3.3 ANNEX 3: SPEECH BY MR. HASSANAI KONGKEO, NACA COORDINATOR AND THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE CONFERENCE

Honourable Minister of Agriculture of Thailand, Mr. Pongpol Adireksan; Your Excellencies; Distinguished Delegates; Colleagues in Fisheries Development:

It is my privilege to welcome you to this conference, which is one of the first major and global discussions on aquaculture development in this newly arrived third millennium. Conceiving, preparing for and organizing the conference has been a long process involving the cooperation of many people, groups, organizations and governments. This very spirit of cooperation has been the hallmark of the region’s push towards aquaculture development. It has paid off in one of the highest growth rates recorded in any food production sector. This conference is the sequel to the Kyoto Conference held nearly 25 years ago. Both owed their conception to the same person. And I would like to start a long list of acknowledgements with that person, Dr Ramu Pillay, the architect of Kyoto 1976 and - for lack of a better word - the mover of Bangkok 2000. After him are those that have played key responsibilities in the events that have led to this opening ceremony.

I will begin with the NACA leadership before and during 1990, including the Coordinator and the Governing Council, who placed in NACA’s first 5-year regional work programme an International Conference on Aquaculture. This idea suggested a huge undertaking for a young, newly independent NACA. But it was subsequently given form and substance by Dr Pillay, the NACA governments and the NACA secretariat with the inputs and assistance of many friends of NACA. The Governing Council - convinced of the importance to their countries and the urgency to the region of another strategy-setting regional, if not global exercise - strongly endorsed the activity and gave it high priority. The idea of a conference made a great leap towards reality when FAO - which, as we all know, was the organizer, along with the Government of Japan, of Kyoto 1976 - strongly supported the plan and offered to cooperate with NACA. The Department of Fisheries of the Government of Thailand generously came forward to host the event, including the Aquaculture and Seafood Fair.

A significant undertaking such as this conference and the trade fair must need a significant amount of support and inspiration to succeed. These came in generous doses from many individuals and organizations. It is with pleasure for me to acknowledge Patrick Sorgeloos, current president of the World Aquaculture Society, who was instrumental in bringing the support from the European Union. We appreciate that this was not alone a personal gesture of Patrick, but embodies that of the WAS, which he represents.

The Government of Australia, particularly the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries - Australia, assigned to the Conference Secretariat one of the most hardworking young persons. Along with his services, the department provided material contribution for other activities.

The strong social orientation of the objectives of the conference attracted the interest of a number of organizations with large social development components in their programs. One is the Canadian International Development Agency, which gave a grant to enable policy makers and planners from other developing regions to take part and share views with their Asian counterparts. I wish to thank Lennox Hinds for initiating this CIDA assistance and Brian Davy for providing a strong endorsement of NACA to the agency.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund very generously came forward to offer assistance for a number of talented and dedicated individuals with no big mother organization to support them. The name "Rockefeller" sounds formidable, but thanks to another friend of NACA who works with the institution and has devoted a substantial amount of his time and talent in working with the poor areas and threatened environments of Southeast Asia, the conference has benefited from its assistance to social development causes.

With an environmental cum social-economic development thrust, the conference gained the attention and support of a program in the Word Bank that has given collaborative assistance to a major program of NACA as well. We appreciate very much the assistance of Ron Zweig, who provided, through the World Bank - Netherlands Partnership Programme, the facility to bring a number of workers from several countries that are trying to find ways to make shrimp farming a more socially responsible activity. I also would like to mention, in the same regard, the various suggestions and assistance from another NACA friend who works with the World Wide Fund for Nature.

The office of the Conference Secretariat shares its premises with a regional project of the Danish Center for Environment and Development. The project director, Don Macintosh, and his staff have shared much of their time and resources in carrying out this conference. I wish to record my appreciation to DANCED, through its tropical coastal ecosystems program, for the innumerable material, professional and moral support given to the secretariat.

Innumerable also describes the help from NACA’s parent organization and now partner in this and other activities - the FAO. Our colleagues in the Fisheries Department of FAO in Rome, as well as the Regional Office in Asia Pacific here in Bangkok, have provided innumerable assistance and inspiration. It was extremely pleasant to work with them, helped a lot by the spirit of warmth, friendship and respect that prevails. It is with much gratitude that I acknowledge their cooperation.

Finally, I wish to express our gratitude for the many forms of assistance received from various other organizations, groups and persons. I would like to thank SEAFDEC, with whom we share our house and other useful resources, and its Aquaculture Department for their help in a number of activities; AIT, for the many professional and personal assistance extended to us; Kasetsart University for expert assistance in the management of the conference, the Lead Centres and several institutions in the NACA network for their technical assistance and advice; ICLARM - which despite the very difficult and time consuming task of transferring headquarters, have come with their topnotch staff headed by the Director General herself to serve in the panels; and the various projects assisted by DANIDA, particularly those of the Mekong River Commission, for supporting the participation of a number of their staff and project beneficiaries. As to the trade fair, we deeply appreciate the participation of business and industry in Thailand and other countries.

