MeetingMeeting documentFinal Technical Report: Regional workshop to support the implementation of the Resolutions of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC). 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The Indian Ocean Tu Commission (IOTC) is an intergovernmental organisation mandated to mage tu and tu-like species in the Indian Ocean and adjacent seas. Its objective is to promote cooperation among its Members with a view to ensuring, through appropriate magement, the conservation and optimum utilisation of stocks and encouraging sustaible development of fisheries based on such stocks. Since 1998, the IOTC has adopted a series of conservation and magement measures at its Annual Session. As req uired by Article X of the IOTC Agreement, each Member of the Commission shall ensure that such action is taken, under its tiol legislation, including the imposition of adequate pelties for violations, as may be necessary to make effective the provisions of this Agreement and to implement conservation and magement measures which become binding on it. At the Fourteenth Session of the IOTC, held in March 2010 as well as in previous sessions of the Commission, a general conclusion of the Commission was with regard to the low level of implementation of IOTC Resolutions. In particular it was noted that in some of the Member States and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) the concerned personnel of the fisheries administrations and other stakeholders (e.g., vessels’ owners) still have limited awareness of the objectives of the Commission; the IOTC Resolutions and the country obligations. In this context, the IOTC Secretariat solicited, and was granted assistance by the ACP Fish II Progr amme to fund a regiol workshop to support the implementation of the Resolutions of the Indian Ocean Tu Commission. The objectives of the Workshop were to build the capacity of some IOTC Members countries to implement the decisions (Resolutions) of the Commission and to discuss and understand some of the difficulties that these countries are faced with in the process of implementing these decisions. The Workshop also discussed measures that would help improve their compliance level. The Workshop saw the participation from seven ACP Member States (Kenya, Mozambique, Sudan, Tanzania, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Comoros) plus one other non ACP State (Maldives), which are also IOTC Members. The Workshop provided the ideal opportunity for the technical staff of the beneficiary countries, who are involved in implementing the decisions of the Commission, to share their experiences and challenges. At the conclusion of the Workshop the participants made nine recommendations, which in their view w ill result in improved implementation of the IOTC resolutions and a more effective Commission. -

No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
ArticleJournal articleAllometric models for estimating above ground biomass of Bambusa tulda Roxb. and Melocanna baccifera (Roxb.) Kurz
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Allometric equations are used to estimate the biomass and carbon stock of forests. There is a dearth of species- specific allometric equations for bamboos growing in Bangladesh. Bambusa tulda and Melocanna baccifera are the two most common bamboo species of commercial importance in Bangladesh. This study reports allometric equations for estimating biomass of bamboo compartments (leaf, branches, and stem) and total above-ground biomass. Data was collected from natural bamboo forests of different locations of Khagrachhari district. A total of 50 bamboos (25 B. tulda and 25 M. baccifera) were sampled following the destructive method. Bamboo leaf, branch, and stem were measured for fresh weight in the field. Sub-samples were collected in sufficient amounts and processed in the laboratory for density and oven-dry weight to derive fresh to oven-dry weight ratio. Commonly used 10 candidate equations were tested using Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), diameter at base (D5), and height (H) as explanatory variables to find the best fitted allometric equation. In total, the study developed 60 models with 10 for each component of the two species. Applying the goodness-of-fit statistics, 4 best-fitted models were selected for estimating stem and total above-ground biomass (TAGB) of the two bamboo species. The best fit allometric biomass models for M. baccifera were, Ys = 0.398*DBH1.542 and Yt = 0.627*DBH1.382, where, Ys = stem biomass and Yt = total above-ground biomass. On the other hand, best fit allometric biomass models for B. tulda were, Ys = 0.041*DBH1.0658*H1.2311, and Yt = 0.235*D5 1.867, where, D5 is diameter at the base (5 cm above the ground). The relationship between the biomass and dendrometric variables in the form of best-fitted models was statistically significant at p < 0.05 levels. The allometric models developed by this study will be useful for better estimation of biomass and sequestered carbon in the plain land homestead forests of Bangladesh.
