Linkages to other GEF projects • GEF –UNDP – FAO Project OFM 2 (FFA – SPC - CSOs) • GEF UNDP WPEA 1 tuna project (WCPFC - Vietnam – Indonesia – Philippines) • GEF UNDP WPEA 2 tuna project (WCPFC - Vietnam – Indonesia – Philippines) • FAO-GEF global tuna project (t-RFOMs - countries – industry – CSOs)

  15. Appreciation to the Pacific Community

  16. Project 2 - Deep-sea Project Sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation of deep-sea ecosystems in the ABNJ

  17. The FAO Deep-sea Programme

  18. ABNJ Programme FAO Deep Sea Programme GEF-Funded Deep Seas project VME Database Project Sust. FI - Deep-sea Project VME and RFMO Deep-sea Project

  19. The FAO Deep-Sea ProgrammeCurrent and upcoming activities • Species identification guides • Specific guides for the identification of deepwater species (sharks, corals and sponges) • Training for deepwater species identification in major ports • Data collection and collaboration with industry • Fishing Vessel Execution of Acoustic Surveys for Assessment of Deep-sea Species • Manual on data collection for vulnerable deep-sea species • Best practices for collaboration between managers / scientists / industry • How to improve trust and collaboration

  20. The FAO Deep-Sea ProgrammeAreas of work • Global assessments and reviews • Alfonsino Workshop January 2012 • World Wide Review of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas: Second edition (2007-2010) • Best practices for encounter protocols, impact assessments and use of VME criteria • Workshops in May 2013 • Compilation of Best practices • Compilation of historical fisheries data • SEAFO area

  21. The FAO Deep-Sea ProgrammeCurrent and upcoming activities • VME Database • Regional workshops on VME data • Regional meeting Indian ocean July 2012 • SE Atlantic (April 2013)

  22. ABNJ Deep-sea Project PROJECT COMPONENTS • To enhance sustainability in the use of deep-sea living resources and biodiversity conservation in the ABNJ, through the systematic application of an Ecosystem Approach • Improved application of policy and legal frameworks Reducing adverse impacts on VMEs and EBSAs • Improved planning and adaptive management for ABNJ deep-sea fisheries • Development and testing of a methodology for area-based planning

  23. Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships Project -Introduction Project title (revised) Ocean Partnerships for Sustainable Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation - Models for Innovation and Reform • GEF Implementation Agency: • World Bank • Project Partners: • Conservation International • [Others] • Finance: • US$10m - GEF • US$30m - GPO, World Bank and other

  24. Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships -Scope ‘Coast to Coast’ Connectivity between coastal zones, EEZ and the ABNJ Areas within which fish and by-catch species (including aquatic animal and seabird biodiversity) migrate and are captured. • Fisheries seen as both a threat and opportunity to tackle biodiversity conservation and other development outcomes… • Unlocking the wealth of fisheries can ensure sustainable contributions to developing countries’ Triple Bottom Lines • Biodiversity & conservation • Economic growth • Welfare / food / jobs

  25. Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships -What will it do? Define up to six bankable RBM pilots which will…. …"develop and test technology and management arrangements for both pelagic and deep-sea environments and seamounts [...] in limited pilots that test a range of instruments including market and industry approaches“ (GEF strategy paper) • …be demonstrative, influential and transformational– fast tracked and able to inform GEF-6. • …contribute to both GEF (BD and IW) and GPO objectives

  26. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ Linking global and regional/national processes

  27. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • GEF Agency & Executing Partner • Partners: • Global Ocean Forum (Co‑ExecutingAgency) • Deep Sea Conservation Coalition • French Marine Protected Areas agency • IDDRI Institute for International Relations and SustainableDevelopment (France) • iMarine • UNESCO-IOC • UNESCO Natural Sciences Division • Nausicaä Centre National de la Mer (France) • World Ocean Network • OSPAR Commission • SeaOrbiter US $1 million from GEF for 5 years Co-funding estimate US$4 million

  28. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • OBJECTIVES • Facilitate cross-sectoral dialogue and coordination • Improve capacity development • Improve knowledge management and outreach

  29. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • CROSS-SECTORAL POLICY DIALOGUES • Cross-sectoral multi-stakeholder workshops • 2 planned: 2013, December 2014 High-level Dialogues at Major Relevant Ocean-related Meetings • World Fisheries Congress, 6th Global Ocean Conference, FAO COFI, 3rd International MPA Congress

  30. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT • Communities of Practice • Regional ABNJ Leaders Fellowship Program

  31. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND OUTREACH • Public Outreach Network • ABNJ Portal

  32. Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ • Next steps • Consultation process • Project formulation and consultations • Project • implementation • GEF Review • GEF Council November 2011 through December 2012 Winter 2013 2013-2017

  33. Conclusions

  34. What will the Programme achieve? The projects must lead to changes on the water: • who catches the fish • what they catch (… and what do they not catch) • how much they catch • how they catch it • where they catch it

  35. Thank You
