Book (series)Report of the Global Workshop between regional fishery bodies and basin management organizations for scaling up cooperation towards sustainable inland fisheries in the context of food security and nutrition, Entebbe, Uganda, 6–8 December 2023 2024

No results found.Small-scale fisheries in inland waters are particularly important for supporting local communities, providing livelihoods, and ensuring food security, especially in rural areas along or around existing water basins. However, these food systems are vulnerable to stressors such as pollution, habitat loss and degradation, draining wetlands, river fragmentation and poor land management. Indeed, there is potential to increase synergies between these different sectors using “integrated water resources management” (IWRM). There are currently no global or regional frameworks between regional fishery bodies (RFBs) and basin management organizations (BMOs) in place to exploit synergies between inland fisheries and other water use sectors. Consequently, the overall objective of the first global workshop between RFBs and BMOs, held in Entebbe, Uganda from 6 to 8 December 2023 was to promote, discuss and establish an effective cooperation framework between BMOs and RFBs and to develop concerted approaches to integrate inland fisheries management into basin management, in the context of climate change, water scarcity, food security and ecosystem health. The workshop report will share the outcomes from this workshop which resulted in a consensus on the importance of employing multidisciplinary approaches, recognizing their value and the imperative need for such strategies. -
Book (series)Summary information on the role of international fishery organizations or arrangements and other bodies concerned with the conservation and management of living aquatic resources 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This Circular provides summary information on the role of international fishery organizations or arrangements and other bodies with regard to the conservation and management of living aquatic resources. It updates information in FAO Fisheries Circular No. 908, “Summary information on the role of international fishery and other bodies with regard to the conservation and management of living resources of the high seas” prepared by Mr S.H. Marashi in 1996, but extends to management of all living a quatic resources. It includes information on new bodies established since 1996, as well as bodies with competence over inland fisheries. Bodies that have ceased to exist since that time are not included. This Circular updates information as appropriate on the establishment, area of competence, species, membership and main objectives and activities of the organizations. In addition, it contains responses of the organizations to a survey seeking information on (a) priority issues for the organiz ation; (b) implementation of post-UNCED fishery instruments; and (c) activities, plans and priorities in relation to specific issues. This information is described in relation to each relevant body, and general trends relating to priority issues and activities are identified in respect of these responses. The updated information in this Circular was provided by the relevant organizations. Where information was not received, the relevant entry remains unchanged from Circular No. 908 as indicated .
