The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) has identified aquaculture as a sector with potential to stimulate economic growth, jobs, and food security in member countries. However, aquaculture remains underdeveloped aside from some commercial production. CRFM has developed a five-year action plan for aquaculture development supported by a study confirming its potential economic and social contributions. The growth of aquaculture has been limited by high costs, lack of research and development, policies and legislation, and impacts of weather events. CRFM aims to promote sustainable aquaculture growth through increased investment, improved technology, support services, and policies to increase production and earnings in the region.
Ghana has potential to increase fish production through aquaculture to meet demand. A study by Dr. Ansah and Dr. Frimpong analyzed the economic impact of adopting best management practices (BMPs) of using commercial floating fish feed in tilapia pond culture. Their research found that commercial floating feed increased fish yields by 100% compared to traditional sinking feed and increased profitability. Modeling adoption rates, they estimated the net present value of widespread BMP adoption in Ghanaian aquaculture to be US$85 million over 20 years, providing economic and social benefits to producers and consumers.
This document discusses a study on the identification and assessment of problems faced by local stakeholders engaged in brackish water fisheries in Sandeshkhali I Block, West Bengal, India. The study area has a large area of brackish water suitable for shrimp and fish farming. Six categories of local stakeholders were identified and surveyed to understand the key problems in the brackish water fishery. The results identified high mortality rates, lack of disease screening, unfair practices, lack of infrastructure, and financial issues as the major problems reported by the local stakeholders. The author recommends addressing these problems to improve the livelihoods of local communities dependent on the brackish water fishery.
The document summarizes India's various five year plans from the 8th to the 12th plan, with a focus on objectives, achievements and programs in the fisheries sector.

The 11th plan targeted 10% GDP growth by 2012 and included goals for education, health, employment and infrastructure. The 12th plan's objective was 9
Regional Water Scarcity Initiative: Towards a Collaborative StrategyNENAwaterscarcity
This paper summarizes the main themes and recommendations of the document Regional Water
Scarcity Initiative: Towards a Collaborative Strategy prepared as part of FAO’s ‘Regional Initiative
on Water Scarcity’ in Near East and North Africa (NENA). The Regional Collaborative Strategy will
complement and complete existing initiatives, will seek structured mechanisms to address water
scarcity beyond the national level and will provide an agricultural water lens to the ‘Arab Water
Security Strategy’ (2010-30). After discussing the challenges and responses for a sustainable water
resources management and related food security in NENA, the document puts forward an agenda for
a comprehensive reform, including a number of options, and indicates innovative implementation
modalities, including: evidence-based decision-making processes through benchmarking, monitoring,
evaluation and reporting; sound governance and institutions, including decentralization of agriculture
water management and empowerment of farmers and farmers groups as full partners, food producers
and ultimate managers of soil and water resources; synergies in innovation and learning based on
exchange of solutions amongst practitioners within and outside the Region; and all-inclusive multistakeholder
approach to changes. The collaborative regional strategy will be implanted through
regional and national action plans, supported by FAO and Partners.

The document describes a training program undergone by two students at the National Institute of Fisheries Post Harvest Technology and Training in Cochin, Kerala from January 19th to February 2nd, 2016. The training covered fish processing techniques like canning of tuna meat, value-added product development from marine fish, and microbiological analysis of fish and fishery products. Specifically, the students learned about the canning process and operations involved, from preparation and washing of raw materials to filling, sealing, sterilization and storage of canned products. They also received hands-on experience in preparing value-added fish products like cutlets, pickles and wafers.
Fisheries and aquaculture play an important role in India by providing food, income, and livelihoods to millions. India is the second largest fish producer and aquaculture nation globally. The government has taken several steps to develop the fisheries and aquaculture sector, including establishing agencies to support fish farmers, research institutions, and a national development board. More recently, the Prime Minister's Matsya Sampada Yojana was launched with the goal of increasing fish production to 22 million tons by 2024-25. Fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the Indian economy and are an important source of nutrition, employment, and exports.
This document summarizes the trends in global fisheries and efforts to promote sustainable seafood through certification and consumer awareness campaigns. It discusses how rising demand for seafood led to overexploitation of fish stocks, with 30% of stocks now fully exploited and 40% overexploited. In response, certification programs like MSC and campaigns by NGOs aim to educate consumers and incentivize sustainable fishing. While these efforts face challenges, signs of success include more fisheries seeking certification and reduced environmental impacts from certified fisheries. Increased demand for sustainable seafood also indicates consumer awareness campaigns have achieved some objectives.

