APFIC/FAO regional consultative workshop: strengthening assessment of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region for policy development, Yangon, Myanmar, 4-6 October 2011
Strengthening assessment of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region for policy development At its 31st session, the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) emphasized the need for lower cost fishery assessment methods that are not heavily reliant on survey cruises and for developing assessment techniques for data-poor, small-scale fisheries based on qualitative data and risk-based approaches. It also identified the need for improved management of aquaculture at the farm and sector levels. As a result, APFIC organized a regional consultative forum on strengthening assessment of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region for policy development convened in Yangon, Myanmar from 4 to 6 October 2011. The workshop brought together 58 participants from member countries and regional partner organizations to discuss, hold consultations on, and influence the region's efforts on developing and applying various types of fishery and aquaculture related assessments to support the management process. In the context of capture fisheries, the focus was on reviewing how existing assessment approaches can contribute to the different phases of the management process. The focus in aquaculture was to help develop standards for environmental impact assessments and footprint type activities to support ecosystem approaches to management. This publication reports on the outcomes of the workshop, including a summary of the recommendations.
