Book (series)Application of a general methodology to understand vulnerability and adaptability of the small pelagic fisheries in the Benguela countries 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This report is an output of the project "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Small Pelagic Fisheries of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem", which falls within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Benguela Current Convention (BCC) project on "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System". The aim of the project is to "build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors within the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystems through strengthening adaptive capacity and implementing participatory and integrated strategies in order to ensure food and livelihood security". The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the governments of Angola, Namibia and South Africa and FAO. FAO is the agency responsible for the supervision and provision of technical guidance during the implementation of the project and the BCC was assigned as the executing agency. -
Book (series)Report of the Regional Training Workshop on Climate Change Adaptation Planning
University of Cape Town, South Africa, 18–19 March 2019
2022Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of the workshop was to support governance actors and community leads to learn and train local communities in moving from vulnerability assessment to adaptation planning and implementation in fisheries and aquaculture. Twenty-six participants (women and men) attended from Angola, Namibia and South Africa. The workshop was spread across two days. Day 1 provided an overview of some of the key ideas and tools for adaptation planning. Participants were reminded of the need to combine information from bottom-up and top-down assessment processes. A review of the adaptation toolbox developed by FAO helped guide partners in planning their adaptation; the importance of considering the timing of risk as well as that of climate funding, were reiterated. The focus of day 2 was on community-level adaptation planning. The main climate risks/stressors identified during the rapid vulnerability assessment (RVA) process were revisited, and the suite of adaptation actions identified were presented. The practical steps to follow when taking forward the adaptation “ideas” and options identified in the RVA process were outlined. This is not a linear process but a slow, ongoing and iterative process, and each adaptation option has its own pathway. Some adaptation actions may be easily implemented (e.g. a training course on community organization) while others may require several steps and information (e.g. research, engagement with different government departments) before being implemented. The outcome of the workshop was used to inform the planning of the project Supporting Member Countries Implement Climate Change Adaptation Measures in Fisheries and Aquaculture (GCP/GLO/959/NOR). -
Book (series)Legal and institutional aspects of management arrangements for shared stocks with reference to small pelagics in Northwest Africa. / Aspects légaux et institutionnels de l’aménagement des stocks partagés: cas des poissons pélagiques côtiers de la région nord-ouest africaine. 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The present report, following a short introductory section, continues with three major sections. The first reviews and provides a comparative analysis of 39 international arrangements dealing with matters relating to the management of shared stocks. The analysis compares various aspects ranging from the scope of such arrangements to the institutional settings as well as the decision-making processes. A second section reviews existing multilateral arrangements covering the Northwest Africa regio n, and in particular arrangements including The Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal. The aspects of the analyses made in the previous section that would be appropriate for cooperative arrangements among the coastal States of the Northwest African region are identified and options for funding of management arrangements are outlined. The last section of the report draws attention to possible options for cooperative arrangements among the four States listed, and possible themes for such coopera tion.