I reserve the final acknowledgements to the governments, and my most heartfelt thanks to the friends of NACA. They brought into the planning of this conference their vast and rich experience in national, regional and global aquaculture management and development.

To all of you and your organizations, I wish to record our gratitude. My friends, welcome to the Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium.

3.4 ANNEX 4: SPEECH BY MR. DONG QINGSONG, OFFICER IN CHARGE, FAO REGIONAL OFFICE FOR ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

H.E. Mr. Pongpol Adireksarn, Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Royal Thai Government; Mr. Dhammarong Prakobboon, Director-General of the Thai Department of Fisheries; Mr. Hassanai Kongkeo, NACA Co-ordinator and Secretary-General of the Conference; Distinguished Delegates; Ladies and Gentlemen:

First of all, allow me to convey the warm greetings and best wishes of FAO Director-General, Dr. Jacques Diouf, and on his behalf, I would like to welcome you all to the Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium.

All of us have shared the excitement in greeting the New Year all over the world. We are now entering into the Third Millennium, a new millennium for our progress and prosperity. To ensure continuous progress, however, the “Agenda for Action” is required in order to guide us into the right path - not to the end of the millennium, of course, but rather, to the end of this or the next decade for the benefit of our children - and this is the primary objective for the conference.

Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Fish contribute a significant amount of protein to the diets of people world-wide. Recent estimates of fish consumption by FAO indicate consumption as high as 175 kg per head in the Maldives to as low as one kg in Nepal, compared to the global average of 15 kg. While the stagnant growth in capture fisheries production in the last decade has been observed, aquaculture production continues to increase at a rapid rate. The production has more than tripled in only 15 years i.e., from 10 million tons in 1984 to more than 36 million in 1997. Aquaculture shares, therefore, will be one of the main sources of protein for our people, particularly in rural areas all over the world, in the years to come. It will support our efforts in alleviating global poverty and improving food security, as agreed at the World Food Summit in 1996.

In order to accelerate further development of aquaculture, FAO has worked closely with NACA to promote sustainable aquacultural practices and to develop strategies to facilitate its growth in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. To this end, FAO and NACA are proud to co-sponsor this conference, which is hosted by the Department of Fisheries of Thailand, with the objective of developing a global strategic plan for aquaculture development in the next decade. I sincerely hope that all delegates will have the opportunity to discuss and contribute toward this noble goal at this conference.

Before closing, I wish to express our appreciation for your presence at this conference. I wish to thank NACA and the Department of Fisheries for their excellent arrangements for the conference; and I wish you all a success in your deliberations and a happy sojourn in this beautiful City of Angels.

3.5 ANNEX 5: SPEECH BY MR. A.M. JAYASEKARA, CHAIRMAN, NACA GOVERNING COUNCIL

Distinguished Guest of Honour, Minister Pongpol Adireksan; Your Excellencies; Fellow Delegates:

It is a distinct privilege to take part in this conference and welcome you on behalf of the NACA Governing Council. Sri Lanka, which I represent in the council, is honoured by its current chairmanship of the council. In this capacity, I would like to thank FAO for its support and Cupertino as a partner in this endeavour, and the Government of Thailand for hosting the conference and the Aquaculture and Seafood Fair. The governments of NACA - and their private farming sectors - have enjoyed the tremendous benefits from a long-range strategic planning for aquaculture development. We were made aware of the importance of aquaculture in social and economic development. We were given the basic tools for improving the production technologies and production systems, as well as the capability for planning and managing the development of a young sector. We were made aware, and have justifiably harvested the rewards, of Cupertino. And, of no small significance to the members that have to cope hard with the task of feeding a growing population and improving the net-worth of a modest economy, we were given the ultimate reward of seeing increasing yields, productivity, and income.

In this regard, the governments had endorsed, with unity and without reservation, the plan for holding this conference on aquaculture, and pledged their usual commitment and support to its completion. As part of the preparations, the governments held a regional planning exercise in September of last year. The result was a first draft of a blueprint for Asian regional aquaculture development in this new century. The draft plan is to be enriched, guided and completed with the integration of the recommendations of this conference. The governments, therefore, have very high expectations from this conference. The draft regional plan for Asia reflects the governments’ continuing priorities for the basic development goals, including higher production, better nutrition, more jobs and better income for people and, on the whole, a better economy. To us, the tools to attain these need to be sharpened and made even more effective. Governments make no excuses for wanting bigger harvests to feed people and better products and prices for them to earn more. Having said this, governments are also keenly aware that a bigger harvest should not come at the expense of a ruined environment and an impoverished resource-base, and that the harvest should be shared equitably by those responsible for producing it. The Kyoto Strategy for Aquaculture Development has shown that a good dose of science spread around economically and efficiently though regional Cupertino can go a long way towards attaining huge harvests of cultured fish. This conference - from the governments’ standpoint - should now provide the strategy for a global Cupertino in sustaining the gains from Kyoto 1976 and sustaining the environment. The lessons from the past 24 years are there for the learning, and this conference should provide the opportunity for every one here to pool experiences and learn from this pool, which is made rich by the tremendous breadth in experience and depth of talent of the participation in this conference.

