This document discusses fisheries co-management, which involves sharing management power and responsibilities between government and local fishing communities. Co-management aims to provide a forum for participation in rule-making, decision-making, and knowledge sharing between resource users and government. It can vary in the level of control communities have and depends on legal frameworks and community organization. The document outlines definitions of co-management, categories of co-management approaches, advantages like more sustainable resource use and social empowerment, limitations, and factors that affect successful co-management.
Fishing is the art of catching fish and other aquatic animals. Many years ago man started using various type of gear used for hunting the terrestrial animals and for fishing also. It is very difficult to say which started first, but some time it is opined that fishing is younger. Reason behind it is easy to catch animals in the land than in the water. In olden days fishing was not having much importance as there was no demand for fish. Earlier fishing was restricted to a particular community but it is not so now. In order to meet the increased demand, fishing is now carried out industrially. Fishing technology not only concerns fishing gear, fishing methods and vessels but also concern Biological and Environmental factors

Traditional fishing Craft of India by Ashish sahuAshish sahu
Fishing crafts are most essential for catching the fish in large scale in water bodies. A large variety of crafts (boats) have been designed for marine and inland fishing in India. The types of fishing crafts of India falls under two general categories. These are Non –mechanized and mechanized fishing crafts.
Based on the topographical variations and difference in habits and habitats of fishing, different types of crafts and gears are used in various inland water system of India. The simplest and most primitive types of craft used for fishing in inland water are the rafts and songas, operated in calm water. In the larger rivers and estuaries subject to strong current and tidal movement, sturdier plank boats are used.

Fishing gears are commonly classified into two main categories: passive and active. This classification is based on the relative behavior of the target species and the fishing gear.
Almost any equipment or gear used in fishing can be called fishing tackle, examples being hooks, lines, baits/lures, rods, reels, floats, sinkers/feeders, nets, stringers/keepnets/live wells, spears, gaffs, traps, waders, and tackle boxes, as well as any wire, snaps, beads, spoons, blades, spinners, clevises and tools
Trawl nets and bottom seines possess an initial selectiveness owing to their particular design and mode of operation. A mesh size limitation would vary considerably in effect from one type of trawl net to another. It is important therefore to consider gear selectivity and performance before we begin to think of mesh sizes and their effect.
Take a herring vinge trawl for example and two other bottom other trawls like the granton trawl and the shrimp trawl. All use otter boards, all are on the sea bed throughout the duration of the tow and all have the same basic structure of wings, square, bellies, bag and cod end. But their performances differ as much as those of a racing car, a truck and a tractor. All three nets could be fishing in the same area, yet the vinge trawl might take only herring, the granton trawl only demersal fish and the shrimp trawl primarily shrimp or prawn. Mesh size has little to do with this species selection. It is a function of other aspects of gear performance - speed of tow, headline height, ground contact, flow of water through the body of the net, otter door spread, length of ground-cables, and so on. The vinge trawl would have the smallest mesh in the cod end, yet it would take no cod, haddock or shrimp. The shrimp or prawn trawl would have a smaller mesh than the granton trawl yet it would capture only a small proportion of the bigger fish the granton trawl would take. To imagine that in these cases the size of mesh controls the size of fish caught would be as simplistic as to think that the respective speeds of the racing car, truck and tractor were determined by the size of their wheels.
In contrast to the trawls designed to capture one species or group of species, there are the multi-species trawls or combination trawls which take a great variety of fish. The North Sea prawn and fish trawl is a combination net designed to capture Nephrops norvegicus or Norway prawns, plus demersal fish like cod, haddock, skate, monks, plaice and lemon sole. Most bottom trawls in the tropics and sub-tropics are multi-species trawls taking fish which vary greatly from each other in size and shape. There is no common selectivity factor and no common minimum size or length for the various species. For these fisheries, a mesh regulation is at best an inadequate means of reducing juvenile mortality. It can be aimed only at the smallest of the main commercial species.

