s small marine pelagic fishery. Participants also identified the need to establish a specific inter-ministerial committee for sm all pelagic fisheries as the best option for institutionalizing permanent dialogue and promoting priority areas for collaboration between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar for this fishery.
