However, the industry has suffered from inadequate recognition and support for a long time and it is only in recent years that the governments have begun to devote attention to this important means of food production. Increased fishing pressure on natural fish stocks and the reduced yield from some of the conventional fisheries, together with expected changes in the Law of the Sea have served to focus special attention on aquaculture as a means of meeting fish production requirements in most countries of the region. Preliminary analyses of supply and demand for fishery products have shown that aquaculture is an effective means of filling the gaps in current and future supplies of many of the favoured aquafoods. The role of aquaculture in integrated rural development has also been recognized and the development of rural communities dependent on aquacult ure as the main economic activity has received active consideration. The culture of species with export potential, like shrimps and prawns, is being attempted in a number of countries of the region. Thus large-scale development of aquaculture is being considered and included in many national development plans. However, it was deemed necessary to examine the current programmes in the light of medium- and long-term food production and economic development requirements in different countries and th e basic requirements for sound development of the industry. The Second Regional Workshop on Aquaculture Planning was therefore organized by the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme in Bangkok, 1-17 October 1975 in cooperation with the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Far East and the Government of Thailand, to cover the Asian region. As in the case of the First Regional Workshop held in Accra, Ghana, 2-17 July 1975, the objectives of the Workshop were to: -

The workshop was the second of two; the first focused on West and Central Africa. Together, they form part of the consultative process of Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). The workshop addressed three main questions with respect to the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the impacts of disasters and climate change: -- what are the effects and vulnerabilities of climate change and disasters to the sector? -- what has the sector done to adapt (and what can we learn from thi s)? -- what else can be done (and how) to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience, and how do we prioritize action to adapt to climate change and strengthen resilience? The workshop recommended disaster risk reduction and adaptation actions at the local, national and regional levels based on practical experiences and examples of actions that have worked, or not worked, in the past. The workshop outputs will be used to complement the mapping and gap-analysis paper that will, in turn, contr ibute to a work plan for Component C of the NFFP. The combined findings of this workshop and the mapping and gap analysis will be well placed to feed into the pan- African process of elaborating a comprehensive fisheries reform strategy and ensuring that climate change and disaster impacts are addressed for the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
