Main Substantive Thrusts and Priorities
458. The FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and the International Plans of Action (IPOAs) promoted by FAO, together with other international fisheries instruments, support national efforts for the long-term sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture. Major Programme 2.3 contributes to, and facilitates the implementation of these major initiatives and provides assistance in the management, development, marketing and use of fisheries and aquaculture resources. Most of the activities are multi-disciplinary, often involving cross-sectoral cooperation with other programmes of the Organization, as well as with partners (national and international institutions, centres of excellence and the private sector).
459. Responsible and environment-friendly fisheries requires due attention to the maintenance of the productivity of all exploited ecosystems, with a focus on those particularly at risk, the rehabilitation of those already damaged, and the promotion of environmentally-sound and sustainable technologies. One dimension of this effort is the development and application of principles and guidelines for an eco-system approach to fisheries, including promotion of the concept with policy makers, lead administrators and the industry.
460. The Plan of Implementation adopted by the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in September 2002 recognised the highly important role of the CCRF and related instruments. It highlighted several priority areas, most of them already identified by the Committee on Fisheries (COFI): the development and implementation of the IPOAs on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing and on Fishing Capacity, as well as the implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries, restoration of depleted stocks and the establishment of representative networks of marine protected areas. Directly linked to the WSSD Plan of Implementation, is the growing demand from countries in such important fields as inter alia, policy advice, support to small-scale fisheries, the strengthening of regional fisheries bodies, national capacity building and institutional strengthening.
461. Many programme entities, in effect, are designed to contribute to sustainable increases in the food supply from fisheries, in particular aquaculture and inland fisheries, and the sustainable management of small-scale fisheries and fishing communities. Major Programme 2.3 will also promote the use of under-utilised resources and lower-value species; assist with national strategies for quality and safety in the handling and marketing of fish products; and support technologies to reduce discards and any negative impact on the environment from fishing activity. It will also address preparedness for emergencies to combat food insecurity by lessening their adverse impact on fisheries and aquaculture. In addition, where relevant, several entities address the enhancement of the contribution of women to the development of the fisheries sector and to safety issues in the industry.
462. Within the overall framework of the CCRF, policy-related activities include: assistance in the coordination and implementation of effective fisheries management; promotion of responsible Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture; the strengthening of regional fisheries bodies; policies to enhance both safe consumption and fair trade, including training to enhance Members' capacity to comply with the provisions of World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements; close cooperation with international instruments such as the Conventions on Biological Diversity (CBD) and International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES).
463. Finally, the major programme will continue to seek improved quality of, and access to information of strategic value for policy-makers, fisheries managers, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), funding institutions and the public at large. Following the completion of the Fisheries Global Information System (FIGIS) project, as a fully integrated, policy-oriented information resource base, emphasis will be directed towards building partnerships with regional fisheries bodies and national centres of excellence in a mutually beneficial collaboration of information exchange through FIGIS. Other major fisheries information products are: State of the World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) to keep policy makers informed of current issues and developments in the fisheries sector and the CD-ROM Atlas on World Fisheries and Aquaculture.
464. The established major thrusts have been maintained, while other emerging priority areas have been incorporated within the existing programme structure. It should be pointed out, however, that the WSSD Plan of Implementation implies a wide range of activities with firm deadlines, which cannot be fully accommodated, even within the proposed real growth (RG) budget level.
465. Proposed staffing changes include three new posts: one Senior Fisheries Resources Officer, to respond to growing demand for ecosystem management considerations in fisheries; one Regional Fishery Statistician to improve fishery statistics for the Asia and Pacific region; and one Regional Aquaculture Officer (in Latin America and the Caribbean) to fill the critical gap for sustainable development of aquaculture and inland fisheries in the Region.
466. This strengthening of expertise translates into higher resources for a number of entities under Programmes 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. Active support is to be provided to the Implementation of the CCRF and the IPOAs (234A1), to inland fisheries and poverty alleviation under technical project (232A2) and to CITES (232A4). Furthermore, additional resources (even under ZRG conditions) are provided to ensure the viability of the COFI Sub-committees on Aquaculture (232P1) and Fish Trade (233A5). Also benefiting from additional resources is work on aquaculture (234A5) and the reduction of discards (233A1).