Roxas City, the Seafood Capital of the Philippines: Myth or Fact? IIJSRJournal
The purpose of this study attempts to prove the branding of Roxas City, which is part of the Province of Capiz, like the Seafood Capital of the Philippines. The researchers utilized secondary data from the Fisheries Statistics of the Philippines from 2007 to 2017 through time-series analysis. The study was on the determination of the performance of the Province of Capiz in the type of production on Commercial, Marine Municipal, Inland Municipal, and Aquaculture its volume and value at the same time knowing the performance on various species and determine who are the top fisheries producing Provinces by sector from 2007 to 2017. Results of the study revealed that the volume and value in the fishing industry in commercial, marine municipal, inland municipal in the Province of Capiz was decreasing. The researchers observed that the Capiz is not part of the top producing province in the Philippines. However, the volume and value in the aquaculture industry were increasingly focused on different species such as milkfish, mud crab, mussel, oyster, tiger prawn, white shrimp, and endeavor prawn. If the basis of the City of Roxas to become the Seafood Capital of the Philippines is in volume and value across industry types, the claim is a myth.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has collaborated with the
Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business Adams Aquafarms, on a
project to train persons in aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based
fish farming with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to
coexist, with the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the
water for the fish. The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility,
located at Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30
entrepreneurs and 10 teachers. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk
Humphrey, believes the project will be "transformative", as it has the potential to empower
Barbadians. "In aquaponics, you have the opportunity to have, at the same time, multiple sources
of income [because] you're getting plant production and fish to eat," he said, adding that he
would like the project to be expanded to include the average Barbadian. Reiterating that the
development of the fisheries and agricultural sectors were key in Government's vision for a "new
Barbados", Minister Humphrey said aquaponics would be beneficial, especially to those who live
in areas too limited for medium or largescale farming. The FAO's Regional Project Coordinator
at CC4FISH, Iris Monnereau, expressed a similar view, pointing out the aquaponics was well-
suited for Barbados and the wider Caribbean, in light of water scarcity and persistent drought
conditions. "It uses 90 per cent less water than traditional forms of agriculture .... It is a very
efficient form of agriculture. It also doesn't use fertilizer and has the added benefit of producing
fish," Ms. Monnereau explained. She added that the project was part of the FAO's vision to
promote climate resilient farming, while ensuring the establishment and sustainability of
profitable agribusinesses in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, owner of Adams Aquafarms, Kristina
Adams, said she was pleased to partner with the Food and Agriculture Organization on the
initiative. She was also optimistic about its success, noting that while there was growing interest
in aquaponics, access to technical support locally was an obstacle for many. According to Ms.

Traditional strategies supporting ocean conservation and protection of fisheries have most often involved political advocacy, community engagement, and media campaigns that target protection of charismatic species and threatened habitats. In recent years, actors seeking to protect ocean environments have increasingly turned to market-based policies and incentives to better align commercial and conservation objectives. These strategies have included certification schemes, the emergence of eco-brands, small investment funds, and consumer-marketing efforts that generate greater demand for sustainably sourced seafood. Market principles also shape the use of rights-based fisheries management, or “catch share” systems, which attempt to integrate property rights into fishing access as a way to incentivize better long-term resource stewardship.
To the American people I say, awaken to what is happening. It is the duty of each citizen to be vigilant, to protect liberty, to speak out, left and right and disagree lest be trampled underfoot by misguided zealotry and extreme partisanship.
~ United States Senator Robert Byrd from West Virginia
San Diego's seafood story is great, especially given our fishermen’s contribution to a healthy ocean eco-system. We are leading the world in seafood sustainability, giving us a story that few if any other places in the world can tell, and too few San Diegans know.

