Book (series)Report of the workshop on fisheries other effective area-based conservation measures in Latin America and the Caribbean, 27–29 March 2023 2024
Also available in:
In view of the importance of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) for biodiversity, and the need to improve individual countries’ capacity to report fisheries-related OECMs and understand how the fisheries sector contributes to current and future area-based biodiversity conservation objectives, FAO has been carrying out a series of activities to support countries to identify and implement OECMs. These activities include the organization of workshops and the development of practical guidance, as requested by FAO’s Committee on Fisheries (COFI). With the support of the Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (Organization of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector of the Central American Isthmus [OSPECA]), FAO organized the workshop on other effective area-based conservation measures in fisheries-related areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. The workshop was held on 27–28 March 2023 in the city of San José, Costa Rica. This workshop supported Member Countries of the Commission for Small-scale and Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture of Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPESAALC), as well as regional and national fisheries-related organizations in the Latin American and Caribbean regions to:(i) apply CBD criteria for the identification of OECMs;(ii) understand the challenges, opportunities and needs that arise in the identification of fisheries‑related OECMs; and(iii) synthesize lessons learned and obtain recommendations.To achieve these objectives, topics discussed included: concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation and reporting of OECMs; examples of OECMs in the world; conservation strategies in Latin America and the potential contribution of OECMs to these; the framework for fisheries governance and area-based management in Latin America; Argentina’s progress in recognizing OECMs; and the presentation of four case studies carried out in Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico. The workshop enabled extensive exchanges on the difficulties of interpreting the concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation, and reporting of OECMs, as well as the key points, challenges, and difficulties in analysing and considering potential OECMs. -

With the support of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), FAO organized the workshop on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. The workshop was held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 6 to 8 December 2023. This workshop was attended by representatives from governments, academia, non-governmental organizations, and intergovernmental organizations from the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia region and aimed to build their capacity to apply the CBD criteria for the identification of OECMs and understand the challenges, opportunities, and needs that arise in the identification of fisheries-related OECMs. To achieve these objectives, topics discussed included concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation, and reporting of OECMs; examples of fisheries area-based management tools that contribute to biodiversity conservation; conservation strategies and the advances in the recognition of other effective area-based conservation measures in the region; and the presentation of case studies carried out in Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. The workshop enabled extensive exchanges on the difficulties of interpreting the concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation, and reporting of OECMs, as well as the key points and challenges in analysing and considering potential OECMs. -
Book (series)Report of the expert meeting on the potential for recognizing other effective area-based conservation measures in inland fisheries
Rome, 27–29 November 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Fisheries and Aquaculture Division (NFI) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) organized an in-person expert meeting in Rome, Italy on 27–29 November 2023 to discuss considerations and opportunities for recognizing other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in freshwater ecosystems where inland fisheries are being managed. FAO engaged experts in inland fisheries, freshwater management and biodiversity conservation with the objective of discussing, in the context of the newly adopted Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), (1) the role of freshwater fisheries resources management in meeting the newly adopted global biodiversity targets and; (2) the guidance needed to recognize the potential contribution of freshwater fisheries resources management to biodiversity conservation and to Target 3 through the recognition of OECMs.
