Report of the Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture
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.
