DocumentOther documentLicencing and Registration of small artisanal fishing vessels in the United Republic of Tanzania 2014
Also available in:
Fish are of fundamental importance to the social and economic wellbeing of the inhabitants of Tanzania. The small-scale fishery of Tanzania is one of the important economic sub sectors of the economy that makes valuable economic contribution to the coastal communities and provides rich protein food, employment, income thus contribute to their livelihood for Tanzanians, however there is growing concern of unregulated fishing in Tanzania. An initial survey of the financial support provided by the LGAs to the District Fisheries Officers (DFOs) suggested that while the DFO operational expenses are included in the annual Local Government Authorities (LGA) operational budgets, the funding was rarely forthcoming. Indeed, in 2013 only 8 – 53 percent of the proposed annual budgets that were initially allocated to fisheries management were provided to the DFOs Currently, licenses are valid for a calendar year irrespective of when in the year they were issued. Thus, all fishing licenses expire on 31st December, and they need to be renewed by 1st January. Historically, a grace period of three months has been given to the fishers (January to March) in which the vessel owners are allowed to license their vessels without being fined for not being in possession of a valid license. The DFOs usually go to the villages in December to inform the BMUs or Village Committees that the vessels and fishers need to be licensed for the coming year. Having been informed of the need to renew licenses, the DFOs usually wait for the fisheries / vessel owners to come to their offices to buy their permits, or depending upon the financial resources available, they may visit the landing sites to actively solicit license fees. -
ProjectFactsheetAppui à la mise en œuvre de la feuille de route pour l'élimination du travail des enfants dans l'agriculture dans les régions de Segou et Sikasso - TCP/MLI/3704 2021

No results found.Le Mali est l’un des pays d’Afrique où le taux de travail des enfants est le plus élevé La dernière enquête nationale sur le travail des enfants réalisée en 2005 estime que plus de deux millions d’enfants sont économiquement actifs, dont plus de 65 pour cent sont impliqués dans des travaux dangereux, essentiellement dans le secteur agricole En 2011 le Mali a adopté une feuille de route pour l’élimination du travail des enfants dans l’agriculture, actualisée et complétée en 2015 et 2017 Toutefois, les avancées enregistrées dans sa mise en oeuvre de la feuille de route restent très faibles Le projet devait impulser une nouvelle dynamique, en contribuant au renforcement de la résilience des ménages ruraux pauvres et à la lutte contre la pauvreté rurale, pour favoriser la création d’un cadre propice à l’épanouissement de l’enfant rural. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportExperimental Culture of Seaweeds in Penang, Malaysia- BOBP/WP/52 1987
Also available in:
No results found.This paper reports on a one-year pilot project for seaweed culture centered at the Fisheries Research Institute at Glugor (GFRI) in Penang, Malaysia. The work was undertaken during a 12-month period in 1983-84. Following discussions between the Malaysian Department of Fisheries and the BOBP, an experimental seaweed culture project was decided on in 1982 with the following limited objectives: - to determine whether and which species of seaweed of the genus Grad/aria could be cultured -to de termine the most feasible methods of culture - to select some typical culture sites with suitable characteristics; and - to give on-the-job training to counterpart staff. The project’s long term objective was to establish an ongoing agarophyte seaweed production industry as an alternative means of employment for inshore fishermen of Malaysia. Implementation of the project on behalf of BOBP was entrusted to ARDP (Agronomic Research, Development and Production Inc., Honolulu, Hawii). The ARDP made available an expert consultant, Jack Fisher; while research facilities, staff and other counterpart support were extended by the Fisheries Research Institute, Glugor, Penang. (The staff included Ms. Faazas Latif, Mr. Sulkhifli Talik, Mr. Chan Seng Mei and Mr. Samad Mohamad). The small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) provided a part of the funds, and also monitored and reviewed the projec’ This paper discusses project rationale and effort on seaweed cult ure sites and species farm production technologies, the methods and materials used, the conduct of seaweed farming experiments and their results.
