2011Also available in:
No results found.The Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture, held in Doha, the State of Qatar, from 24 to 28 October 2010, was attended by 21 delegates from seven Member countries of RECOFI (the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) and representatives from FAO. The workshop achieved three objectives: (i) it created awarenes s and initiated capacity building through a technical seminar on basic concepts and emerging issues concerning spatial planning for marine capture fisheries and aquaculture; It received feedback from each RECOFI country presentation on the present status of the use of spatially-based planning tools, including case studies, present issues and challenges; (ii) it presented the results and analysis of the RECOFI regional spatial planning for marine capture fisheries and aquaculture questionnaire su rvey; and (iii) it prepared and finalized a Proposal for a Regional programme for Implementing a Strategy on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture in RECOFI Member countries based on the survey outcomes and workshop deliberation and brainstorming. The long-term vision of the regional strategy for implementing spatial planning capacity in the RECOFI member countries is: To illustrate how spatial planning tools are one essential element to achieving sustainable clean, healt hy, safe, productive and biologically diverse marine seas in the RECOFI region, and how they allow for mariculture and marine fishery production activities to be maximized whilst at the same time taking into account the other users of the marine space. -
Book (series)Report of the Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning Development Programme for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture. Cairo, the Arab Republic of Egypt, 25-27 November 2012. 2013

No results found.The Regional Technical Workshop on a Spatial Planning Development Programme for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture, held in Cairo, the Arab Republic of Egypt, from 25 to 27 November 2012, was attended by 12 delegates from 6 member countries of the Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) and FAO. The workshop achieved four objectives: (i) it created awareness and initiated capacity building through a technical seminar on spatial planning for marine capture fisheries and aquacul ture – it received feedback from each RECOFI country presentation on recent and relevant spatial planning projects; (ii) it presented the results and analysis of the “RECOFI Spatial Planning Development Programme for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture Questionnaire Survey”; (iii) it prepared and finalized a “Proposal for a Spatial Planning Development Programme for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture” in RECOFI member countries based on the survey outcomes, workshop delibe rations and brainstorming; and (iv) it identified potential pilot projects on marine capture fisheries and aquaculture, which were later elaborated in detail by international consultants after the workshop and in consultation with workshop participants. -
Book (stand-alone)Aquaculture zoning, site selection and area management under the ecosystem approach to aquaculture. Full document 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The ecosystem approach to aquaculture provides the conceptual guideline to spatial planning and management. This publication describes the three major steps in spatial planning and management, namely, zoning, site selection and design of an aquaculture management area, or AMA. The rationale for and objectives of each step, the ways (methodologies) to implement it, and the means (tools) that are available to enable a methodology are described in a stepwise fashion. Recommendations to practitioner s and policy-makers are provided. A separate policy brief accompanies this paper. The benefits from spatial planning and management are numerous and include higher productivity and returns for investors, and more effective mitigation of environmental, economic and social risks, the details of which are provided in this paper. This publication is organized in two parts. Part one is the “Guidance”; it is the main body of the document and describes the processes and steps for spatial planning, incl uding aquaculture zoning, site selection and area management. Part two of the publication includes six annexes that present key topics, including: (i) binding and non-legally binding international instruments, which set the context for sustainable national aquaculture; (ii) biosecurity zoning; (iii) aquaculture certification and zonal management; (iv) an overview of key tools and models that can be used to facilitate and inform the spatial planning process; (v) case studies from ten countries – Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Oman, the Philippines, Turkey, Uganda and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and (vi) a workshop report. The country case studies illustrate key aspects of the implementation of spatial planning and management at the national level, but mostly within local contexts. Take-home messages include the ways in which institutional, legal and policy issues are addressed to implement the process, or parts of the process.