I would like to end by reiterating the words of gratitude expressed by the Secretary General of the conference and NACA Co-ordinator, as well as to commend him and his hardworking staff and associates for the excellent preparations.

I wish us all a productive and rewarding meeting.

3.6 ANNEX 6: SPEECH BY MR. DHAMMARONG PRAKOBBOON, DIRECTOR GENERAL FOR FISHERIES, THAILAND

Honourable Minister, Mr. Pongpol Adireksan; Honourable Minister, Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse of Sri Lanka; Honourable Vice Minister Dr. Nguyen Thang of Vietnam, Mr Dong Qingson of the FAO; Your Excellencies; Fellow Delegates; Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen:

As host of this conference, the staff of the Department of Fisheries and I would like to welcome you to the conference and to our country. This conference is very important to us, because it will be helpful in directing our research and development programs. As you know, Thailand depends much on aquaculture for food, employment and export. We have spent much effort and resources to develop the technologies. Now we are putting more to make it sustainable. We have shared our experience and technologies with many other countries - especially through the NACA system - and we have benefited from this Cupertino. We look forward to this conference providing guidelines to improve further our aquaculture so that it will fulfil the needs of our people, especially the poor.

To our honourable guest speaker, I am very pleased to report on behalf of the organisers that the conference has a wide participation. There are about 600 delegates representing almost 70 countries and more than 200 organisations, agencies, institutions and societies, including non-government, industry, business and farming groups. In short, all the important stakeholders are here for the conference.

The Aquaculture and Seafood Fair - which you are requested to inaugurate also this afternoon - has also a wide, varied and interesting offering. There are a total of 72 booths and stands set up by 51 companies, organisations and societies from 15 countries. The displays include a range of new products, better technologies, new materials, useful ideas and services for progressive and profitable aquaculture. A range of interesting ornamental species are on display. Many of these are products of the farmers of Thailand who have received technical assistance by the Ministry of Agriculture from the Fisheries Department. We also are displaying the various activities and publications of the Fisheries Department.

We are extremely honoured by your presence. We thank you for graciously consenting to set the tone for the conference with a keynote address.

I would like to end by thanking NACA and FAO for the opportunity to be their partner in organising this important event. Again, welcome to all of you; I look forward to a fruitful conference.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honour to introduce to you our distinguished guest speaker, Honourable Minister Pongpol Adireksan.

3.7 ANNEX 7: KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY MR. PONGPOL ADIREKSAN, MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND CO-OPERATIVES, THAILAND

Distinguished Delegates, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is my privilege to welcome you to the Kingdom of Thailand for this important conference on “Aquaculture in the Third Millennium”. I hope you had a pleasant journey to Bangkok and that your stay will be fruitful and memorable.

I should like to thank the organisers, the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific and the Food and Agriculture Organization, for the invitation to address this conference.

I am gratified to take part in this global meeting on aquaculture development. It deals with a subject that is woven into the social, cultural and economic fabrics of Asian societies. Fish is a staple food of our people and its capture and culture provide direct livelihood to hundreds of thousands of families along the coasts and around inland waters and ponds, and to millions more that are providing support to its sustained development. Its production and commerce bring good income to the people and the country. I know you will be provided the detailed information and updated figures on Thai aquaculture. You will know then that the culture of marine shrimp in this country is the largest in the world, supplying almost a third of the world’s production, earning for the national economy two billion dollars a year from its sale, and generating in employment and additional business opportunity a sum four times that figure.

The status that we have achieved as the foremost farmer of marine shrimp has, obviously, also come with costs. I have absolutely no doubt you know this. Many of you would be intimately familiar with the lessons - some good, others bad - that our efforts at producing this commodity can offer. We take pride in our achievements, but we will humbly submit to your advice. As one who represents a group collectively called “policy makers” - that useful class of people who takes the fall for every perceived mistake of government - I would like to assure you that the conclusions of, and directions offered by, this conference will be seriously and post-haste taken up by the government.