467. This programme provides comprehensive information and statistics on fisheries and aquaculture to Members and the international community at large, in support of analysis, policy-making and planning. Following the completion of the FIGIS development project, as a fully integrated, policy-oriented information resource base, emphasis will be directed towards building mutually beneficial partnerships with regional fisheries bodies and national centres of excellence, for information exchange through FIGIS. The programme will further seek to improve access to existing fisheries information and statistics, and make available current information on the status and trends of fishery resources, the latter in partnership with regional fisheries bodies. It will pursue the development of norms and standards for collection and exchange of fisheries information and statistics; technical advice and assistance on information and statistics collection, processing and exchange programmes of Members and regional fisheries bodies. A major effort will be directed towards implementation of the Strategy for Improving Information on Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries, mainly effected through use of extra-budgetary funds.
468. Objective: increased awareness of key fisheries issues and trends and their inter-relationship with other aspects of integrated natural resource management; better informed public debate in support of sustainable management of fisheries resources at the national and international levels, based on improved international fishery information standards and quality.
Biennial Outputs
469. Objective: availability of comprehensive, standardised global fisheries information and statistics and wide use by governments and other stakeholders to promote awareness of key fisheries issues and trends, as well as serve policy formulation in the sector.
Biennial Outputs
470. Objective: access of Member Governments and the International Community to aquatic sciences and fisheries information and knowledge and to verified global fishery and aquaculture statistics for analyses of trends in the status of exploitation of aquatic living resources, of trends in the industries based on their exploitation and production, on contribution of fish and fishery products to food security as well as the contribution of fish to overall diets, particularly in terms of protein. Improved fishery statistics collection, processing, dissemination and utilisation in member countries. Improved quality of national, regional and global fishery statistics.
Biennial Outputs
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels |
The inability to establish a post of fishery statistician in the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) would hinder needed efforts to improve fishery statistics in the Asia and Pacific region, which remains a longstanding priority area, as it is the world's most important fish producing region. More generally, insufficient resource allocations under 231P1 could directly impact on the quality of FAO fishery statistics and hence accurate reporting to members on the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture. |
471. Extra-budgetary resources are expected from various donors for a project proposal entitled Improving Collection and Processing of Data and Information on the Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries. The latter is directly related to Programme Entity 231P1 – Provision of Fisheries Information and Statistics.

472. This programme provides comprehensive information on the identification, assessment and management of world marine and inland fisheries and aquaculture resources and their ecosystem. It develops knowledge bases on resources taxonomy and bio-ecology. It elaborates manuals and software for resources assessment and modelling, focussing on the needs of data-poor areas in the developing world. It plays a key role in monitoring of the state of world resources both in the marine, inland, and aquaculture sub-sectors. In so doing, it also contributes to the implementation of the Strategy for Improving Information on the Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries, and is deeply involved in a parallel effort in aquaculture. In close collaboration with other programmes, as well as with regional fisheries and aquaculture organizations, it supports the responsible development and management of the three sub-sectors through elaboration of information systems, normative documents, and direct advice to Members through the Field Programme.
473. Objective: enhanced awareness at national and international levels; promotion in national policies of the sustainable use of inland fisheries and aquaculture resources, as well as greater technical capacity of groups operating in the sector, such as civil society and producer organizations and NGOs, to manage resources according to these principles.
Biennial Outputs
474. Objective: improved capacity of developing countries at the local, national and regional levels to implement efficient practices for sustainable intensification of production systems for aquaculture and inland fisheries.
Biennial Outputs
475. Objective: national policy makers of developing countries, international and regional fisheries bodies, and other key stakeholders active in the development of the fisheries sector, will make use of a more reliable information base and improved tools for species identification and essential biological and ecological data of potentially exploited marine species.
Biennial Outputs
476. Objective: national planners and policy makers, international and regional bodies and key commercial concerns enabled to pursue policies and practices for sustainable use and exploitation of fisheries resources based on knowledge of underlying trends and understanding of environmental interactions.
Biennial Outputs
477. Objective: increased national capacity, particularly in developing countries, to identify and implement operational management strategies, policies and practices for fisheries that take into account local resource and environmental profiles and accurately reflect key stakeholder goals and preferences.
Biennial Outputs
478. Objective: improved national capacity to identify and pursue policies and management practices promoting sustainable development of inland fisheries, as well as enhanced regional and international coordination toward this goal.
Biennial Outputs
479. Objective: satisfy needs of governments, NGOs and the fishing industry for an authoritative and neutral source of advice in support of improved and more sustainable use of fishery resources.
Biennial Outputs
480. Objective: to assist the Members and other related public sectors through providing technical advice / backstopping and field project formulation / implementation in the field of aquaculture and inland fisheries.
Biennial Outputs
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels |
Insufficient resources would prevent FAO from adequately supporting inland fisheries and their role in poverty alleviation. They would also prevent the establishment of the much needed senior position in ecosystem based management, a field which following the successful Reykjavik Conference in 2001, requires substantial analytical capacity. Although additional resources would still be available for the newly established Sub-Committee on Aquaculture, this would not be sufficient to carry out all related activities, including in follow-up to conclusions. |
481. Several ongoing trust fund projects permit to extend the outreach of entity 232S1 – Advice on Marine Resources and Environmental Issues. The most important projects are: Scientific Cooperation to Support Responsible Fisheries in the Adriatic Sea (GCP/RER/010/ITA-Adriamed); Assessment and Monitoring of the Fishery Resources and the Ecosystems in the Straits of Sicily (GCP/RER/010/ITA –Module 2-MedSudMed); Scientific Basis for Ecosystem-Based Management in the Lesser Antilles (GCP/RLA/140/JPN); and Management of Tuna Fishing Capacity: Conservation and Socio-Economics (GCP/INT/851/JPN).

