No results found.Under the EAF-Nansen Programme (Supporting the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management considering climate and pollution impacts), a national workshop was organized at the premises of the FAO Representation in Dar es Salaam, the United Republic of Tanzania, from 3 to 5 July 2018. The objective of the workshop was to discuss follow-up actions for the implementation of the United Republic of Tanzania small and medium pelagic fisheries management plan (AFMP). The workshop was attended by 11 participants from the United Republic of Tanzania Fisheries Development Division of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute, SWIOFish Project, Civil society organizations (CSOs), fishers associations, the Norwegian Department of Fisheries and the EAF-Nansen Programme. The three-day programme included presentations on the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF), the fisheries management cycle (FMC) and management plans. Discussions were also held on background information needed to implement the plan. Additionally, several activities were proposed in the form of a concept note to guide the FAO EAF-Nansen Programme’s support to implement the AFMP. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetManagement of beach seine fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea. An initiative of the EAF-Nansen Programme 2021
Also available in:
The projects to support the management of beach seine fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea are part of the EAF-Nansen Programme (2017–2022). The long term objective of the programme is to promote sustainable fisheries that will improve the food and nutritional security of populations of partner countries. The projects to support the management of beach seine fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea are aimed at supporting the implementation of concerted management plans in order to harmonize fisheries management through regional collaboration. The projects contribute to the expected results of the EAF-Nansen Programme, particularly that fisheries management institutions manage fisheries according to the EAF principles and related indicators. The projects contribute also towards achieving the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life below Water). -
Book (stand-alone)Smart licensing of artisanal fisheries in the coastal waters of Tanzania (Mainland) with emphasis on small pelagics fisheries 2014

No results found.During October-November 2013 a mini fisheries frame survey was carried out in the districts bordering the Tanzanian coast of the Indian Ocean. Its purpose was to obtain an overview of the distribution of fishermen and fishing vessels along the coast and in order to find out to what extent registration and licensing of fishing vessels and fishermen takes place. The information led to the estimation of potential revenues in case all artisanal vessels and fishermen were licensed. Their registration would be a great step towards combating Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported fishing in Tanzanian waters. The results of the mini frame survey were compared with those of the latest frame survey in 2009. An increase in fishermen and a slight decrease in vessels could be observed. The registration and licensing rates increased from 27 to 37% over a period of four years. It may take long before the entire fleet is registered and licensed. Therefore it is proposed to make use of existing technology , using mobile phones and the so-called “mobile money or smart money” to collect license fees (and registration fees). This system is well known in East Africa and payment points are found in every village and town. This system will guarantee a secure and transparent way of recording licencing information. Upon receipt of the funds the fishermen and fishing vessels will be provided with badges and license plates to demonstrate their compliance with regulations. Analyses have been prepared to ind icate the increase in revenues if licence fees could be increased to the equivalents of US$ 15 and US$ 20 per year. These revenues are considerable and would easily meet the initial costs for the establishment of the system. This technological way of revenue collection provides other advantages, too, for instance the creation of a network that allows the distribution of bulk messages to reach thousands of beneficiaries in a short time, to warn for instance against extreme weather conditions, to coordinate search and rescue operations, or to remind fishermen to pay their fees, etc. The results of the mini survey and the proposed system for licensing have been discussed during a workshop in Bagamoyo and the discussions led to a number of recommendations to strengthen the line of command between the Fisheries Department and the District Fisheries Officers, to plough back revenues from fisheries operations into the fisheries sector; to simplify the requirements from another institution res ponsible for shipping and to test the new system in three districts Pangani, Bagamoyo and Kinondoni (PABAKI). The above system is in line with the latest Fisheries Management Plan for small pelagic fisheries based on the Ecosystem Approach to Fishing that all fishermen and fishing vessels be registered and licensed. The method may apply to the entire artisanal fleet operating in the Tanzanian coastal waters. The SmartFish programme could herewith establish a system of Smart Licenses for Smart fi shermen.
