ProjectImproved Data Methodology for Sustainable Management of Inland Fisheries Resources in the West Balkans - TCP/RER/3706 2022

No results found.The region of Central and Eastern Europe enjoys a wealth of freshwater resources in terms of lakes and rivers, with aquatic biodiversity that supports riparian communities through capture fisheries and sport fishing providing for domestic consumption, markets and eco tourism services The fisheries are mostly artisanal and small scale, with some limited commercial fleets on the larger lakes Recreational sport fishing is especially valuable in Europe and growing in value in the West Balkans region, as eco tourism creates additional employment, especially for women However, there exist several threats to freshwater biodiversity and inland fisheries, including lack of scientific information, inadequate data collection and freshwater management plans that undervalue or ignore the contribution of inland fisheries The inland fisheries of Europe are also faced by a number of unique problems caused by the many competing uses of the freshwater environment, some of which have detrimental and irreversible impacts on freshwater capture fisheries In addition, the freshwater rivers and lakes of Europe cross international boundaries and shared fisheries resources are often not managed in a collaborative way Finally, inland fisheries are undervalued by policy makers in terms of their contribution to livelihoods, recreation and food security Member countries in the West Balkans region have expressed concerns about the lack of tools for data collection, measurement and management of their inland fisheries This project addressed these concerns by assessing current practices in three countries of the region, and by developing good practices guidelines to assist policy makers and stakeholders to facilitate the sustainable management of freshwater fisheries in the region. -

No results found.This is a weighty report of formidable bulk and understandably so. Rarely has a Workshop in Bangladesh or anywhere else been so comprehensive in mandate or assembled such an array of fisheries expertise. Why was the workshop held? Quite simply, to give effect to Bangladesh's vision of fisheries development and management, set forth in its Perspective Development Plan for 1995-2010. That plan seeks to increase production of fish, manage and conserve fisheries resources for present and futur e generations, encourage private enterprise, increase overall economic growth, and generate employment and incomes, particularly for the rural poor and unemployed youth. These are comprehensive goals, and call for clear guidelines and strategies to address the problems and concerns of fisheries. The National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management, in Bangladesh, held 29 October-1 November, 1995, in Dhaka, sought to evolve such guidelines and strategies. The Worksh op's recommendations are wide-ranging. They relate to the management of inland fisheries, brackishwater and marine fisheries resources; the management needs of freshwater, marine and brackishwater aquaculture; integrated management of land and water; financing of all these sectors; the legal framework for fishing community development and management; the marketing of fish and fish products. In sum, the Workshop (sponsored jointly by the FAO through BOBP, and the ODA) left nothing uncovered or untouched. The report of this Workshop should therefore be a valuable document - for research and reference, and for the needs of everyone who is concerned with fisheries development and management in Bangladesh. -
