Resumen
Descripción
The Government of Thailand requested FAO to mount a multidisciplinary mission for the purpose of reviewing the implications of recent developments in the Regime of the Sea for the fisheries of Thailand. The mission visited Thailand from 1 to 16 December 1977 and the report contains the mission’s findings and recommendations. Thailand’s major problem is the fact that in view of the proclamation of EEZ by its neighboring countries the fishing grounds exploited so far by the national fishermen are becoming inaccessible to them. The report reviews the approximate losses to the Thai fisheries in terms of decreased catch and recommends measures to be taken to control Thailand’s fishing effort as well as actions and projects aimed at increasing fish production to counter-balance the already visible decline of fish landings from marine waters.
