| dc.description | Although fishery production in Asia and the Pacific which accounts for over 63 percent of world production continues to rise, a study conducted by FAO on the sustainable contribution of fisheries to food security points to alarming shortages in the near future in a number of Asia-Pacific subregions. In response to this challenge, the 16 members of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) unanimously agreed during their twenty-sixth session in Beijing (1997) that the Commission should assist m embers to move closer towards sustainable fishery development and management. Five years later the Commission is intensifying its efforts to respond effectively to changing requirements in fisheries. As part of this undertaking a website [www.APFIC.fao.org] has been launched and this handbook has been produced to better link members to other fisheries organizations and projects in the region. The handbook provides data on 36 bodies/arrangements, including contact details, area of competence, me mbership, objectives and information resources on the web. | |
