At the 8th Session of the IOFC Committee for the Development and Management of Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal (BOBC), held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in April 1993, the Members, concerned with the inadequacy of the follow-up in the region to UNCED in the fisheries sector, recommended that the Bay of Bengal Programme of the FAO (BOBP), through its Advisory Committee, should be requested to establish a regional BOBC Subgroup to closely investigate the prospects of preparing a consolidated research proposal for donor funding. At the 17th Meeting of the Advisory Committee of the BOBP, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in April 1993, it was recommended that, subject to the concurrence of the donors, unspent funds ofthe main project of the BOBP would be used to support the BOBC Subgroup. The BOBP organized a consultation in Madras, India, in February 1994, which brought together representatives from India(representing the South Asian Membersof BOBP), Malaysia (representing the Southeast Asian Members of BOBP), Maldives, Thailand, and of SEAFDEC, NACA, FAO (HQs and BOBC) to define the terms of reference and the scope of work of the BOBC Subgroup, and to develop a project proposal for the establishment of the BOBC Subgroup for submission to the Advisory Committee of BOBP. |