May I hasten to remind you, however, that the Kingdom’s aquaculture industry is - as with the rest of Asia - diverse. The 300,000 or more people farming our fresh waters produce nearly a third of a million tons of 15 types of fish and prawn from the 72 thousand hectares of inland freshwater bodies all over the country. Along the lengthy coasts, people are raising a variety of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants to augment their income from elsewhere, but mainly from fishing. This is an important point to remember in the face of the increasing number of people who would like to fish and the decreasing quantity of wild fish. Our freshwater aquaculture, especially that of a number of native fishes like snakehead and catfish, has been said to be one of the strongest and advanced among the developing countries of Asia. For this reason, the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific had chosen Thailand’s inland fisheries research centre as one of four lead aquaculture centres in its regional network.

Our scientists and technicians have served the network well. In the spirit of Cupertino among Asian governments, they have also learned a lot of useful technology and ideas from their peers in other countries. This give-and-take has served Asian economies well. We have benefited from our respective strengths, and strengthened our capacities even more by sharing resources and experiences and by pooling our scientific talents.

Thailand has much to thank all nations and concerned participants from this Cupertino and from various forms of assistance. From the prudent application of external assistance and local resources and expertise, our fish-farming industry has progressed to being considered as one of the pillars of the economy, providing fifteen percent of the total fish supply and forty percent of the value of that supply. However, we are acutely aware that many forms of activities have created serious impacts on our aquatic resources and environments, with fisheries being stretched to the limit of capacity and our fishers pushed hard to find enough fish. Environmental changes in coastal areas in particular adversely affect the coastal communities that rely on these resources, creating a vicious circle of habitat destruction and declining livelihood. The government is acutely aware of such problems and is giving a high priority to environmental rehabilitation, such as the Thai Seas Rehabilitation Project and various mangrove forest replanting schemes, even under what have been economically troubled times. We are also aware of the need for aquaculture to meet the looming shortfall between human demand for aquatic products and their supply. Fishing grounds are over-fished, so that we are looking at aquaculture as an essential means to make up for lost production from capture fisheries, and to provide employment and livelihood to people dependent on capture fisheries.

Thailand’s success in aquaculture and, for that matter, agriculture owes much to the vision and guidance of our King. His Majesty has shown a special interest in aquaculture. He has promoted the concept of integrated farming and water storage through ponds in small-scale farms. He introduced the tilapia, and his prowess in fish breeding led to the special “ruby fish” which is now being marketed in other countries. (I hope that our friends in CP will serve this fish to you during the conference). His well-known and well-studied project in Kung Krabaen on our eastern seaboard has also provided an excellent model of how mangroves and shrimp aquaculture can be integrated into one successful rural development program that benefits the local people. His many initiatives, invariably demonstrated by his own deeds, have provided the proper direction and examples to Thailand’s efforts at rural aquaculture development.

Thailand is also committed to regional and international Cupertino. We are proud to be the host of NACA and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre or SEAFDEC, two of the leading organisations in fisheries development Cupertino in the region, and the Asian Institute of Technology or AIT, a leading graduate school in sciences and technology with a strong academic and development program in the aquatic sciences and in resource management. Needless to say, we are also host to the regional office of FAO, which has provided many an initiative and technical guidance that have considerably improved Thailand’s fisheries and aquaculture. FAO and UNDP, in fact, gave birth to NACA. NACA and SEAFDEC, as well as AIT, were proposed and formed in fora that the Government of Thailand had taken active part, in tandem with other countries in this region. The spirit behind these organisations is mutual respect and equality among their members, and their driving force is the recognition of mutual benefits - in promoting prosperity and maintaining peace - derived from Cupertino. I have no doubt that the same spirit will pervade your deliberations.

I understand that this conference is a long overdue sequel to the first global Technical Conference on Aquaculture, held in Kyoto, Japan in 1976. It is indeed gratifying to see that the number of countries represented and the number of people attending far exceed those of Kyoto. The Kyoto Conference provided that impulse for world aquaculture development and, thanks to that first conference, there has been kindled a strong and sustained interest in aquaculture. This is indicated by the wider representation in this second conference, although one can also argue that it also reflects the increasing number and diversity of concerns

We know aquaculture affects the welfare of many families and communities. With the predicted stagnation in fisheries and the increase in populations, the health of aquaculture will impact on even more people more profoundly. Aquaculture is built into the socio-economic fabric of Asian societies. Therefore, we will have to continue to nurture the sector to the best of our ability to ensure that it remains viable and sustainable and gives the best returns to society. You need no reminding of the many challenges and pitfalls awaiting aquaculture development efforts, and of the huge task to be carried out to meet the challenges and surmount obstacles.

But I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the government for your efforts in and commitment to its development. This convergence of a wide range and deep pool of scientific, technical and managerial talent is reassuring. The importance given to this subject, I believe, is the reason many of you have travelled long distances to take part in this conference. I have been informed there are 70 countries and territories represented here and more than 600 delegates. It is a pleasure for me to see people from so many countries representing different sectors and interest groups coming together for this conference. This is important, because successful aquaculture development requires a thorough and wide involvement - and bold but reasonable action - in its science, management and politics. It also needs a concerted action among different government agencies, as well as the commitment and interest of the local people.