FAO-Funded Aquaponics Project Launched In Barbados Barbados GIS - The United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime
Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train
persons in aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based fish farming
with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to coexist, with
the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the water for the fish.
The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility, located at Adams
Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs and 10
teachers. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the
project will be "transformative", as it has the potential to empower Barbadians. "In aquaponics,
you have the opportunity to have, at the same time, multiple sources of income [because] you're
getting plant production and fish to eat," he said, adding that he would like the project to be
expanded to include the average Barbadian. Reiterating that the development of the fisheries and
agricultural sectors were key in Government's vision for a "new Barbados", Minister Humphrey
said aquaponics would be beneficial, especially to those who live in areas too limited for medium
or largescale farming. The FAO's Regional Project Coordinator at CC4FISH, Iris Monnereau,
expressed a similar view, pointing out the aquaponics was well-suited for Barbados and the
wider Caribbean, in light of water scarcity and persistent drought conditions. "It uses 90 per cent
less water than traditional forms of agriculture .... It is a very efficient form of agriculture. It also
doesn't use fertilizer and has the added benefit of producing fish," Ms. Monnereau explained. She
added that the project was part of the FAO's vision to promote climate resilient farming, while
ensuring the establishment and sustainability of profitable agribusinesses in the Caribbean.
Meanwhile, owner of Adams Aquafarms, Kristina Adams, said she was pleased to partner with
the Food and Agriculture Organization on the initiative. She was also optimistic about its
success, noting that while there was growing interest in aquaponics, access to technical support

Management briefing from Innovation Forum on seafood and aquaculture sustainability, highly relevant for the US market and global companies working in seafood sustainability and CSR.
Aquaculture production will need to increase substantially to meet rising global demand for fish. By 2030, aquaculture will need to produce 30 million additional tons per year compared to current production levels. While aquaculture growth has slowed slightly in recent decades, continuing at around 6-7% annually, it is still expected to surpass capture fisheries as the primary source of fish for human consumption in the near future. Small-scale farmers currently produce a large percentage of aquaculture worldwide but often struggle to access international markets. Greater organization and coordination will be needed for small producers to effectively supply growing global trade in seafood. Environmental sustainability and responsible use of resources like fishmeal will also be important challenges for the aquac

Audit success comes from service, not from status. The true standards of audit practice are found within the auditor's character: honesty, integrity, self control and high ethical values. The printed standards are merely guidelines for trying to make the art of auditing into a profession. - Michael L. Piazza
Auditors must develop a reputation that proclaims that they know what they are doing... that their reviews are factual and unbiased... that they deserve to be respected... that they are professionals with professional qualifications. A fundamental key to audit success is the reputation for objectivity. That implies independence from activities reviewed. Complete independence is an unattainable goal while practical independence is not only possible but absolutely essential. - Larry Sawyer

The document discusses the issue of graffiti and whether it should be considered art or vandalism. It describes an event at the University of Hawaii where the campus newspaper encouraged students to draw on newsstands, but this led to other objects being tagged as well. While some see graffiti as a form of artistic expression, under Hawaii law it is considered illegal vandalism to mark public or private property without permission. Reports from 2020-2021 indicate the mobile medical clinic van from the University of Hawaii medical school was vandalized multiple times, showing graffiti continues to be a problem. Understanding the root causes and different types of graffiti may help address the issue more effectively.
The document discusses the need for vaccines and exit strategies to end the COVID-19 crisis. It highlights research at the University of Hawaii that shows promise for a COVID-19 vaccine.

If further research is successful, this could provide a path towards resolving the global pandemic.
It's no secret that the healthcare system needs some work. In fact, it's not really a system at all. It's confusing, it's difficult to navigate, and it's too expensive. When you combine that with some of the demographic trends that you see in our country — the population is getting older, we're experiencing more chronic disease — it gets even more complicated and more expensive. And consumer expectations are changing dramatically as well. So, this creates an opportunity for an organization like ours to lead this digital transformation.

