Synopsis (short abstract) Although fisheries play an important role in economic development and food security in the Bahamas, the lack of proper fisheries sector policies, planning frameworks and outdated legislation have hindered the sustainable utilization and management of fisheries and aquaculture resources. The project aimed to build institutional capacities in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors by developing management, strategy and planning policies and frameworks and support the establishment of a functional F isheries Management Information System (FISMIS). Overall, the project enhanced commitment towards sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development in the Bahamas.

    Renforcement des pêches et de l’aquaculture aux Bahamas - TCP/BHA/3501 2017
    Also available in:
    La production aquacole (pisciculture) au Bangladesh qui a enregistré une augmentation de près de 200 pour cent entre 2001 et 2015, atteint maintenant un peu plus de deux millions de tonnes. La durabilité d’une expansion accrue dépendra de l’obtention de semences et d’aliments de haute qualité qui seront produits, distribués et utilisés de manière efficace, socialement équitable et respectueuse de l’environnement. Le projet a permis de renforcer la qualité des semences en lançant un programme d’é levage sélectif devant produire des reproducteurs améliorés et en élaborant de meilleures directives relatives à la gestion des écloseries. La qualité des aliments a été renforcée par la mise en place de systèmes de surveillance garantissant que les agriculteurs aient accès à des aliments de haute qualité et non frelatés.

    Fortalecimiento de la pesca y la acuicultura en las Bahamas - TCP/BHA/3501 2017
    Also available in:
    Si bien la pesca desempeña una función importante en el desarrollo económico y la seguridad alimentaria de las Bahamas, la falta de políticas adecuadas, marcos de planificación y una legislación actualizada del sector pesquero han impedido la ordenación y la utilización sostenibles de los recursos pesqueros y acuícolas. La finalidad del proyecto era fomentar la capacidad institucional de los sectores pesquero y acuícola mediante el desarrollo de políticas y marcos de ordenación, estrategia y pla nificación, así como el apoyo al establecimiento de un Sistema de Información para la Ordenación Pesquera (FISMIS por sus siglas en inglés) operativo. En general, mediante el proyecto se fomentó el compromiso hacia el desarrollo sostenible de la pesca y la acuicultura en las Bahamas.

    Rebuilding Fisheries Livelihoods in Abaco and Grand Bahama Islands Following Hurricane Dorian - TCP/BHA/3703 2022

    No results found.
    The northernmost islands of the Bahamas (Grand Bahama and Abaco) are regularly exposed to hurricanes The islands are of low elevation, rendering the communities vulnerable to flooding caused by the storm surges associated with storms and hurricanes Although the communities prepare themselves each year for the storm season, the consequences of these hurricanes for the livelihoods of the population and the economy of the islands are significant A large part of the local population depends on fisheries for its livelihood, and natural disasters such as hurricanes and tropical storms cause large scale and prolonged instability Hurricane Dorian impacted Grand Bahama and Abaco from 1 to 3 September 2019 for approximately 68 hours The category 5 hurricane devastated Abaco, Grand Bahama and the surrounding Cays, with the southern eye wall remaining “ for around 36 hours over Grand Bahama At the peak of the storm, sustained winds reached 298 km/h with gusts of up to 354 km/h Estimated rainfall was 305 381 mm/day and the storm surge was estimated to be as high as 5 5 7 m above sea level At least 13 000 homes and many other buildings, roads and structures were destroyed, mainly by strong wind and flood as a result of the storm surge The fishery sector is of critical importance for the two islands as it produces roughly 40 percent of the total Bahamian fishery production for export.
