    This document contains the report of the Symposium on Impacts of Fishing on the Environment arranged by the ICES-FAO Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour (WGFTFB) held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 6 to 10 May 2013. The Symposium was attended by more than 130 fisheries experts from 25 countries, and it provided an opportunity for fishing technologists and others from ICES member countries to exchange knowledge and ideas with contemporaries from around the world, especially Asia. T he symposium comprised three one-day sessions: (i) low-impact and fuel-efficient fishing gear (LIFE); (ii) use of artificial light as a stimulus on fish behaviour in fish capture (LIGHT); and (iii) selectivity of trawls in multispecies/crustacean fisheries (SHRIMP). This report summarizes the presentations of the Symposium and concludes the main discussions. This report also summarizes presentations from the open session of the annual WGFTFB meeting.

    A regional approach to the implementation of the Rotterdam Convention (2007-2008) 2008

    FAO is committed to environmentally friendly agricultural production. In cooperation with its partners, the Organization has been working on developing tools and programmes to help countries manage pesticides more effectively and to move towards sustainable agriculture. The Rotterdam Convention is one of many concrete examples of FAO's commitment to helping its partners, particularly developing countries, achieve sustainable agricultural production and address the challenging problems associated with pesticide use. The first key objective of the Rotterdam Convention is to promote shared responsibility among its members in the international trade of hazardous chemicals, both pesticides and industrial chemicals. The second key objective is to contribute to the environmentally sound use of hazardous chemicals by facilitating information exchange among the parties concerned and by providing for a national decision-making process on their import and export. For the last few years, many co untries in Asia and the Pacific have made significant efforts to improve their national infrastructure for the management of pesticides and chemicals. The Convention has played a crucial role in assisting governments in coping with this task. This publication presents the experiences of various countries in this region in relation to the implementation of the Rotterdam Convention. The reports reflect the progress which has been made and the steps which remain to be undertaken to achieve the two key objectives of the Convention.
