Descripción
In November 1977, the Government of Sri Lanka requested assistance from FAO in the formulation of policies for the best utilization of the fishery resources within the EEZ and to formulate a strategy for negotiations with neighboring countries and private foreign interests. Accordingly, the Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme (IOP) assigned a consultant to study the situation and report to the Government of Sri Lanka. He arrived in Sri Lanka on 24 November 1977 and departed on 21 December. In this time, he had a number of discussions with members of the administration, private investors, locally based international staff of FAO and of the Asian Development Bank. Moreover he attended the "Symposium on the development of offshore and deep-sea fishing in Sri Lanka", held in Colombo 29 and 30 November.
