    This publication is the first of the Innovation in Practice case-studies series produced by the SWM Programme, including technical, social, legal and institutional innovations. The first case study focuses on the partners (FAO, WCS, CIFOR-ICRAF and CIRAD) development and testing of innovative no-tech or low-tech games. Each needed to be simple and relatively quick to play, require only locally available and low cost materials, and be appropriate for players with low levels of literacy and numeracy, with little or no experience with multiplayer and role-playing games. These games can be played without technology, but they do not preclude the use of smart phones or laptop computers to capture and analyze the outcomes generated by the players. Role-playing games are fun, engaging and valuable for social learning where communities can devise strategies and learn to avoid undesired outcomes.This first case study is going to walk you through the different games developed and played in the different sites, unrevelling the importance of communities to take part in those and lessons learnt.

    The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprises 40 percent of the earth’s surface, it covers 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Program (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring various stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Deep-Sea project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, was of great assistance to newly-formed regional fisheries management organization and arrangements (RFMO/As), as well as some long-standing regional fisheries. The project showed positive results in safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems, strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, mitigating bycatch mortality trends, and building awareness of cross-sectoral aspects in effective governance of ABNJ. Through its cooperation with RFMOs, the project has, to some extent, contributed to minimize the negative impacts of bycatch. Results achieved should be capitalized on and upscaled in a second phase.