The Thai Government is keenly interested in the outcome of the conference. I would like to assure you that Thailand will give a high priority to participating in the follow-up activities. I expect the conference to provide an effective strategy and innovative and pragmatic ideas that will assist Thailand. All of us with a common interest in sustainable aquaculture should endeavour to make it contribute even more to the development of rural communities and provide a continuous source of aquatic food and material for our people. It is my privilege to interact with scientists and technical experts such as you; I find it a valuable and treasured experience.

However, the layman that I am, you will please bear with me if I request you to make your recommendations practical, workable and in terms that I might be able to understand.

I would like to thank NACA and FAO for joining hands with the Government of Thailand in organising this world conference. On behalf of the government, I wish to convey our appreciation to the organisations that have lent valuable support and inspiration.

I wish you an enjoyable and successful meeting and a pleasant stay in Thailand. It is my pleasure to now declare the conference and the Aquaculture and Seafood Fair open.

3.8 ANNEX 8: INTRODUCTION TO THE BANGKOK DECLARATION AND STRATEGY BY MR. GLENN HURRY, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES, AUSTRALIA; CO-CHAIRMAN OF THE TECHNICAL DRAFTING COMMITTEE

The Director General of Fisheries, Thailand; The Minister of Fisheries, Sri Lanka; Dr Ramu Pillay; Mr. Hassanai Kongkeo; Ladies and Gentlemen:

Coming from a country with a small but increasingly important aquaculture industry, it is a very great privilege to have been asked to co-chair with Chen Foo Yan, the Technical Drafting Committee and to present to you today the Bangkok Declaration on Aquaculture. With this Declaration are the key elements that countries can incorporate when developing strategies for aquaculture development for the next 20 years.

It has been a pleasure to work with Chen Foo Yan and the members of the Technical Drafting Committee, who were drawn from a diverse range of countries and backgrounds, and I thank them for their commitment and contribution. It has also been a pleasure to work with you, the participants of this conference, to bring together this Declaration. Bear with me while I find a way through this afternoon’s session.

The Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Co-operatives Fisheries in Thailand, in his opening speech on Sunday, left this conference with a request, that the outcomes be practical, workable and able to be understood by the people who have to implement them. This is a global conference with some 600 participants and, in a way, the request presented a reasonable challenge. However, over the last five days we have tried to reflect a Declaration and key elements for aquaculture strategies that provide a workable model for aquaculture development for the next 20 years, and one I trust is workable, flexible and understandable.

It will not meet everyone’s individual preferences for wording, text and comment. In trying to develop a strategy to move a sector such as aquaculture forward in a global sense over a 20-year period, it never will. To develop a broadly acceptable text from this conference requires a degree of compromise and conciliation from us all. What is important is that the key issues and broad strategic directions are incorporated to provide the framework within which individual countries can tailor their own plans for the development and integration of aquaculture.

A Declaration on Aquaculture for the next 20 years cannot be mediocre. It must be strong enough to address the key issues confronting the future of aquaculture. A weak approach that avoids issues will not give aquaculture a sustainable future. While we cannot walk away from the lessons of the past 25 years, nor can governments, civil organisations, regulators and other interest groups ignore the valuable contributions that aquaculture has made and will continue to make, to global food production and security, trade and national development. We may not like policy and enforceable regulation, but demonstrating transparency in decision making and being able to account for the good stewardship of the use of natural resources will be key elements of future aquaculture and fisheries management.

In presenting this Declaration and Strategy for discussion and adoption, I would suggest that we agree to the draft text, subject to any additional comments from the floor today or any lodged in writing with the Secretariat by the end of the conference. I will move through the text of the Declaration and the key issues of the Strategy, and then open the floor for comments. We do not have a lot of time, and we will not debate the issues raised. Comments will be noted by the rapporteurs and referred, along with any additional written comments, to the drafting committee for inclusion in the final document, where and if appropriate. Comments have already been received and taken into account from some 27 individuals and organisations.

The document is in five sections, and the largest section that represents the key elements for aquaculture strategies is long, but is needed to reflect the recommendations of the sessions. These have been reflected in the key elements, along with the written comments, and will be available in full along with the final document.

We requested on Wednesday that comments provided be conceptual and constructive, and I now repeat that request.

I am mindful that this has been a long week, however, before I start with the Declaration, let us return briefly to Kyoto in 1976. There are a number of people here today who were at that conference. I think history will record that the Kyoto Declaration on Aquaculture was one of the most important documents in the development of aquaculture. That aquaculture has grown and benefited economies and people in many global areas is a credit to the vision and commitment of those involved.

The following then, is the text of the Declaration and the key issues for future strategies.

