DocumentFactsheetEnhancing Regional Management of the Bay of Bengal Environment and its Fisheries 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Some 400 million people live in the Bay of Bengal area, and rely on it for food and livelihoods. Many subsist at or below the poverty level. Further degradation of the coastal and marine resources of the Bay is likely to have a severe impact on the quality of life and on economic growth prospects in the region. This Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) project, which was conducted alongside parallel projects supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), was the first phase of a larger intervention. The whole programme has the long-term goal of improving the lives of the coastal populations in the eight countries surrounding the Bay of Bengal -Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand -through enhanced regional management of the Bay of Bengal environment and its fisheries. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGracilaria Production and Utilization in the Bay of Bengal Region - BOBP/REP/45

No results found.This report summarizes the proceedings of an international seminar on Gracilaria production and utilization in the Bay of Bengal, held in Songkhla. Thailand. 23-27 October 1989. It also includes 23 papers presented at the seminar by participants from various countries. A bibliography on Gracilaria, which was prepared in connection with the seminar, is being published separately. The seminar was held to review current status of knowledge on the subject worldwide and to help point future work directions. The seminar and the report on it were jointly sponsored by two projects of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP)-the Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities Project and the Post-Harvest Fisheries Project. The Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities Project of the Bay of Bengal Programme began in 1987 for a duration of five years. It is funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority) and DANIDA (Danish International Development Authority). Its main aim is to develop, demons trate and promote technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of fisherfolk in seven countries bordering the Bay of Bengal-Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The Post-Harvest Fisheries Project is executed and funded by the ODA (Overseas Development Administration of the United Kingdom). -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLivestock's long shadow
environmental issues and options
2006This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feedcrop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air poullution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLooking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
Challenges and opportunities for the sector
2021Also available in:
No results found.While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach. -
Book (stand-alone)HandbookHandbook of fishery statistical standards 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The eleventh Session of the Coordinating Working Party on Atlantic Fishery Statistics (CWP), conscious of the fact that source and reference documents related to the concepts and definitions used in fishery statistics are widely dispersed and not always readily available, proposed in 1982 that a “Handbook of Fishery Statistics” should be brought together. The content of the present publication, renamed “CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards”, is largely based on the 1990 edition but in a ddition to extensive revisions concerning CWP memberships, and relevant modifications to commissions’ statistical work, has been expanded to cover descriptions of the existing major fishing areas in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, and presents also eight new Sections on fishery related subjects. The CWP Handbook now covers all the intended range of fishery statistical concepts, definitions and classifications.
