This engagement follows similar activities carried out in some projects that are recently tackling the development potentialities of the small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the Mediterranean basin (e.g. Ready Med Fish Project, Fish in Med Project and FARNET). Based on that, I tried to better specify the objectives of this study trying to avoid duplication and fruitless efforts. Consequently, the objectives of this study are as follows: ñ To ameliorate living conditions of Mediterranean artisanal fishers by providing sets of information on experiences carried out by operators in different Countries. Consumers, tourists and other categories having relations with fishing activities will also benefit from fishing operators aware of their capabilities to provide valuable services (general objective). ñ More in specific, the intention of this work is to highlight the inner – I would say innate – capabilities of the SSF to play outside the boundaries of the activities at sea. We should recognise the historical predisposition of SSF to act in the field of primary production but also in the one of service-providing to grab all the potentialities of this sector. ñ To highlight the rootedness of SSF to their territories and their ability to maintain an optimal balance between a healthy environment and sensible human footprints, creating – in some cases – unique landscapes and highly viable productions. ñ To make fishers aware of those activities of diversification already in force, to allow them to put them appropriately into practice. ñ To report experiences of multi-functionality implemented in Lebanon. Country’s fisheries sector is fully based on SSF mainly carried out by small wooden vessels performing their activities in shallow waters. The legislation regulating fishing activities is outdated but no mention of any regulation is SMALL SCALE FISHERIES MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY 3 BEST-PRACTICES given in the field of multi-functionality. Nevertheless, manySMALL experiences SCALE FISHERIES of different nature have been identified and reported. MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY BEST-PRACTICES ñ To report experiences that may be easily duplicated – fully or partially – in disadvantaged areas and/or in the Southern shores of the Mediterranean with or without the financial or logistic support of external institution. On the other hand, speculations and in-depth analyses on the most important terminology in use in this report, namely the terms “small-scale fisheries”, “artisanal fisheries”, “multi-functionality” and “diversification” are left to other fora. I have tried to highlight the role of single or groups of fishermen that, also without the intervention of institutions, such as cooperatives, NGOs or governmental bodies, are carrying out actions of diversification of primary production activities (e.g. new fishing techniques and gear), diversification of activities within the fish value chain, multi-activity (i.e. traditional fishing and integrative activities, such as fishing tourism or restaurants and catering), diversification of the fisheries area into sectors not directly related to fishing, such as environmental, research, social services, renewable energies or other emerging sectors. For this purpose, field visits in ports and coastal areas were implemented in Lebanon, Italy and Turkey. Exchange of information via email and telephone contacts occurred with project partners, governmental officers, fishers and researchers in Mediterranean Countries. In Lebanon, field surveys were carried out predominantly in the northern and central sector of the Country.

Survey area is highlighted in green in the globe (left) and a more detailed map of Figure (right). Inputs consist of pictures, stories and information collected directly, through the support of Mediterranean partners or from sources available on the web. This report consists of an introduction and 38 complete sheets describing practices on multi-functionality in the Mediterranean. Also with the support of the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (MAI-B), the outputs of this study will represent a tailored tool to enforce South-South cooperation and strengthen the already existing bilateral or/and multilateral relationships to exchange best practices and expertise, in order to capitalize and to share what has already been successfully done in the Mediterranean region. SMALL SCALE FISHERIES MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY 5 BEST-PRACTICES SMALL SCALE FISHERIES INTRODUCTION MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY BEST-PRACTICES The Mediterranean is bordered by 23 countries (including Gibraltar and the Palestinian Territories). There are 69 rivers that flow into the Mediterranean, 46% of which are sedimentary and include important sensitive ecosystems such as beaches, dunes, reefs, lagoons, wetlands, estuaries or deltas (UNEP/MAP-Plan Bleu, 2009). In 2008, the total population of the Mediterranean countries was 464 million, with four countries accounting for 60% of this total: Egypt, Turkey, France and Italy. In the same year, the population of the coastal regions was approximately 157.3 million, i.e. 34% of the total national population of the Mediterranean countries. Italy, Egypt, Spain and Turkey account for 62% of this total. In the Mediterranean, SSF involve a great number of fishing techniques as more than 50 types of fishing gears are used and include all the metiers that are not typically industrial, such as trawl nets, large seines for large and small pelagic, large longliners and hydraulic dredges for shellfish. The most common fishing gears used in the Mediterranean SSF remain static nets, particularly trammel nets and gillnets. Small scale fishers are important carrier of local knowledge and good practices for co-management and they can have a low environmental impact. Multi-functionality is to be considered an integrative activity that is intended to valorise knowledge and good practices and in no case as a replacement of the main fishery activities. Further to that, side activities may be considered as a pillar of the SSF that in many cases needs to be updated or revamped. Communities of fishers have existed throughout the Mediterranean basin since time immemorial. There is abundant mention of this phenomenon of civilization in historic, geographic and ethnographic literature. Some also speak of “indigenous fisheries” or “sedentary fisheries”, designating groups firmly linked to what can truly be termed “fishing grounds”. In addition to providing domestic housing for families, such areas also include technical zones for the protection and landing of vessels, the construction and repair of boats, the storing of nets, their maintenance and repair, and the sale, storage and packaging of the catch. Collecting fish from the nets, landing of the boat, packaging of the fish, and repair and maintenance of the gear are all undertaken by an informal group of children and elderly people who are paid SMALL SCALE FISHERIES MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY 6 BEST-PRACTICES in kind1.

  • Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector
    The Study on the Integrated Tourism Development Plan in the Republic of Lebanon Final Report Vol. 4 Sector Review Report Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector 4.1 Competitiveness This section uses the well-known Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats [SWOT] approach to evaluate the competitiveness of Lebanon for distinct types of tourism, and to provide a logical basis for key measures to be recommended to strengthen the sector. The three tables appearing in this section summarize the characteristics of nine segments of demand that Lebanon is attracting and together present a SWOT analysis for each to determine their strategic importance. The first table matches segments with their geographic origin. The second shows characteristics of the segments. Although the Diaspora is first included as a geographic origin, in the two later tables it is listed [as a column] alongside the segments in order to show a profile of its characteristics. The third table presents a SWOT analysis for each segment. 4.1.1 Strengths The strengths generally focus on certain strong and unique characteristics that Lebanon enjoys building its appeal for the nine segments. The country’s mixture of socio-cultural assets including its built heritage and living traditions constitutes a major strength for cultural tourism, and secondarily for MICE segment [which seeks interesting excursions], and for the nature-based markets [which combines nature and culture]. For the Diaspora, Lebanon is the unique homeland and is unrivaled in that role. The country’s moderate Mediterranean climate is a strong factor for the vacationing families coming from the hotter GCC countries.

  • The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918)
    The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) by Melanie Tanielian A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Beshara Doumani Professor Saba Mahmood Professor Margaret L. Anderson Professor Keith D. Watenpaugh Fall 2012 The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) © Copyright 2012, Melanie Tanielian All Rights Reserved Abstract The War of Famine: Everyday Life in Wartime Beirut and Mount Lebanon (1914-1918) By Melanie Tanielian History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair World War I, no doubt, was a pivotal event in the history of the Middle East, as it marked the transition from empires to nation states. Taking Beirut and Mount Lebanon as a case study, the dissertation focuses on the experience of Ottoman civilians on the homefront and exposes the paradoxes of the Great War, in its totalizing and transformative nature. Focusing on the causes and symptoms of what locals have coined the ‘war of famine’ as well as on international and local relief efforts, the dissertation demonstrates how wartime privations fragmented the citizenry, turning neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, and at the same time enabled social and administrative changes that resulted in the consolidation and strengthening of bureaucratic hierarchies and patron-client relationships. This dissertation is a detailed analysis of socio-economic challenges that the war posed for Ottoman subjects, focusing primarily on the distorting effects of food shortages, disease, wartime requisitioning, confiscations and conscriptions on everyday life as well as on the efforts of the local municipality and civil society organizations to provision and care for civilians.

  • Mt Lebanon & the Chouf Mountains ﺟﺒﻞ ﻟﺒﻨﺎن وﺟﺒﺎل اﻟﺸﻮف
    © Lonely Planet 293 Mt Lebanon & the Chouf Mountains ﺟﺒﻞ ﻟﺒﻨﺎن وﺟﺒﺎل اﻟﺸﻮف Mt Lebanon, the traditional stronghold of the Maronites, is the heartland of modern Leba- non, comprising several distinct areas that together stretch out to form a rough oval around Beirut, each home to a host of treasures easily accessible on day trips from the capital. Directly to the east of Beirut, rising up into the mountains, are the Metn and Kesrouane districts. The Metn, closest to Beirut, is home to the relaxed, leafy summer-retreats of Brum- mana and Beit Mery, the latter host to a fabulous world-class winter festival. Further out, mountainous Kesrouane is a lunar landscape in summer and a skier’s paradise, with four resorts to choose from, during the snowy winter months. North from Beirut, the built-up coastal strip hides treasures sandwiched between concrete eyesores, from Jounieh’s dubiously hedonistic ‘super’ nightclubs and gambling pleasures to the beautiful ancient port town of Byblos, from which the modern alphabet is believed to have derived. Inland you’ll find the wild and rugged Adonis Valley and Jebel Tannourine, where the remote Afqa Grotto and Laklouk, yet another of Lebanon’s ski resorts, beckon travellers. To the south, the lush green Chouf Mountains, where springs and streams irrigate the region’s plentiful crops of olives, apples and grapes, are the traditional home of Lebanon’s Druze population. The mountains hold a cluster of delights, including one real and one not-so-real palace – Beiteddine and Moussa respectively – as well as the expansive Chouf THE CHOUF MOUNTAINS Cedar Reserve and Deir al-Qamar, one of the prettiest small towns in Lebanon.