In closing I have a number of people to thank. Dr Ramu Pillay, you were instrumental in Kyoto, and you have provided the spark, vision and encouragement again for us to come together here in Bangkok this week. Your contributions to aquaculture around the world have been enormous. On behalf of all of us, I would like to convey our thanks to you for your continued commitment and guidance.

Our thanks and gratitude to the Royal Government of Thailand and the Thailand Department of Fisheries. Your continued contribution to aquaculture by providing a home and continued support for a number of important regional organisations and for hosting this conference is greatly appreciated. To Hassanai Kongkeo and his hard working team at NACA, our many thanks. I know this has not been an easy task for a small team, but to each and everyone of you, thanks for your commitments and contribution. And finally, thanks to all of the institutions and agencies that provided the funding and staff to support this conference and made it such an enjoyable and productive week.

This then, ladies and gentlemen, is our Declaration and Strategy. It is now your time. This Declaration reflects our commitment to aquaculture over the next 20 years. As the guidance for the last 25 years has been provided from the vision of Kyoto, it is now time for you to provide the guidance and vision for the next 20 years. The next 20 years will, no doubt, see many challenges in food producing systems and in balancing the use of natural resources. It will also provide many benefits from improvements in communication, science and technology. I would ask all those who are involved in, and benefit from, aquaculture that you embrace this Declaration and take it forward and importantly, that you do so with the commitment and courage to do and say what is right and necessary to ensure that aquaculture fulfils its potential.

For at the end of the day it will be your courage, your flexibility, your commitment and your integrity, and not self interest or self promotion that will make the vision of this, “The Bangkok Declaration on Aquaculture,” a reality.

Thank you.

3.10 ANNEX 10: BANGKOK DECLARATION AND STRATEGY FOR AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT BEYOND 2000

1. PREAMBLE

The first international Conference on Aquaculture organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) was held in Kyoto, Japan in 1976. The Conference adopted the “Kyoto Declaration on Aquaculture.”

In February 2000, some 540 participants from 66 countries participated in the “Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium” in Bangkok, Thailand. This Conference was organised by the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) and the FAO and hosted by the Government of Thailand.

Throughout 1999, NACA and the FAO facilitated the preparation of reviews on aquaculture developments in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, the countries of the former USSR, the Near East, and the Pacific Island nations and held expert meetings to consider trends in aquaculture development. Thematic Reviews on various aspects of aquaculture were also conducted. Participants to the Bangkok Conference were informed of the findings and conclusions of these activities.

Against this background, the Conference participants discussed strategies for the development of aquaculture for the next two decades, in the light of the future economic, social and environmental issues and advances in aquaculture technologies.

Based on these deliberations, the participants to the Conference adopted the following Declaration.

2. THE DECLARATION

We, the participants to the Conference on Aquaculture in the Third Millennium, Bangkok 2000, recognise that:

2.1 during the past three decades aquaculture has become the fastest growing food-producing sector and is an increasingly important contributor to national economic development, the global food supply and food security;

2.2 aquaculture consists of a broad spectrum of users, systems, practices and species, operating through a continuum ranging from backyard household ponds to large-scale industrial systems;

2.3 the per caput supply of food fish from capture fisheries is likely to decline with population increase;

2.4 a great proportion of aquaculture production comes from developing countries, where aquaculture will continue to contribute to peoples’ livelihoods, food security, poverty alleviation, income generation, employment and trade;

2.5 there has been a significant increase in commercial and industrial aquaculture, both in developed and developing countries, that has contributed to food supply, export income and trade;

2.6 globally, aquaculture is at varying stages of development and will require different strategies for growth;

2.7 the potential of aquaculture to contribute to food production has not yet been realised across all continents;

2.8 aquaculture complements other food production systems, and integrated aquaculture can add value to the current use of on-farm resources;

2.9 aquaculture can be an entry point for improving livelihoods, planning natural resource use and contributing to environmental enhancement;

2.10 responsible aquaculture practitioners are legitimate users of resources;

2.11 education and research will continue to make a significant contribution to the growth of aquaculture;

2.12 some poorly planned and managed aquaculture operations have resulted in negative impacts on ecosystems and communities;

2.13 aquaculture has also been negatively impacted by other unplanned activities;

2.14 the continued growth of aquaculture will occur through investment by the private and public sectors;

2.15 effective national institutional arrangements and capacity, policy, planning and regulatory frameworks in aquaculture and other relevant sectors are essential to support aquaculture development;

2.16 improving co-operation amongst stakeholders at national, regional and inter-regional levels is pivotal for further development of aquaculture;

2.17 the potential of aquaculture to contribute to human development and social empowerment cannot be fully realised without consistent, responsible policies and goals that encourage sustainable development;

and declare that:
2.18 the aquaculture sector should continue to be developed towards its full potential, making a net contribution to global food availability, household food security, economic growth, trade and improved living standards;

2.19 the practice of aquaculture should be pursued as an integral component of development, contributing towards sustainable livelihoods for poor sectors of the community, promoting human development and enhancing social well-being;

2.20 aquaculture policies and regulations should promote practical and economically viable farming and management practices that are environmentally responsible and socially acceptable;

2.21 national aquaculture development processes should be transparent and should take place within the framework of relevant national policies, regional and international agreements, treaties and conventions;

2.22 in pursuing development, States, the private sector, and other legitimate stakeholders should co-operate to promote the responsible growth of aquaculture;

2.23 strengthened regional and inter-regional co-operation should increase the efficiency and effectiveness of aquaculture development efforts; and

2.24 all parties formulating improved policies and implementing practices for aquaculture development should consider and where appropriate, build on the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.

