Book excerpt: Forty participants from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates participated in the RECOFI Data Workshop Series: Minimum Data Reporting (MDR) regional database, RECOFI-FIRMS stocks and fisheries inventories and SDG Indicator 14.4.1: Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels. The workshop reviewed the MDR indicators and priority species list for endorsement, reviewed the presentation of pilot MDR RECOFI regional database and adopted an MDR data submission template. With regards to the RECOFI – FIRMS stocks and fisheries inventories, the workshop acknowledged the progress made so far and recommended that the Member Countries finalize and publish the RECOFI Fisheries inventory. The workshop also recognized the importance of publishing the work on the priority species presented at each meeting of the WGFM under the RECOFI - FIRMS collection as marine resource fact sheets. The workshop discussed the focal points list for MDR/FIRMS that will be circulated to Member Countries for finalisation and further discussed at the next meeting of the WGFM and approved at the next session of RECOFI. On SDG 14.4.1, the workshop agreed that the SDG 14.4.1 focal point list would be verified and validated and RECOFI Members’ reference list of stocks would be confirmed as either shared, transboundary and national, and communicate any issues with the outcomes.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains the report of the FAO/RECOFI Regional Workshop to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, which was held in Muscat, Oman, from 30 March to 2 April 2009. The objective of the Workshop was to develop national capacity and promote regional coordination so that countries would be better placed to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities, including through the development and implementation of relevant international fisheries instruments, taking appropriate measures at regional level and elaborating national plans of action to combat IUU fishing (NPOAs-IUU). The Workshop addressed: the nature, scope and impacts of IUU fishing; the international policy and framework to combat IUU fishing; the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing; FAO Fisheries Technical Guidelines No. 9 and the development and role of NPOAs-IUU; port State measures to combat IUU fishing; the role of the flag State in combating IUU fishing; the state of fishery legislation in RECOFI Members and regional cooperation to defeat IUU fishing through regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements and regional plans of action to combat IUU fishing. Working groups were formed to enhance the participatory nature of the Workshop and as a means of engendering broader and deeper discussion on concepts and issues relating to IUU fishing. Participants considered a list of IUU fishing issues that had been distilled from discussion in the Workshop. For each issue they were requested to identify an appropriate tool for overcoming the constraint or problem, action to be taken and expected results for small-scale and industrial-scale fisheries at the national and regional levels. The final session of the Workshop entitled "Brainstorming: looking ahead - national, regional and international follow-up to the Workshop" sought to identify outcomes that could be addressed further by the RECOFI Working Group on Fisheries Management. Funding and support for the Workshop were provided by the FAO Regular Programme, RECOFI and the Governments of Oman and Sweden.
Download or read book The IMLI Treatise On Global Ocean Governance written by David Joseph Attard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) remains the cornerstone of global ocean governance. However, it lacks effective provisions or mechanisms to ensure that all ocean space and related problems are dealt with holistically. With seemingly no opportunity for revision due to the Conventions burdensome amendment provisions, complementary mechanisms dealing with such aspects of global ocean governance including maritime transport, fisheries, and marine environmental sustainability, have been developed under the aegis of the United Nations and other relevant international organizations. This approach is inherently fragmented and unable to achieve sustainable global ocean governance. In light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 14, the IMLI Treatise proposes a new paradigm on the basis of integrated and cross-sectoral approach in order to realise a more effective and sustainable governance regime for the oceans. This volume focuses on the role of the UN Specialized Agencies towards the development of effective and sustainable ocean governance by looking at the more elaborate mechanisms they developed in order to achieve the desired objectives laid down in UNCLOS. From FAO to UNODC, the volume examines how they ensure sustainable development and how much coordination exists among them.
