Abstract

An interdisciplinary team of academics and representatives of fishing fleets and government collaborated to study the emerging requirements for sustainability in Canada's fisheries. Fisheries assessment and management has focused on biological productivity with insufficient consideration of social (including cultural), economic, and institutional (governance) aspects. Further, there has been little discussion or formal evaluation of the effectiveness of fisheries management. The team of over 50 people (i) identified a comprehensive set of management objectives for a sustainable fishery system based on Canadian policy statements, (ii) combined objectives into an operational framework with relevant performance indicators for use in management planning, and (iii) undertook case studies that investigated some social, economic, and governance aspects in greater detail. The resulting framework extends the suite of widely accepted ecological aspects (productivity and trophic structure, biodiversity, and habitat-ecosystem integrity) to include comparable economic (viability and prosperity, sustainable livelihoods, distribution of access and benefits, regional-community benefits), social (health and well-being, sustainable communities, ethical fisheries), and institutional (legal obligations, good governance structure, effective decision-making) aspects of sustainability. This work provides a practical framework for implementation of a comprehensive approach to sustainability in Canadian fisheries. The project also demonstrates the value of co-construction of collaborative research and co-production of knowledge that combines and builds on the strengths of academics, industry, and government. Une equipe interdisciplinaire d'universitaires et de representants gouvernementaux et de flottes de peche a collabore a l'etude des nouvelles exigences en matiere de perennite des ressources halieutiques canadiennes. L'evaluation et la gestion de ces ressources ont mis l'accent sur la productivite biologique en ne tenant pas suffisamment compte d'aspects sociaux (y compris des aspects culturels), economiques et institutionnels (de gouvernance). L'efficacite de la gestion des peches a en outre fait l'objet de tres peu de discussions ou d'evaluations formelles. L'equipe composee de plus de 50 membres a (i) cerne un ensemble exhaustif d'objectifs de gestion pour un systeme de peches perenne reposant sur des enonces de principes canadiens, (ii) regroupe ces objectifs en un cadre operationnel comptant des indicateurs de rendement pertinents a utiliser dans la planification de la gestion et (iii) realise des etudes de cas pour examiner plus en detail certains aspects sociaux, economiques et de gouvernance. Le cadre en decoulant elargit l'ensemble des aspects ecologiques (productivite et structure trophique, biodiversite et integrite des habitats et ecosystemes) largement acceptes pour y inclure des aspects economiques (viabilite et prosperite, moyens de subsistance durables, repartition de l'acces et des benefices, avantages pour les regions-collectivites), sociaux (sante et bien-etre, collectivites durables, peches ethiques) et institutionnels (obligations legales, structure de bonne gouvernance, processus decisionnel efficace) comparables de la perennite. Ces travaux fournissent un cadre pratique pour la mise en oeuvre d'une approche integree visant la perennite des ressources halieutiques canadiennes. Le projet demontre egalement la valeur de la construction collective de recherches collaboratives et de la production collective de connaissances qui mettent en commun les forces des universitaires, de l'industrie et des gouvernements.

25. In-Service Workshop Model. Development Work, Volunteer Service and Project Review. Core Curriculum Resource Materials.

Author

Peace Corps, Washington, DC. Office of Programming and Training Coordination. and Edwards, Dan

Abstract

A model is provided for an inservice workshop to provide systematic project review, conduct individual volunteer support and problem solving, and conduct future work planning. Information on model use and general instructions are presented. Materials are provided for 12 sessions covering a 5-day period. The first session on climate setting and needs assessment and expectations is designed to uncover needs and problems. The next nine sessions are designed to address these problems. Specific topics are: project review of past 4 months; expectation mapping and project review; self and personal problem solving; cultural/community/coworker support issues; Peace Corps expectation and policy review; volunteer physical health; supportive issues related to peers, spouse, women's issues or men's issues; ministry support and role analysis; and development and change. The last two sessions are used for action planning for the next 6 months and to solicit feedback and assess the workshop. Each session is organized as follows: goals/objectives, time, procedures (the training activities suggested to accomplish the goals and the approximate time to complete each activity), and trainer notes that expand upon basic procedures and give alternatives. An optional session on information filtering is appended. (YLB)

26. Cross-Cultural Training for Peace Corps Volunteers. Core Curriculum Resource Materials. Manual TR-07.

Author

Peace Corps, Washington, DC. Information Collection and Exchange Div., McCaffery, James, and Edwards, Dan

Abstract

This manual contains materials to provide Peace Corps Volunteers with the skills to make the transition from one culture to another, to enter and become fluent in another culture, and to understand the current political, social, and religious context. The approach to training is "skill building" for continued learning. Introductory materials include the goals of cross-cultural preservice training, the themes of the manual and training, and trainer notes. Materials are provided for 10 sessions covering: developing a framework for cross-cultural training, transactional skills, sending and receiving information, discovering how to say "no," checking for understanding, dealing with ambiguity, nonverbal communication (two sessions), summarizing, and integrating the materials. The training sessions are designed to introduce skills in a step-by-step experiential learning format and to provide practice of the skill in a cross-cultural setting. Information provided in each session includes goals, an overview/rationale, procedures (training activities suggested to accomplish the goals of the session as well as the approximate time to complete each activity), and trainer notes. A cross-cultural workbook is appended. (YLB)

Abstract

The Working Group on Spatial Fisheries Data (WGSFD) focuses on collating and analysing spa-tial fisheries data in order to evaluate fishing effort, intensity, and frequency in European waters.ICES had issued a data call for aggregated VMS and logbook data for the years 2009–2018. In preparation to the meeting, the ICES secretariat in collaboration with WGSFD had prepared a Quality-Control document that processed submitted Member State data and generated indica-tors that were carefully scrutinized by the WGSFD chairs for quality. In case concern was raised, data submitters were consulted and asked to revise and resubmit data if necessary. Prior to the meeting a subgroup of WGSFD met via WebEx to review and quality check the aggregated data products. This revealed a small number of submissions had not been prepared in a manner con-sistent with the others. Subsequently, relevant data submitters were contacted and asked to re-vise and resubmit data. This substantially improved our understanding potentially outlying data and the data quality as a whole.The group was updated on a number of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), Automatic Identifica-tion System (AIS) and Logbook related projects which are ongoing at national labs, including presentations on the use of VMS to assist with spatial planning of measures to protect Natura 2000 sites, the changes evident in VMS data as a response to voluntary discard reduction pro-gramme, and spatial data from an experimental razor clam fishery.Members of WGSFD analysed produced maps of fishing activity in NEAFC areas using the VMS and logbook information collected by NEAFC. A product was once again delivered to the ICES Working Group on Deep-water Ecology (WGDEC), which was used in the assessment of fishing impact on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems.WGSFD also addressed Terms of Reference on the potential use of AIS to deliver information on the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) indicator D6C2 and explored means to collect the data required to parameterise the use of VMS as an indicator of effort in static gear fisheries, discussed the implications of moving to a finer spatial resolution in the data call, provided stra-tegic guidance to the Workshop on scoping benthic pressure layers D6C2 – methods to opera-tional data products (WKBEDPRES) on the use of AIS data.WGSFD retains its ambition to publish peer-reviewed research. One term of reference dealing with quantification and spatiotemporal variability of fishing fleets is making good progress to-wards this aim. A second paper on best practices for analysis of VMS data, which was started under the previous terms of reference, was paused whilst details surrounding protection of fish-ers’ anonymity were resolved. This issue was addressed by WGSFD at this meeting, and work is continuing to define best practice.