The following contains the major strategy elements based on the Conference session recommendations. The detailed recommendations from the sessions are given in the Conference Report.

3. STRATEGY FOR AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT BEYOND 2000

States are encouraged to incorporate in their strategies for aquaculture development the key elements identified during this Conference.

The key elements are:

3.1 INVESTING IN PEOPLE THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Further investments in education and training are essential to build the knowledge, skills and attitude of all people involved in the sector. Human capacity development can be made more cost-effective and responsive to needs through:

3.2 INVESTING IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

There is a need to increase investment in aquaculture research, whilst making efficient use of research resources and building the capacity of research institutions to be more responsive to development requirements through such mechanisms as:

3.3 IMPROVING INFORMATION FLOW AND COMMUNICATION

Efficient management of the sector requires improved information flows at the national, regional and inter-regional levels which will avoid duplication of effort and save costs, while encouraging consistency in areas such as education and training, policy-making, planning and the application of rules and procedures.

Improved information flows will increase institutional capacities for dealing with emerging issues and can be achieved by:

The collection and dissemination of accurate and verifiable information on aquaculture may help to improve its public image and should be given attention.

3.4 IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY AND ALLEVIATING POVERTY

Enhancing food security and alleviating poverty are major and complementary global priorities. Aquaculture has a special role in achieving these objectives because, firstly, fish is a highly nutritious food that forms an essential, if not indispensable, part of the diet of a large proportion of the people in developing countries. Secondly, while aquaculture contributes to the livelihoods of poor farming households, particularly in areas of Asia where it is a traditional farming practice, there is a huge, unfulfilled potential in most countries, as aquaculture is a relatively recent and underdeveloped sector as compared to agriculture and animal husbandry. Aquaculture could improve food security, provide entry points and contribute to sustainable livelihoods for the poor through:

3.5 IMPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

There is a need to develop and adopt policies and practices that ensure environmental sustainability, including environmentally sound technologies and resource efficient farming systems, and integration of aquafarms into coastal area and inland watershed management plans. Improvements in environmental sustainability can be achieved through:

3.6 INTEGRATING AQUACULTURE INTO RURAL DEVELOPMENT

With the goal of increasing the impact of aquaculture on rural development and poverty alleviation, strategies are required to put people as the focal point for planning and development for such programmes and to integrate aquaculture into overall rural development programmes. In essence, this can be achieved through:

3.7 INVESTING IN AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT

Future investment in aquaculture should be made with long-term strategies in mind to ensure sustainability. Private sector investments make the biggest contribution to aquaculture development, but adequate public sector finance for capacity building, institutional development and infrastructure, is indispensable for society to reap the full benefits of a well managed and efficient aquaculture sector.

Sound investment strategies should include:

International development assistance is becoming increasingly directed towards poverty alleviation and needs to adhere to basic principles of social equity, including gender equity, environmental sustainability, technical feasibility, economic viability and good governance. The level of risk is important when supporting initiatives to address poverty alleviation.

To make efficient use of international donor resources, a programme approach to multi-sectoral development should be applied under which donors can more effectively co-operate and collaborate with each other. Ultimately, this should occur within comprehensive planning and development frameworks. There is thus a need for donors to adopt more cohesive approaches and procedures.

3.8 STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

One of the key issues for the growth of aquaculture will be the ability of countries and organisations to strengthen their institutional capacity to establish and implement policy and regulatory frameworks that are both transparent and enforceable. Incentives, especially economic incentives, deserve to be given more attention in the planning and management of aquaculture development.

Institutional capacity should be made more effective and strengthened through:

3.9 APPLYING INNOVATIONS IN AQUACULTURE

The technologies for sustainable aquaculture development should provide a varied and adaptable “tool box” from which people can select and design the system which most effectively meets their needs and best fits the opportunities and constraints of the local environment. The delivery of such techniques requires efficient communication networks, reliable data on the merits and drawbacks of the various approaches, and help with the decision making process through which people choose their production systems and species.

As we move into the next two decades, water and land for aquaculture will become critical issues. New opportunities for aquaculture development will also emerge through improvements in science and technology for aquaculture systems.

