FISHERIES REFUGIA PRESENTATIONS

Members of the UNEP/GEF Regional Working Group on Fisheries have developed a series of presentations on efforts to establish and manage fisheries refugia. These have been delivered in sessions of the FAO Asia-Pacific Fisheries Commission, Regional Technical Consultations and Expert Meetings of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, and the 2006 East Asian Seas Congress. These are also delivered in country consultations using national language as appropriate. Several of these presentations are provided below as slideshows. Please follow the links below.
