Also available in:
No results found.This workshop was the second of a series of regional workshops on fisheries tenure and user rights. It aimed to discover regional nuances and specificities of the Latin America and Caribbean area to develop how-to guidance on appropriate tenure systems and rights-based approaches for fisheries. Representatives from both government and non-government sectors attended this workshop. Participants at the workshop presented fisheries tenure and user rights of 11 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jamaica, Grenada, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Uruguay. Participants discussed in plenary three topics: 1) Recognition and allocation of tenure rights and responsibilities; 2) Transfers and other changes to tenure rights; and 3) Administration of tenure. Participants made recommendations for future work, including (1) increasing efforts on securing small-scale fishers rights; and (2) finding solutions on how different sectors can coexist. To do so, participants requested more information and guidance on tenure and user rights in fisheries along with on-the-ground support. -

Advancing knowledge on how the world’s marine and inland capture fisheries are accessed, used, and managed using various types of rights-based approaches (RBAs) is a crucial step towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and attaining food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits. The Global Conference on Tenure and User Rights in Fisheries 2018 created a neutral platform for a wide variety of participants, including government officials; fishers from industrial, small-scale and indigenous/traditional communities; fisheries-related stakeholders; nongovernment organizations (NGOs); civil society organizations (CSOs); intergovernmental organizations (IGOs); and academics from around the world. Sharing perceptions and experiences, participants exchanged information and concrete examples through case studies on how tenure and RBAs can harmonize the concepts of responsible fisheries, social and economic development as well as ideas and concerns about the fair and equitable application of user rights in capture fisheries. UserRights 2018 was a unique event that brought together both technical expertise and practical case studies, with the objective of using this diverse knowledge to advance the SDGs. -

In many countries, however, legislative reform is urgently needed to keep pace with changing environmental and social conditions, needs, norms and requirements. Sustainable wildlife management typically involves many different sectors, such as hunting and fishing, land tenure, ecosystem management, food safety and animal production. Consequently, policies and legislation may need to be strengthened or updated within and between these sectors.This publication aims to spark new ways of working to strengthen community-based sustainable wildlife management worldwide.The SWM Programme, which is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD), seeks to improve community-based sustainable wildlife management. What does this mean in practice? The initiative is working on ways to respect, strengthen and protect the rights of communities who live near wildlife and depend on wildlife resources for food and income, while ensuring the conservation and sustainability of wildlife populations. The SWM Programme supports communities’ efforts to secure formal rights to govern access to, and use of, wildlife within their traditional territories, and to strengthen their capacity to determine how they regulate use of wildlife.
