The overall objective of the project is to reduce discards of fish captured by shrimp-trawlers, primarily by introducing technologies that reduce the catch of juvenile food-fish and other by-catch. -
Book (series)Report of the Workshop of National Coordinators of the UNEP/GEF/FAO Project on Reducing the Impact of Tropical Shrimp Trawling Fisheries on Living Marine Resources Through the Adoption of Environmentally Friendly Techniques and Practices.

No results found.To initiate the preparatory phase of a UNEP/GEF/FAO project aimed at reducing the impact of tropical shrimp trawling fisheries on living marine resources through the adoption of environmentally friendly techniques and practices a Workshop was organized by FAO at their Headquarters in Rome from 17 to 19 March 1999. This report summarizes the outcome of this Workshop which was attended by FAO staff and 12 National Coordinators. The National Coordinators from 12 counties: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Camer oon, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, had been appointed by their respective governments. The workshop reviewed the situation with regard to problems associated with shrimp exploitation as well as the multi-sectoral structure in place for consultation on such issues in each country. It was generally agreed that the present exploitation pattern for shrimp in most countries is non-sustainable, mainly because of capture of ju venile fish and overfishing. A priority issue, however, to be addressed and hopefully solved by such a project, is to reduce capture of juveniles of commercially important food fishes. It was recognized that any introduction of new environmentally friendly techniques and practices depends to a large extent on the acceptance by the fishing industry of any such devices, technologies or regulations. The participation of affected stakeholders should therefore be given priority in all the phases of p roject implementation. The workshop agreed on follow-up activities, which included preparation of detailed reports about the shrimp fisheries in each country, and venues for four regional workshops to be arranged in December 1999/January 2000. -
Book (stand-alone)Report of the Regional Workshop on Approaches to Reducing Shrimp Trawl Bycatch in the Western Indian Ocean. Mombasa, Kenya, 13-15 April 2003 2004

No results found.The wokshop was jointly organized by the FAO Fishery Industries Division, the Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) in Mombasa (Kenya) and the Oceanographic Research Institute in Durban (South Africa), and was hosted by KMFRI. Twenty-nine participants from five countries (Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa) attended the workshop. The participants represented national fisheries administrations, non-governmental organizations and scientific institutions. During the workshop, participants discussed existing bycatch policy and legislations, the state of bycatch knowledge and impacts of bycatch, as well as methods for reducing bycatch or improving bycatch utilization in their respective countries. The participants recommended the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in the region, to harmonize the data collection among the countries and the improved utilization of bycatch.