This means that at all stages of the Watershed development intervention, communities are involved with and retain ownership of any Watershed development action.
Natural Resource Federalism: Considerations for Myanmar 23 JANUARY 2018MYO AUNG Myanmar
Myanmar is undergoing political, economic and social transitions. Peace negotiations involving the government, military and ethnic armed groups have led to an agreement—in principle—to move towards a federal union. This could have major implications for natural resource governance. Historically, national institutions have primarily been responsible for managing the country’s resources. However, demands for more subnational control are widespread.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. What is fisheries co-management?
• Co-management is a participatory and flexible management strategy
that provides and maintains a forum or structure for action on
participation, rule making, conflict management, power sharing,
leadership, dialogue, decision-making, negotiation, knowledge
generation and sharing, learning, and development among resource
users, and government.
• The level of co-management depends on the ability for a community
to control its own resources, the degree possible within the legal
system, the ability for fishers to coordinate and organize. Co-mgmt
assumes an equal access to information, with community having
traditional knowledge and government having access to academic
knowledge.
3. • Collaborative management, or co-management, has been defined
as ‘the sharing of power and responsibility between the government
and local resource users’ (Berkes et al.,1991: 12). Singleton (1998:
7)defines co-management as ‘the term given to governance systems
that combine state control with local, decentralized decision making
and accountability and which, ideally, combine the strengths and
mitigate the weaknesses of each.
• The World Bank has defined co-management as ‘the sharing of
responsibilities, rights and duties between the primary stakeholders,
in particular local communities and the nation state; a decentralized
approach to decision-making that involves the local users in the
decision-making process as equals with the nation-state’ (The World
Bank, 1999: 11)
• Co-management can be understood as ‘a situation in which two or
more social actors negotiate, define and guarantee amongst
themselves a fair sharing of the management functions,
entitlements and responsibilities for a given territory, area or set of
natural resources’ (Borrini-Feyerabend et al., 2000: 1).
7. • In the instructive type, there is only minimal exchange of information
between Government and users. This type of co-management regime is
only different from Centralise management in the sense that the
mechanisms exist for dialogue with users, but the process itself tends to be
government informing users on the decisions they plan to make
8. Participatory fisheries management
• Participatory fisheries management in the
context of a globalizing economy is a dynamic
process where fishing communities, the society
at large and the state together take careful
decisions to regulate access to coastal
environment and resources for sustaining the
ecological, economic and social viability of
fisheries
• Depends on the structure, composition and the
institutional dynamics of community-statesociety interactions
• Not an easy task
9. Why Co-management?
• Search for better management approaches
– Ineffective centralized fisheries management is the need to change the
structure of governance. Fishers can no longer depend on government to
solve their problem
– Conventional fisheries management approach has been widely called
part of the problem rather than of the solution of resource exploitation,
– The crisis in fisheries and coastal community is pressuring national
governments to look for alternative management strategies, (Many gov.
view co-management as a way to deal with the crisis)
10. What is co-management good for?
Pinkerton (1989)has discussed a number of tasks that
can more easily be accomplished by establishing well
functioning co-management systems:
(1) Data gathering,
(2) Logistical decisions such as who can harvest and when,
(3) Allocation decisions,
(4) Protection of resource from environmental damage,
(5) Enforcement of regulations,
(6) Enhancement of long-term planning, and
(7) More inclusive decision-making.
11. Seven steps of participation –
level of co-management
1.
Informing:
2.
Consultative:
3.
4.
Cooperative:
Communicative:
5.
Advisory:
6.
Partnership:
7.
Community Control:
Community is informed about decision that the
government has already made.
Mechanism exists for government to consult
with fishers: gov. make decision
Community has input into management
Two-way information exchange: local
concerns are represented in management
plans
User advise government of decisions to be
taken and government endorses these
decisions
Partnership of equals with joint decisionmaking
Power delegated to community to make
decisions and inform government of these
decisions
12. Categories of Co-management
1. Community-centered Co-management
•
people-centered, community-oriented, resource-based and
partnership-based
•
Seems to be found most often in developing countries
•
More complex, costly and time consuming to implement.
2. Stakeholder-centered Co-management
•
More common in developed countries,
•
Emphasis on getting the users participating in the resource
management process.
•
Could be characterized as government-industry partnership.
•
Little or no attention is given to community development
and social empowerment of fishers.
17. • More open, transparent autonomous management
process
• Minimize social conflict and maintain social
cohesion: compliance with rules and regulations
• Create ownership and allow fishers take
responsibility for number of managerial functions,
allowing the community to develop flexible and
creative management strategies that meet fishers’
needs and local condition
• Adaptive management: lesson learn and adjustment
• Through the process, communities (individual) are
empowering knowledge, cognitive and practical skill
• Can make maximum use of indigenous knowledge
and expertise
19. • More economical than centralized
system, less spend on admin… and
enforcement.
• Sustainable
income
from
fishing
occupation.
20. Limitations of Co-management
• May not be suitable for every fishing community.
• Require leadership and appropriate local institution which may
not exist in some communities.
• The risk involved in changing fisheries management strategies
may be too high for some communities and fishers.
• The cost for individuals to participate in co-management
strategies (time, money) may outweigh the expected benefits.
• Sufficient political will may not exist.
• No guarantee that a community will organize itself into an
effective governing institution.
• Particular local resource characteristics, such as fish migratory
patterns, may make it impossible for the community to
manage the resource.
21. Conditions Affecting the Success of
Fisheries Co-management
• Supra-community Level
– Policy support: Administration Arrangement and facilitating comanagement
– Legal support: Legal right to organize and implement co-management
– External agents: understanding and willingness.
22. • Community Level
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Clear defined boundaries,
Clear defined membership,
Group cohesion,
Participation by those effected (inclusivity)
Cooperation and leadership at community level,
Empowerment,
Use rights over the resource,
Partnerships and having sense of ownership of the co-management, and
Strong co-management institution.
23. • Individual Level
– Individual incentive structure is responded
– Credible rules and effective enforcement
24. Objective of Co-management
1. Supported policy and legal framework
2. Co-management Institution:
• Management roles and functions: who to do what.
• Rules and regulations: how to do it.
• Legitimacy by law and represented community
3. Co-management Mechanism:
• Floor to play the roles of co-managers
• Interaction between co-managers: partnership
• Transparence: dialogue and participatory
• Building up trust among each other
• Learning process and adaptive management
• Co-management is a process/ approach to achieve something.
• Co-management is an end product of doing something.
