Descripción
The Regional Workshop on Recreational Fisheries in Central Asia (Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan, 14-16 September 2009) was organized in response to needs expressed in various national fi sheries sector review studies in Central Asia. The workshop was attended by representatives from four of the fi ve Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) and some international recreational fi sheries experts. The workshop conclusions, amongst others, were that on average so me 10 percent of the population in Central Asia is involved in recreational fi sheries (including leisure- and sport fi sheries); recreational fi sheries harvests provide a signifi cant contribution to food security (qualitative and quantitative) in remote rural areas; recreational fi sheries stakeholders continue to have problems being recognized as an equal partner by other resource users; in the preservation of aquatic biodiversity the role of fi shing and hunting associations and s ocieties in Central Asia is of great importance; and that the Code of Practice for Recreational Fisheries, as endorsed by the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC) in 2008, is largely applicable also for the situation in Central Asia. The workshop also made recommendations for follow-up by governments, recreational fi sheries organizations and international development agencies.
