The research took the form of a six-month desk review of available literature, supplemented by ad hoc consultations and a two-day expert consultation held in Vienna, Austria. Importantly the study did not set out to tarnish the fishing industry. Rather, the study sought to determine whether criminal activities take place within the fishing industry to the detriment of law-abiding fishers, the legitimate fishing industry, local fishing communities, and the general public alike. The study considered the involvement of the fishing industry or the use of fishing vessels in trafficking in persons (Chapter 2); smuggling of migrants (Chapter 3); illicit traffic in drugs (Chapter 4); and other forms of crime such as marine living resource crime, corruption, and piracy and other security related crimes (Chapter 5). Perhaps the most disturbing finding of the study was the severity of the abuse of fishers trafficked for the purpose of forced labour on board fishing vessels. These practices can only be described as cruel and inhumane treatment in the extreme. Fishers are held as de facto prisoners of the sea, and the study documents several instances of reported deaths, severe physical and sexual abuse, coercion and general disregard for the safety and working conditions of fishers. A particularly disturbing facet of this form of exploitation is the frequency of trafficking in children in the fishing industry. The study found several reported instances where trafficking in persons on board fishing vessels were linked to marine living resource crimes. Marine living resource crime is defined for the purpose of the study as criminal conduct that may cause harm to the marine living environment; typically offences committed on the basis of contraventions of marine living resource management and conservation regulations. The study found that transnational organized criminal groups are engaged in marine living resource crimes in relation to high value, low volume species such as abalone. This criminal activity is also linked to illicit traffic in drugs, particularly ATS and ATS precursors, as a barter arrangement for marine living resources. The study also found that some transnational fishing operators are engaged in marine living resource crime. These fishing operations are highly sophisticated with complex incorporation and vessel registration strategies, as well as a high degree of logistical 3 coordination of vessel support services at sea and the laundering of illegally caught fish on to the

    A RESPECTABLE TRADE OR AGAINST HUMAN DIGNITY? Next year sees the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. The Head of Community Learning, Doug Ford, explains that while Jersey and Guernsey were not directly involved, Channel Islands merchants and ships did profit from the transportation of human cargoes across the Atlantic. This 1792 image of Captain John Kember by Isaac Cruickshank was used by the abolitionists to further their cause.

ABSTRACT The knowledge and skill of the poople are important tools for the development of natural resources and for the prosperty of any country. The quality of education is judged not only from the inquistiveness and knowiedge it can impart but also from it's usefulees in meeting the urgent economic problems of the country. Vocational Courses in fisheries are offered in four states. The technologies in fisheries developed offer good scope for Vocational training for self employment. There is an urgent need to have radical revision of the course content to make the students vocationaliy competent. FISHERIES EDUCATION — STATE OF ART : Recognising the need to study, assess and develop the fishery resources of the country, Govt. of India established the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) Cochin; Central Inland Fisheries Risearch Institute (CIFRI) Barrackpore, Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFI) Cochin and Deep Sea Fishing Station, Bombay soon after the Independence. Since then, the fish production trend in the country has been encouraing. The annual fish production has increased from 0.5 million tons in 1950, to 2.6 million tons in 1983. Although the rate of increase has been fairly good, the per capita consumption of fish, even now, is less than 5 kg/yr.

    Data structure – Water The aim of this document is to provide a short and clear description of parameters (data items) that are to be reported in the data collection forms of the Global Monitoring Plan (GMP) data collection campaigns 2013–2014. The data itself should be reported by means of MS Excel sheets as suggested in the document UNEP/POPS/COP.6/INF/31, chapter 2.3, p. 22. Aggregated data can also be reported via on-line forms available in the GMP data warehouse (GMP DWH). Structure of the database and associated code lists are based on following documents, recommendations and expert opinions as adopted by the Stockholm Convention COP6 in 2013: · Guidance on the Global Monitoring Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants UNEP/POPS/COP.6/INF/31 (version January 2013) · Conclusions of the Meeting of the Global Coordination Group and Regional Organization Groups for the Global Monitoring Plan for POPs, held in Geneva, 10–12 October 2012 · Conclusions of the Meeting of the expert group on data handling under the global monitoring plan for persistent organic pollutants, held in Brno, Czech Republic, 13-15 June 2012 The individual reported data component is inserted as: · free text or number (e.g. Site name, Monitoring programme, Value) · a defined item selected from a particular code list (e.g., Country, Chemical – group, Sampling).

  • What's New in Washington: 10 Things You Need to Know
    Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser Share This Page March 31, 2017 As the Trump presidency completes its first 10 weeks, the administration is celebrating big wins on the regulatory reform front while nursing some wounds from a major defeat on efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While health care reform is on pause for the moment, Republicans are turning to tax reform as the next major policy priority and continuing to use executive orders (EO) and the Congressional Review Act to roll back Obama­era regulations. Funding for the government expires on April 28, 2017, so Republicans and Democrats will face the first test of bipartisanship in the next few weeks as they seek to fund government agencies, including the Department of Defense, through the end of September. All eyes will be on the Senate next week as the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch takes center stage. Here are 10 things that we believe are worth focusing on from the last two weeks: 1. Gorsuch Nomination 2. Possible Repeal of ISP Security Rules 3. TSA’s New Restrictions on Electronic Devices 4. “Energy Independence” Executive Order 5. Secretary Tillerson in Asia 6. Bilateral Trade and NAFTA Renegotiations 7. FDA User Fees Reauthorization 8. Fiduciary Rule 9. USTR Reports 10. Congressional Appropriations Preview Gorsuch Nomination Amid pressure from his left­leaning base, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D­NY) stepped up his opposition to the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court.
