PREFACE

This document is the report of the eighth meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Project for Small-Scale Fisheries Development of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The meeting was hosted by the Government of Bangladesh and was held in Dhaka from January 16-19, 1984.

The report records the deliberations and conclusions of the meeting and was approved by the committee.

The report includes a summary of progress made by the project in 1983, the fifth year of operation. It also presents suggestions for a BOBP beyond 1985. The report therefore serves as a source of reference to officials of fisheries agencies of the countries concerned and to donor agencies. It may also interest other institutions and individuals engaged in small-scale fisheries development, particularly in the Bay of Bengal region.

“Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal”, GCP/RAS/040/SWE, is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Five countries are members - Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Its aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and to increase the supply of fish from the small sector in the member countries.

The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives of the five member-countries plus representatives of FAO and SIDA. The committee meets once a year. Earlier meetings were held in Colombo (1976), Madras (1977), Chittagong (1978), Phuket (1979), Penang (1980), Colombo (1981), and New Delhi (1983).
