The goals of the Workshop were to facilitate a greater understanding of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries among all stakeholders involved in fisheries in the Pacific Islands; to foster steps towards the more effective impleme ntation of the Code in the region; to encourage fishery policy revisions reflecting the objectives and general principles of the Code and to encourage an inclusive approach to management whereby stakeholders are involved in the development and review processes and the implementation of measures rather than an exclusive process where stakeholders are largely excluded from the processes. In the course of its deliberations, the Workshop addressed the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and it s framework; legal considerations and issues relating to the Code; responsible fisheries management; responsible fishing operations; responsible aquaculture and inland fisheries; responsible post-harvest practices and trade and the integration of fisheries into coastal area management. In addition, there was a role-playing exercise concerning making responsible decisions about fisheries. To enhance the participatory nature of the Workshop, five Working Groups were formed. They focused on fisheri es management, fishing operations, aquaculture and inland fisheries development, postharvest practices and trade and the integration of fisheries into coastal area management. Each Working Group developed conclusions and recommendations. The Workshop endorsed several national, regional and global follow-up actions. The Workshop was funded by the FAO FishCode Programme through Project GCP/INT/823/JPN (SIDS: Responsible Fisheries for Small Island Developing States) and the FAO Regular Programme. -

No results found.The FAO/SPC Regional Scoping Workshop: Development of a Pacific Aquaculture Regional Cooperative Programme held from 11 to 14 October 2011 in Nadi, Fiji was convened to engage high level discussions between national governments and international development partner organizations on the need to provide more attention to aquaculture development to small island developing states including the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). Fifty five experts representing 17 PICTs, representati ves from the private sector, eight international and regional institutions, and SPC and FAO staff participated in this regional scoping workshop whose overall objective was to assess the needs and map out a coordinating strategy and actions for the development of aquaculture in the Pacific region. To this end, a Pacific Regional Aquaculture Strategy was drafted with a vision of a sustainable aquaculture sector that meets food security and livelihood requirements based on economically viable ente rprises supported by enabling governance arrangements. The overall outcomes of the strategy are envisioned to include: (1) successful, competitive and biosecure aquaculture enterprises, using and adapting proven technologies to meet local requirements (technical, social and environmental); (2) recognition of the actual and potential contributions of the aquaculture sector towards regional livelihoods and food security (in response to the pressures of population growth, depleted/overfished insh ore fisheries resources and climate change); and (3) framework for aquaculture development that builds cooperation among PICT government aquaculture institutions, national, regional and international agencies, farmer groups/associations, and other stakeholders. To meet these objectives, the strategy proposes six broad programme elements including biosecurity, capacity building, feasibility assessment, statistics and data, markets and trade and technology transfer and improvement. -

The related indicator is SDG Indicator 14.b.1, “Progress by countries in adopting and implementing a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small-scale fisheries”. The 32nd Session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) agreed that the data submitted as a result of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) survey could be applied by member states as a means to report on the SDG indicators. For SDG Indicator 14.b.1, specifically, variables were selected from three of the five CCRF survey questions relating to small-scale fisheries.