482. This programme supports improved fish production, utilization and trade within the framework of the CCRF. Emphasis is given to investigations to reduce negative environmental impacts of fishing operations, promotion of by-catch reduction technologies and increased utilisation for human consumption of under-exploited resources. These activities will reduce wastage in fisheries, support rebuilding of stocks and biodiversity. Assistance to the sustainable development of small-scale fisheries will contribute to food security and employment in coastal areas. The programme also supports building of national and regional capacity in fish inspection, quality assurance and value addition technology, as well as promoting fish consumption for nutritional and food security. For trade promotion, accent is placed on improving the access of developing countries to timely marketing information, analysis and forecasts and the organisation of trade events, in cooperation with INFONetwork (FAO-supported Fish Marketing Information Services), as well as building capacity of developing countries to meet their obligations under the WTO agreement and to improve their negotiating positions and skills.
483. Objective: improved national management practices, technologies and policy environment in support of the reduction of discards and adverse environmental impact from fisheries, as well as an enhanced international awareness and enriched debate on the importance of the issue.
Biennial Outputs
484. Objective: improved national and local capacities from both a management and technical perspective, and a regulatory environment that supports the efficient and sustainable management of small-scale fisheries, including in the aftermath of natural disasters.
Biennial Outputs
485. Objective: increased emphasis on and improved public and private management practices, policies and investment supporting harvesting, processing and marketing of under-utilised aquatic resources and low-value catches.
Biennial Outputs
486. Objective: improved national capacity and programmes, infrastructure and organisation for safety and quality assurance of fish products that comply with international trade and food standard agreements; increased consumption of fish oil, particularly by pregnant women.
Biennial Outputs
487. Objective: increased collaboration and exchange of information on key fisheries trade issues and an improved capacity of analysts, policy makers and negotiators of developing countries to identify and effectively pursue in international fora, trade opportunities that defend and promote their economic interests and enhance food security.
Biennial Outputs
488. Objective: improved skills will increase efficiency of fishing operations and improved handling, processing and marketing
Biennial Outputs
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels |
Although it has been possible to maintain the overall budget allocations above those in the PWB 2002-03, ZRG would curtail planned expanded activities related to small scale fisheries. Despite additional funds being available to support the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade, these would not be sufficient to carry out satisfactorily all related activities (analysis and follow-up). |
489. Extra-budgetary resources under programme 233 derive mainly from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded project entitled “Reduction of Environmental Impact from Tropical Shrimp Trawling, through the Introduction of By-catch Reduction Technologies and Change of Management”. Activities undertaken by this project are closely linked to entity 233A1 – Reduction of Discards and Environmental Impact from Fisheries. Extra-budgetary contributions will also be obtained for the FAO “Umbrella II Capacity Building Programme for Fisheries and Multi-lateral Trade Negotiations in West Africa”.

490. This programme addresses the social and economic aspects of capture fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the analysis of policies and management strategies for the fishery and aquaculture sectors. It involves economic interpretation of global information on production, technology development, status of aquatic resources, preservation, processing, trade and consumption. The influence of international economic and social developments as well as the natural factors affecting fisheries resources are analysed. The Programme includes medium and long-term projections of demand and supply of fish and fish products, as well as the maintenance of databases on fishery management and essential fishery issues. Policies and strategies are examined in the context of the management and measurement of fishing capacity, monitoring, control and surveillance of fisheries, as well as the economic and social implications of alternative fisheries management approaches, including the use of subsidies.
491. The programme plays a key role in fostering international cooperation in fisheries, in particular as focal point for supporting regional fisheries bodies and for enhanced cooperation and collaboration with other organizations. There is strong emphasis on assessing and reporting of international developments in fisheries and promoting the acceptance and effective implementation of international fishery instruments.

Impact of ZRG Resource Levels |
Resources for several programme entities, in particular 234A1 for the CCRF, would have to be reduced. This is unfortunate at a time when the WSSD 2002 Plan of Implementation makes specific reference to the CCRF and its related IPOAs. Therefore, the programme would not be able to address the growing demands from member countries which are directly linked to the WSSD 2002 Plan of Implementation in such important fields as policy advice, support to small scale fisheries, as well as strengthening of regional fishery bodies. |
499. Significant extra-budgetary contributions come from the Sustainable Fisheries Livelihoods Programme which operates in 25 West African countries (GCP/INT/735/JPN). Other extra-budgetary projects are grouped under the “Umbrella project for Implementation of the CCRF: FISHCODE”. Furthermore, extra-budgetary resources are expected for a project proposal related to “Interdisciplinary Support for Global Implementation of WSSD objectives”, aimed at strengthening normative activities undertaken by entity 234P3 Economic and Social Analysis of Fishery and Aquaculture Policy and Management.
