“Fisheries sub-sector example” presented by Michael Pido, Palawan State University, the Philippines at the ReSAKSS-Asia Conference, Nov 14-16, 2011, in Kathmandu, Nepal.
This document outlines the historical development of fisheries legislation in the Philippines from 1932 to 1998. It summarizes the key Philippine fisheries laws and acts passed, including the first Fisheries Act of 1932, Presidential Decree No. 534 of 1974 which instituted penalties for illegal fishing, and the Fisheries Code of 1998 which is the current governing law. The Fisheries Code of 1998 aims to achieve food security, limit fishery access to Filipino citizens only, and ensure sustainable development and conservation of fisheries resources. It covers management of fisheries in municipal waters, commercial fishing, aquaculture, and post-harvest activities.
This document defines key terms related to municipal fishing and fisherfolk in the Philippines. It describes that municipal fishing occurs within municipal waters using vessels of 3 gross tons or less and that municipal fisherfolk are those engaged in fishing and related activities. It also defines organizations of fisherfolk like cooperatives and the roles of local governments and fisherfolk organizations in managing municipal waters and supporting fisherfolk.
The Fisheries Code establishes objectives and policies for the conservation, management, and sustainable development of the country's fisheries and aquatic resources. It aims to conserve resources through mechanisms like catch ceilings and bans on fishing rare species. It also seeks to alleviate poverty among small fisherfolk and improve aquaculture. The Code applies in all Philippine waters and land devoted to fishing, and prioritizes access and resource use for Filipino citizens and fisherfolk. It regulates activities that may impact the environment through requirements like environmental impact assessments.
The document discusses fisheries management practices for sustainable fisheries in the Maldives. It covers objectives of fisheries management including sustainable use of fish stocks. Methods of monitoring fish stocks such as tagging and stock assessment are described. Regulations for fisheries management including restrictions on fishing seasons, areas, gear and catch sizes are explained. The fishing industry in the Maldives and importance of fisheries resources are also summarized.
This document discusses issues with the marketing of fish products and proposes solutions to address those issues. It notes that unregulated supplies, price fluctuations, lack of infrastructure and quality control, and insufficient market intelligence and finance pose problems. To remedy these, it suggests regulating supplies and prices, improving infrastructure for marketing, maintaining quality, providing market data and finance assistance. It also outlines different market systems for inland and marine fish, including cooperatives, local bodies, wholesale markets, and private companies. Modes of sale include auctions, tenders and direct sales.
The document discusses India's marine environment and efforts taken under Agenda 21. It notes that marine ecosystems support habitats like coral reefs and mangroves. Various human activities like pollution, mining, and construction threaten these environments. The government has established regulations and agencies to manage coastal zones and marine resources sustainably. Key programs evaluate coastal waters, integrate management of coastal areas, and assess living resources beyond 70 meters depth. Overall the government has made progress in protecting the marine environment through legislation and research programs.

An ecosystem consists of living organisms and their physical environment interacting as a system. It can be small, like a pond, medium sized like a forest, or large like the entire Earth. An ecosystem includes both biotic factors like producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as abiotic factors like water, soil, and air. All parts of an ecosystem interact together.
The document provides an analysis of the value chain of fisheries in Malkangiri district of Odisha, India. It summarizes stakeholder roles, infrastructure requirements, production processes, and financial considerations. Key points include:
- Fish farmers have low productivity of 500-750g per fish due to lack of quality seed, feed, and technical knowledge.
- Establishing community hatcheries and feed production can help increase farmers' income by improving access and reducing costs.
- A proposed model includes community organizations for input supply, financing, and market linkages to strengthen the fisheries value chain.

