Descripción
This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline information on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of Orissa, India. It could serve as an introduction to the subject, leading to deeper studies of particular aspects; as a source of general information; or more particularly, as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. The paper has been prepared by Mr. U. Tietze, Extension Training Off icer of the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme, in cooperation with the Directorate of Fisheries, Orissa. It revises and updates a document issued in June 1977 by the FAO/UNDP project RAS/74/031, “Development of small-scale fisheries in South-West Asia.” The BOBP’s small-scale fisheries project began in 1979 from Madras. It is executed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) and funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority). It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal - Bangladesh; India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Its main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in the five countries.