The potential areas for further consideration include:

3.10 IMPROVING CULTURE-BASED FISHERIES AND ENHANCEMENTS

Fisheries enhancements in inland and coastal waters include culture-based fisheries and habitat modifications in common pool aquatic resources, which require minimal food and energy inputs. These practices therefore provide important opportunities for resource poor sections of the population to benefit from relevant aquaculture technologies and permit efficient use of under-utilised, new or degraded resources. Culture-based fisheries in particular have considerable potential for increasing fish supplies from both freshwater and marine fisheries and generating income in rural inland and coastal areas.

The full potential of enhancements and culture-based fisheries could be achieved by:

3.11 MANAGING AQUATIC ANIMAL HEALTH

Disease is currently an important constraint to aquaculture growth which has impacted both socio-economic development and rural livelihoods in some countries. Addressing aquatic animal health issues has, therefore, become an urgent requirement for sustaining growth of aquaculture, especially through pro-active programmes. Harmonising health protection approaches and measures and effective co-operation at national, regional and inter-regional levels are needed to maximise the effectiveness of limited resources.

This can be achieved through:

3.12 IMPROVING NUTRITION IN AQUACULTURE

Nutrition and feeding strategies play a central and essential role in the sustainable development of the aquaculture sector. Feed development will need to give increased emphasis on efficient use of resources and reduction of feed waste and nutrient discharge. Fishmeal reduction in diets will be important to reduce feed costs and avoid competition with other users.

These can be achieved through:

3.13 APPLYING GENETICS TO AQUACULTURE

Genetics has an important role to play in increasing productivity and sustainability in aquaculture through higher survival, increased turnover rate, better use of resources, reduced production costs and environmental protection. This will require resources, but the benefits in both the short and long term should justify these efforts.

There are many elements and practices of genetics that may be considered for aquaculture. Recognising that aquaculture has not benefited as much as terrestrial animal husbandry from the adoption of best practices such as selective breeding and stock improvement programmes, high priority should be given to the application of genetics in aquaculture. The interventions include:

3.14 APPLYING BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology as a science has the potential to impact on all food production sectors. In the future the aquaculture sector will confront the issue of biotechnology through:

3.15 IMPROVING FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY

As consumer awareness increases, aquaculture producers, suppliers and processors will need to improve the quality of products and enhance product safety and nutritional value. The incentives for this will be potentially higher prices, lower insurance rates and increased consumer demand.

This can be achieved through:

3.16 PROMOTING MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND TRADE

A focus on market development and trade will increase demand, add value and increase returns for aquaculture products. This will require developing marketing and promotional strategies for aquaculture products and understanding consumer requirements and changing market demands.

These goals can be achieved through:

3.17 SUPPORTING STRONG REGIONAL AND INTER-REGIONAL CO-OPERATION

Over the years, regional and inter-regional co-operation has brought considerable benefits to aquaculture development through dissemination of knowledge and expertise. In an era of globalisation, further strengthening of this co-operation at all levels will ensure increased benefits for sectoral development and sustainability.

This could be achieved through:

The Conference noted there are issues relevant to aquaculture development that require a strong global focus to be addressed and that this need might best be achieved by establishing a global intergovernmental forum within an appropriate existing international organisation, having sustainable aquaculture development as its primary focus, and with a mandate for discussion, decision and agreement on technical and policy matters.

4 IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 The Conference encourages States, the private sector and other concerned organisations to implement Strategies for Development of Aquaculture Beyond 2000.

4.2 The aquaculture sector has become considerably more diverse since the Kyoto Conference and has developed a broad range of stakeholders. This diversity provides considerable opportunity for productive co-operation.

4.3 The Conference recognises that the primary responsibilities for development and implementation of these strategies rest with States and their private sectors. The Conference recommends that States develop strategies through encouraging private sector development incorporating the key elements identified above.

4.4 The Conference further affirms that co-operative mechanisms among countries provide an excellent opportunity to co-ordinate and support the development of aquaculture, through sharing of experiences, technical support, and allocation of responsibilities for the varied research, education and information exchange. The fostering of co-operation among developing countries deserves special attention and support.

4.5 Furthermore, the Conference recommends that effective use of existing regional and inter-regional mechanisms be made, and that decision-makers seek to promote synergy and co-operation between existing organisations. Where effective regional inter-governmental organisations to promote co-operation in aquaculture development do not exist, such as in Africa and Latin America, building of such mechanisms, and sharing experiences with the existing regional networks, is recommended.

4.6 The Conference notes that there are considerable opportunities for enhanced regional and inter-regional co-operation among different partners including governments, non-governmental organisations, farmers organisations, regional and international organisations, development agencies, donors and lending agencies with a common interest in development through aquaculture.

4.7 In this regard, the Conference strongly recommends the development of an effective programme of regional and inter-regional co-operation to assist in implementation of the Strategies for Aquaculture Development Beyond 2000.
