MeetingMeeting documentDevelopments in the east African billfish conservation and research programme 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The African Billfish Foundation (ABF) have continued to develop the East African Billfish Conservation and Research programme over the past two years taking into account those recommendations emphasised at the Working Party on Billfish 10th Session. A total of 8,369 Billfish have been tagged and released and a further 1,086 released without tags over the past three fishing seasons off the coast of East Africa. The African Billfish Foundation has also received 117 Billfish recapture reports durin g this time. A recent recapture of a Black Marlin off Mandapam, India expanded the recognised intertiol boundaries of Billfish caught off East Africa, with this being ABF’s first billfish recapture off India. In the coming season the ABF, in collaboration with Kenyan sport fishing anglers, hope to compliment the existing data from the conventiol tagging programme with the deployment of 5 satellite tags in Marlin. These tags should help yield a greater insight into the movements of Marlin caught in this area. This report reviews data from the year 2000 including data obtained over the last two years, and Tanzanian recaptures. Developments in local education, tagging zone expansion and data collection are addressed. Highlighted within the report are the challenges faced in the conservation and magement of the billfish species in East African waters, with a focus on the artisal fishery. Limitations to recapture data collection are discussed with suggested solutions. As a conclusion the pa per reiterates the different ways to address the threats facing the billfish species. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
Sustainability in action
2020The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Book (series)Technical studyLes montagnes et le droit - tendances émergentes 2002Le droit de la montagne demeure embryonnaire. La plupart des pays ne se sont pas encore dotés de lois spécifiques aux montagnes,se contentant de recourir, aux fins de leur protection et développement, aux lois sectorielles existantes. Toutefois, quelques pays comme la Fédération de Russie (République d'Ossétie-Alanie du Nord), la France, la Géorgie, l'Italie, la Suisse et l'Ukraine, ont adopté des lois traitant spécialment des montagnes, et d'autres Etats s'appretent à en faire autant. Ces effor ts convergents semblent indiquer que l'on s'achemine vers un affermissement progressif du droit de la montagne dans les années à venir. La présente publication tente de cerner les tendances émergentes de la législation relative aux montagnes. La première partie donne un apercu général sur les principaux instruments juridiques directement applicables aux montagnes, dans la sphère internationale puis à l'échelon national. La deuxième partie présente six brèves études de cas portant sur des pays où des dispositifs juridiques propres aux montagnes ont été mis en place.