Marine Fisheries Regulation Act
An Act to provide for the regulation of fishing by fishing vessels in the sea along the coast line of the State. (1) This Act may be called the Kerala Marine Fishing Regulation Act, 1980. (2) It extends to the whole of the State of Kerala.
This document provides background information on animal ecology and summarizes key aspects of Republic Act No. 9147, also known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, which is the main law governing wildlife conservation in the Philippines. It discusses Charles Elton's foundational work in animal ecology, defines animal ecology and some of its subfields. It then summarizes several chapters and sections of RA 9147, covering general provisions, jurisdiction, collection and possession of wildlife, transport, introduction of species, bioprospecting, and scientific research.
The document classifies the fishing industry into main and ancillary industries based on their specifications. The main industry directly involves fishing and includes primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. The primary sector covers capture fisheries like industrial, small-scale, and artisanal fishing as well as culture fisheries. The secondary sector handles processing fresh fish into products. The tertiary sector covers transportation and distribution of fish products to consumers through marketing.
Sustainable fisheries policy and coastal resources managementNaeem Hassan
The fisheries industry of Pakistan provides employment to over 300,000 fishermen and 400,000 ancillary workers. However, the 10,000 women working in fish processing plants face poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of basic facilities. They work long hours in unsanitary environments without proper safety equipment or healthcare. While the government is responsible for developing policies to support fisheries, it has not addressed the needs of female workers. Experts recommend fully implementing labor laws, raising awareness of women's rights, and establishing oversight committees to improve conditions for women in the industry.
This document discusses environmental laws and principles. It covers several international treaties and conventions related to hazardous waste, biological diversity, trade in endangered species, migratory species, and climate change. It also outlines several key Philippine laws concerning chain saws, solid waste management, air quality, animal welfare, mining, and the responsibilities of government and communities in environmental protection.
"The Health of our Planet as well as our own health and future food security all hinge on how well we treat the Blue water "
FOA Director General Jose Graziano Da Silva
The document discusses fisheries and aquaculture in Pakistan. It provides information on the types of fishing (marine and inland), main fishing centers, challenges facing the industry, and management of fisheries resources. Fisheries play an important role in Pakistan's economy by providing employment and being a major export industry. However, the sector faces issues like water pollution, overfishing, and lack of infrastructure and knowledge. The government is taking steps to improve exports and sustainable management of fisheries.
The document discusses shrimp hatcheries, including their importance in supplying shrimp fry for farms. It describes the ideal conditions for establishing a shrimp hatchery, such as selecting a suitable site with access to clean sea water, electricity, and spawners. The document outlines different types of hatchery designs and sizes, from small backyard hatcheries producing a few million fry annually to large commercial hatcheries producing over 20 million fry. Key factors for hatchery success include site selection, design efficiency, technician experience, and operational management.
Invasive species in Coastal Ecosystems: Causes, Impacts and Management Recomm...Loretta Roberson
This document discusses invasive species in coastal ecosystems, focusing on Puerto Rico. It defines invasive species and describes common pathways like transportation and commerce. Invasive species threaten biodiversity and alter ecosystems. In Puerto Rico, lionfish, firefish, Asian tiger shrimp and sea lions have become established. Management challenges include inconsistent data and limited funding. Effective strategies prioritize high-risk species and pathways to prevent new introductions.
This presentation was presented by Meryl Williams, based on the full written report: HLPE, 2014. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome 2014.(http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/en/).
This report addresses a frequently overlooked but extremely important part of world food and nutrition security: the role and importance of fish in seeking food and nutrition security for all. Fisheries and aquaculture have often been arbitrarily separated from other parts of the food and agricultural systems in food security studies, debates and policy-making.
The report presents a synthesis of existing evidence regarding the complex pathways between fisheries and aquaculture and food and nutrition security, including the environmental, economic and social dimensions, as well as issues related to governance. It provides insights on what needs to be done to achieve sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in order to strengthen their positive impact on food and nutrition security.
The ambition of this compact yet comprehensive report is to help the international community to share and understand the wide spectrum of issues that make fisheries and aquaculture such an important part of efforts to assure food security for all.

This document summarizes the history of cooking oil fortification with vitamin A in Indonesia, including key challenges and progress over time. It describes early feasibility studies showing the program's potential impact in reducing vitamin A deficiency. While standards were established in 2012, implementation was repeatedly postponed due to lobbying by some oil companies. By 2019, consensus was reached to fortify all packaged cooking oils by January 2020. However, leadership changes risk further delays to this effort to combat widespread nutritional problems through a low-cost fortification strategy.
Food Fortification Policies in the Asia Region by Dennis Bittisnich, Food Fortification Initiative. Presented at the ReSAKSS-Asia - MIID conference "Evolving Agrifood Systems in Asia: Achieving food and nutrition security by 2030" on Oct 30-31, 2019 in Yangon, Myanmar.
Pakistan has a history of fortifying staple foods to address micronutrient deficiencies. In the 1960s, oil/ghee was mandated to be fortified with vitamins A and D. In the 1980s, salt iodization became voluntary. A National Fortification Alliance was established in 2003 and 2005 saw the start of a wheat flour fortification program. Current efforts focus on fortifying wheat flour and oil/ghee through legislation, industry standards, and quality control. A 2017 survey found progress but also challenges in reaching small mills. Next steps include continued education campaigns to ensure fortified foods reach those most at risk of deficiencies.

Thailand has a long history of genetically modified crop development and regulation. Key events include the first GM crop field trials in 1994 and establishment of regulatory bodies like the National Biosafety Committee in 1993. While some GM crops were approved for trials, all open field trials were banned in 2001 until biosafety laws were passed. GM food labeling is required only for certain products containing over 5% GM ingredients. Though a biosafety act has been drafted, it has not passed. Current guidelines govern GM research, but emerging technologies may require regulatory changes. Further considerations include exemptions for GM imports and revisions to labeling policies.

1) The study examined the relationship between market access, production diversity, and dietary diversity for pregnant/lactating women and children aged 6-23 months in Chin State, Myanmar.
2) It found that market access appears to play a critical role in animal-source food consumption and overall dietary diversity, particularly for areas closer to markets. Production diversity was more important for dietary outcomes in areas further from markets.
3) Nutrition education through the PACE project had a larger, more significant impact on dietary outcomes than either market access or production diversity interventions alone. Investments in nutrition education are important irrespective of how access to nutritious food is improved.
The Quiet Revolution in Myanmar’s Aquaculture Value Chain by Ben Belton, Michigan State University. Presented at the ReSAKSS-Asia - MIID conference "Evolving Agrifood Systems in Asia: Achieving food and nutrition security by 2030" on Oct 30-31, 2019 in Yangon, Myanmar.
E-commerce has significantly increased food consumption in rural China through two channels. First, it reduces the cost of living, increasing disposable income that is partly spent on food. Second, it expands choices of food items available, especially non-perishables. Data shows rural household food expenditure grew more than other items with greater e-commerce. However, the biggest impact was on poor households and food for young children, as online access has reduced breastfeeding and increased formula purchases among the poor. While e-commerce has boosted rural consumption, the nutritional effects on children in poor areas requires further study.

This document summarizes research on traditional and modern milk marketing chains in India and their implications for smallholder dairy farmers. The key points are:
1) India has a large dairy sector dominated by small farms, but milk is sold through both traditional local markets and modern cooperatives/companies.
2) Research finds smallholder dairy farmers who sell to modern markets earn higher incomes than those relying only on local traders.
3) Factors like farm size, education, and information access influence whether farmers use traditional or modern markets.
4) Policies should encourage smallholder participation in formal markets to improve farmer welfare through higher returns.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
