No results found.The fifth session of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) was held in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, from 28 to 29 October 2011. The Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) hosted the session at the venue of its sixty-fourth annual meeting. The SAG discussed the fisheries resource status in the Wider Caribbean Region, identified emerging and continuing issues of concern to fisheries stakeholders, and produced a set of research-related pri orities focusing on fisheries resource assessment and management, for consideration by the fourteenth session of WECAFC, which is scheduled to be held in Panama in February 2012. The SAG called for renewed attention from policy makers to the declining trend in fish catches of some important commercial fisheries species stocks including the valuable Caribbean spiny lobster and several important reef species and urges action in support of the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible F isheries. The SAG also drew the attention of WECAFC and its members to the following research priorities aimed at improving current fisheries resource assessment and management: comprehensive fisheries assessment; building capacity for research, assessment and management; aquaculture development and management; incorporating social, economic and livelihood considerations; impacts of climate change and variability on fisheries, and; governance of marine resources incorporating ecosystem approache s. The list of SAG recommendations for the attention of the Commission is included in the preface of the report. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Harmonized World Soil Database version 2.0 (HWSD v2.0) is a unique global soil inventory providing information on the morphological, chemical and physical properties of soils at approximately 1 km resolution. Its main objective is to be useful for modelers and to serve as a basis for prospective studies on agroecological zoning, food security and the impacts of climate change. HWSD v2.0 also serves an educational function, illustrating the geographical distribution of soils as well as their properties globally. HWSD v2.0 is easily accessible and user-friendly. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture
Doha, the State of Qatar, 24–28 October 2010
2011Also available in:
No results found.The Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture, held in Doha, the State of Qatar, from 24 to 28 October 2010, was attended by 21 delegates from seven Member countries of RECOFI (the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) and representatives from FAO. The workshop achieved three objectives: (i) it created awarenes s and initiated capacity building through a technical seminar on basic concepts and emerging issues concerning spatial planning for marine capture fisheries and aquaculture; It received feedback from each RECOFI country presentation on the present status of the use of spatially-based planning tools, including case studies, present issues and challenges; (ii) it presented the results and analysis of the RECOFI regional spatial planning for marine capture fisheries and aquaculture questionnaire su rvey; and (iii) it prepared and finalized a Proposal for a Regional programme for Implementing a Strategy on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture in RECOFI Member countries based on the survey outcomes and workshop deliberation and brainstorming. The long-term vision of the regional strategy for implementing spatial planning capacity in the RECOFI member countries is: To illustrate how spatial planning tools are one essential element to achieving sustainable clean, healt hy, safe, productive and biologically diverse marine seas in the RECOFI region, and how they allow for mariculture and marine fishery production activities to be maximized whilst at the same time taking into account the other users of the marine space. -

No results found.The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Rome, Italy, from 21 to 30 September 2010. The FAO Panel of Experts had met in Preparatory Sessions from 16 to 20 September. The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluat e possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of pesticide residues in foods. During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (use of good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a result of the use of the pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Core Asse ssment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible and appropriate, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the respective agencies and other interested parties.
