| dc.description | Under Phase I of the UNDP/FAO Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project (RAS/86/024), a Regional Seafarming Resources Atlas was prepared as the step to a sequential process to develop national coastal resources management atlases and information systems. One of the objectives of the Seafarming Project was to formulate guidelines for the establishment of national management systems for rational and orderly development of the seafarming industry in the region. To achieve the obje ctive of establishing such systems, a coordinated and integrated approach involving various disciplines and sectors of the national economy is required for identifying and assessing seafarming development potential, formulating regulations to protect and control seafarming activities, and resolving conflicts among users of coastal resources. The identification and assessment of the potential of seafarming resources are a prerequisite for seafarming development planning. Coastal resources mappi ng through conventional field surveys, integrated with the use of remote sensing and geographical information systems where appropriate, will serve as an essential tool for the planning of coastal resources management and utilization. With the extension of the Seafarming Project (RAS/90/002) additional countries in the region joined. This necessitated the preparation of Volume II of the atlas to accommodate five of these countries, which provided the required data. The volume presents a broad overall view of the seafarming industry in these countries, including production data, culture methods, areas of culture, yields per culture units, status and constraints of all major marine species commercially cultured in the region. The national small-scale maps portray the various seafarming practices, culture systems, and the distribution of major marine groups (viz. finfishes, molluscs, crustaceans and seaweeds) which are commercially cultured. | |
