    Report of the Fourth Session of the Committee on Aquaculture. Alexandria, Egypt, 7-9 June 2004 / Rapport de la quatrime session du comit de l'aquaculture. Alexandrie, Egypte, 7-9 juin 2004 2004

    The fourth session of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ) met in Alexandria, Egypt, from 7 to 9 June 2004 and was attended by delegates from fifteen Members of the Commission. The session reviewed the status of aquaculture in the region and the activities of the networks linked to the Committee. Among the past activities the Committee acknowledeged that the updated regional aquaculture project proposal listed objectives that focused attent ion on activities considered of relevance to the region. However, it was recognized that regional differences existed making it difficult to prepare a single project that could be endorsed by all Members as well as attract donor support. It was further suggested to split priorities differentiating issues of a regional interest from priorities related specifically to a sub-region. The Committee approved the proposed workplan of the networks and recommended the reestablishement of the former CAQ n etwork on Environmental Aspects of Aquaculture Management in the Mediterranean (EAM) as well as to broading the scope of activities of the other networks. The Committee reviewed the expert report on the external evaluation of the CAQ and it networks and recommended that the CAQ should remain an independent entity and further reinforced. It was also agreed that the CAQ needed an adequate share of the GFCM autonomous budget to support its activities.

    Pelagic sargassum - A guide to current and potential uses in the Caribbean 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Pelagic sargassum - A guide to current and potential uses in the Caribbean has been developed as a resource for researchers, business entrepreneurs and policymakers by providing, under one cover, a comprehensive overview of the wide range of current uses of sargassum in the Caribbean and the challenges faced to date. It also provides insights into potential uses, based on examples and research from other parts of the world involving different sargassum species or other seaweeds. The first section of the guide sets the context in which it was developed and gives a brief general overview of pelagic sargassum, including its basic biology and chemical composition, as relevant to developing uses for sargassum biomass. Section 2 presents a range of potential uses of sargassum based on research and examples of uses of macroalgae (seaweeds) in general, and brown algae in particular, highlighting those using sargassum seaweed species where available. Section 3 provides a comprehensive summary of the challenges faced to date, the new knowledge that is helping to address these, and gaps that remain.

    Planning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998
    Also available in:
    The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital.
