ProjectImproving Sustainability of Marine Fisheries by Increasing Capacity to Preventi, Deter and Eliminate IUU Fishing - GCP/INT/413/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines national and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks and, as a consequence, inhibits progress towards achieving the goals of long-term sustainability, in particular Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14. In response to this phenomenon, a framework of international instruments has been developed in recent decades. Among these instruments, the FAO Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) is the first binding international agreement specifically targeting IUU fishing. Its objective is to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing by preventing vessels engaged in the practice from using ports and landing their catches. In this way, the PSMA reduces the incentive of such vessels to continue to operate, while also blocking fishery products derived from IUU fishing from reaching national and international markets. Despite strong political will at a range of levels, the introduction of effective measures to tackle IUU fishing has been slow throughout most regions and in many developing countries. The project was part of FAO’s Global Programmeto support the implementation of the PSMA and complementary international instruments to combat IUU fishing. -
ProjectEnhancing Coastal Livelihoods and Food Security in the Provinces of South Hamgyon and Kangwon in DPR Korea through Improved Marine Bivalve Aquaculture Practices - TCP/DRK/3706 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Bivalve production in the targeted areas increased overall (although the exact percentage increase had yet to be measured at the time of reporting), and 150 000 scallop seeds measuring between four and five mm were produced through the acquisition of improved technical skills The project design included three outputs Under the first output, improved bivalve culture systems were implemented in two targeted aquaculture cooperative demonstration farms, covering a coastal zone of 30 ha Output two was partially achieved Its primary focus was to introduce advanced post harvest management practices and value addition methods on the two targeted farms however, due to the COVID 19 related travel restrictions, field visits and consultations with international experts could not take place as originally planned That said, the international consultants produced three technical manuals (one on Pacific oyster farming, one on mussel farming and one on scallop hatchery seed production) that were provided to technical staff of the Ministry of Fisheries MoFi The MoFi then transmitted the procedures and protocols contained in the manuals to the Hongwon Mariculture Cooperative and Songdo Fisheries and Mariculture Cooperative The final output, which envisaged the training of 175 farmers and 25 fishery/aquaculture development planners on bivalve production, the operation and maintenance of culture units, harvest and post harvest management and value addition, was only partially achieved as well, owing to the travel restrictions The manuals are expected to serve as the basis for further training in these areas. -
ProjectFostering the Sustainability of Marine Fisheries in Central and Western Mediterranean Subregions through an Ecosystem Approach - GCP/INT/362/EC (Baby 01) 2022
Also available in:
Fisheries management in the Mediterranean is complex for several reasons, including, among others, fishing overcapacity; different levels of information development, in particular for biological and socio economic data that were neither readily available nor standardized; insufficient and weak legal aspects and measures for monitoring, surveillance and control activities; and inadequate institutional frameworks for subregional fisheries management. Against this background, Phase II of the CopeMed project (the first phase was implemented from 1996 to 2005) sought to strengthen science based fisheries management through enhanced technical scientific capacities, and the promotion of scientific cooperation among participating countries in the central and western Mediterranean subregions . The participation of all stakeholders in the fisheries management process was not yet sufficient. Therefore, the current project, representing the tenth year of the second phase, aimed to strengthen regional cooperation, in support to the sustainable management of fisheries, in particular in three target countries, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia; as well as to consolidate and build on the achievements obtained so far.
