Book (series)Exploring the role of inland fisheries area-based management in conserving freshwater biodiversity 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This technical paper is an initial step towards exploring the potential identification of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in inland waters where fisheries and fisheries-related activities take place. It forms part of the FAO Blue Transformation roadmap, as highlighted in the practical guidance document on Fisheries OECMs A Handbook for Identifying, Evaluating, and Reporting Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures in Marine Fisheries. Part 1 provides an overview of the role and potential contribution of inland fisheries management to biodiversity conservation and how area-based fisheries management in inland waters fits within the OECM framework. The subsequent chapters, which make up Part 2, offer region-specific information for Latin America, Africa and Asia, presenting examples of area-based management in inland fisheries that provide context-specific insights. These examples aim to support the assessment and recognition of potential for inland fisheries-related OECMs in each region. -
ProjectStrengthening Sustainable Management of Indonesia’s Inland Aquatic Biodiversity - GCP/INS/303/GFF 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Indonesia’s inland aquatic ecosystems are crucial to biodiversity and the livelihoods of communities that rely on them. However, they face severe threats from unsustainable use and habitat degradation. To address these challenges, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented the IFish project. This initiative aimed to strengthen sustainable management frameworks for inland aquatic biodiversity and enhance the protection of high conservation-value freshwater ecosystems across Indonesia. The project focused on five demonstration sites across West Java, Central Java, Central Kalimantan, and Riau Province, working to mainstream biodiversity conservation into resource development and management policies. Working closely with multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, universities, and NGOs, the project demonstrated effective conservation practices while fostering institutional reforms and driving community-led innovations in sustainable resource management. -
Book (series)Report of the Regional Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean and for North America on the Development of a Registry of Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (Incorporating a review of strategic priorities for a Global Plan of Action)
Virtual Workshop, 21−24 September 2020

No results found.This report summarizes the proceedings and outcomes of the “Regional Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean and for North America on the Development of a Global Information System for Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (incorporating a review of strategic priorities for a Global Plan of Action)” held from 21 to 24 September 2020 (with a final wrap-up session held on 1 October 2020). The workshop was attended by National Focal Points for Aquatic Genetic Resources from Latin America and the Caribbean and for North America, officials from ministries and other governmental organizations, and also by representatives of three regional aquaculture organizations. The objectives of the workshop were to promote standardized use of nomenclature and terminology in the description and categorization of AqGR, especially below the level of species (i.e. farmed types), to identify priority regional stakeholders who would benefit from an information system, such as the Registry, to evaluate the key elements of the prototype Registry using regionally relevant species and their farmed type and, for each of the four Priority Areas of the GPA, to review the strategic priorities and propose concrete activities under each. Participants identified government resource managers, academia and researchers, policy-makers, and intergovernmental organizations as the principal stakeholders and beneficiaries of the Registry. These same stakeholders would also be the main contributors of information to the system. Aquaculture producers were also identified as major contributors of information. It was thus noted that special consideration needs to be given to engaging private industry and demonstrating the value of the information system to the private sector. Participants made recommendations on the information sought for the Registry and, in particular, expressed concern over Members’ capacity to record information on production of farmed types of aquatic genetic resources.
