  • Women in Fisheries
    FOREWORD We organized the Global Symposium on Women in Fisheries through the recommendation made in the International Symposium on Women in Fisheries held four years ago in Chiangmai, in conjunction with the 5th Asian Fisheries Forum. We are pleased to see the number of participants involved in women in fisheries issues growing. The Symposia have also attracted interested men and women who participated actively in the discussions. From women issues at the Asian level, which was the main focus of the Chiangmai Symposium, we have moved towards issues at the global level in the Kaoshiung Symposium. This time, participants from all corners of the earth met to discuss this very important topic. After the failures in many of the development projects planned by international agencies in the 1960s and 1970s, where women were excluded in the planning and implementation phase, experts realized that the sustainability of projects require the participation from both women and men–not as woman and man per se, but as a community. This Symposium and the earlier one, although largely focusing on women, also raised several gender issues, among which were the involvement of communities in the sapyaw fishery in the Philippines, and the vulnerability of fishers and their families to HIV/AIDS. The next logical step is to move towards gender and fisheries (GAF), instead of focusing just on women. The methodology developed in gender and development (GAD) programs could be utilized for GAF studies, so that the constraints and inequity among men and women may be better understood, and recommendations made to overcome the inequity.

  • Incidental Catches of Marine Mammals in Fisheries in Sabah and Sarawak Waters, East Malaysia
    CM 2005/X:07 INCIDENTAL CATCHES OF MARINE MAMMALS IN FISHERIES IN SABAH AND SARAWAK WATERS, EAST MALAYSIA Saifullah A. JAAMAN1,2, Yuhana U. LAH-ANYI2, and Graham J. PIERCE1 1. Department of Zoology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Tillydrone Avenue, Aberdeen AB24 2TZ, United Kingdom (E-mail: [email protected]). 2. Marine Mammals and Whale Shark Research and Conservation Program, Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Locked Bag 2073, 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. ABSTRACT: The nature and magnitude of incidental catches of marine mammals in fisheries was investigated in Sabah and Sarawak waters, East Malaysia, using a combination of interview survey procedures and observer trips on fishing boats. Between March 1997 and December 2004, we interviewed fishermen working on 753 and 358 boats in Sabah and Sarawak, respectively, who were employing trawl nets, purse seines, gillnets and fish stakes (kelong). They were asked questions about sightings of marine mammals and interactions with fishing. We also followed 36 trawl and 10 purse seine fishing trips in Sabah between June 2003 and December 2004. Fishing was conducted in coastal waters and the methods were briefly described and total annual catches by each method and region were estimated. Marine mammals were reported incidentally caught by 310 (41%) and 99 (28%) fishing boats in Sabah and Sarawak, respectively. Gillnetters, trawlers and fish stakes were reported to catch cetaceans and dugongs, while purse seiners caught only cetaceans. In certain areas, some caught animals were consumed, traded and/or used as shark bait. Overall, the magnitude of incidental catches of marine mammals is significantly greater in gillnets, as compared to other fishing gears.

Brisbane, 30th April, 1905 SIR,—I have the honour to hand you my Annual Report on the results of the operations of " The Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Acts, 1897 to 1901," for the year ending 31st December, 1904. LABOUR CONDITIONS. Permits. — A total of 1,863 permits has been issued by the local Protectors. Particulars of their distribution are shown in the accompanying table, with the appointments of all these officials up to date. Mrs. Frew, the Protector of Aboriginals (female) is specially entrusted with the supervision and care of the half-caste and full-blooded girls out at service in the Brisbane and Southern areas; her report on the Aboriginal Girls' Home, of which she is the gazetted superintendent, will be found in the section dealing with mission stations, &c. Irritation has been caused amongst certain employers in the Southern and Central districts owing to the cancellation of the so-called " general " permits to employ any native — man, woman, or child: as the issue of such documents was in direct contravention of the principles embodied in the Aboriginals Protection Acts, I had no choice in the matter but to refuse them in all cases.

    Piracy Report Independent Global Incident Analysis PIRACY REPORT NOVEMBER 2017 _____________________________________________________ Piracy and Acts of Armed Robbery of Ships For Monthly Reports Please contact Lydelle Joubert [email protected] Copyright © 2017 L. Joubert 1 Analysis Nigeria, the Strait of Malacca and the Philippines 2016 are currently the worst piracy and maritime robbery Incidents affected areas. Venezuela also recorded high incidents. 71 crew members and passengers of vessels were kidnapped on the coast of Nigeria during 11 reported incidents between January and end of November 2017. Maritime kidnap risk off Nigeria remains high. Ten crew members were kidnapped from the Bulk Carrier, Venus Bay in November 2017. The Nigerian Navy rescued the kidnap victims and arrested five pirates. The incident has yet to be confirmed by the Nigerian Navy or in local Nigerian newspapers. Arrests of kidnap for ransom syndicate members targeting commercial vessels off the Nigerian coast 2017 are almost unheard of. For the most the only Incidents kidnappers arrested are those involved in the kidnapping of passengers and crew from small local vessels or arrests that were executed by neighbouring countries. It is likely that the suspects in this incident would have been involved in previous kidnappings. It raises more questions about the identities of the kidnappers or possible links to prominent members of Nigerian society. The Fishing Trawlers Owners Association of Nigeria listed piracy and robbery as a major challenge for the industry. Attacks on fishing vessels in the Gulf of Guinea are seldom reported. Two robberies on yachts were recorded at Porto da Praia Bay, Cape Verdes.

Final Report Abstract The Philippines, with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.2 million sq. km, including over 7,000 islands, relies on fisheries as one of its major industries, sources of employment and in promoting food security. The hand-line fishery using bancas (or pump boats), catching commercially viable species such as tuna, is a major component of both municipal and commercial fisheries in the Philippines. Hand-line fishing is considered one of the most sustainable forms of fishing in the country. However, the economic significance of the hand-line fishery is increasingly threatened by a number of factors, including poor information on the fishery and inadequate management and regulatory systems, which impact negatively on the economic development of the hand-line sector.