Foreign imports make up 90 percent of the seafood Americans consume.
Their foothold in the market is even evident in Hawaii, where the state's aquaculture industry
is struggling to grow. HAWAII SHRIMP AND FISH FARMERS SAID THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO NEW ENTERPRISES ARE CHOKING STATE AND
FEDERAL REGULATIONS ― a bureaucratic structure that largely doesn't apply to foreign
imports.
Randy Cates of Cates International said there is a great market for pure and fresh seafood
raised in Hawaii, but the local and national government pose bureaucratic roadblocks. “THE
BIGGEST OBSTACLE IS PERMISSION. IT'S NOT FINANCING, IT'S NOT HIGH
LABOR COSTS, IT'S NOT THE HEALTH STANDARDS,” he said.
Sixteen years ago, Cates floated huge cages off Ewa and eventually harvested tons of moi
every day. Like many other aquaculture and mariculture enterprises in Hawaii, it didn't last.
But with lessons learned he'd like to try again at a new site off the reef runway of Honolulu
Airport. “I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR FIVE YEARS, HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ON
THE SITE AND I STILL DON'T HAVE PERMISSION TO DO IT.” Cates said.

2. THE PACIFIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION (PSMFC)
Established in 1947 by consent of Congress, the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission
(PSMFC) is an interstate compact agency that helps resource agencies and the fishing industry
sustainably manage our valuable Pacific Ocean resources in a five-state region. Member
states include California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. Each represented by three
Commissioners.
Mission. As stated by the governing compact, PSMFC's purpose shall be “to promote the
better utilization of fisheries – marine, shell, and anadromous, which are of mutual concern,
and to develop a joint program of protection and prevention of physical waste of such fisheries
in all of those areas of the Pacific Ocean over which the compacting states jointly or
separately now have or may hereafter acquire jurisdiction.”
Primary Goal. PSMFC's primary goal is to promote and support policies and actions to
conserve, develop, and manage our fishery resources in California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Alaska. We accomplish this through coordinating research activities, monitoring
fishing activities, and facilitating a wide variety of projects. We work to collect data and
maintain databases on salmon, steelhead, and other marine fish for fishery managers and the
fishing industry.
Pacific Marine Pilot Projects: In 2017 PSMFC entered into an agreement with the NOAA
Fisheries Office of Aquaculture to support ESTABLISHING OR EXPANDING REGIONAL
PILOT PROJECTS FOR MARINE AQUACULTURE FOR THE U.S. WEST COAST
STATES OF ALASKA, CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON, AS WELL AS
HAWAII AND U. S. PACIFIC ISLANDS. NOAA has similar agreements in place with the

RFP Issue Date: November 12, 2019
Deadline for RFP Submissions: December 27, 2019
<https://www.psmfc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/PSMFC-Pilot-Aquaculture-RFP-
FINAL-2020-IV.pdf>
Summary. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), in cooperation and
funding from the NOAA Fisheries Office of Aquaculture, will be issuing approximately
$690,000 in grants to fund marine aquaculture pilot projects focusing on sustainable aquatic
farming techniques and regional business practices to grow U.S. domestic seafood.
Background. Over 85% of seafood consumed in the United States is imported and, of that
amount, it has been estimated that more than half is from overseas aquaculture. The United
States ranks only seventeenth in the world in aquaculture production despite possessing the
largest exclusive economic zone in the world. To address the major lost opportunity for job
creation in coastal communities and to encourage the development of a domestic seafood
supply, the three interstate marine fisheries commissions, with funding from NOAA fisheries,
is seeking proposals to conduct regional pilot programs for partnerships between the seafood
industry and community partners.
3. The goal of these pilot programs will be to develop, validate and deploy economically and
environmentally sustainable aquatic farming techniques and regional business practices to
grow U.S. domestic seafood production. To maximize the impact of these pilot grants, we are
giving priority consideration to promising but less commercially developed technologies, such
as those targeting shellfish, seaweed, and other relative newcomers to the domestic
aquaculture industry.

RESOURCES/ADVANTAGES THAT HAWAII HAVE FOR AQUACULTURE GROWTH
HDOA <https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aquaculture-and-livestock-support-services-branch/>
NATURAL RESOURCES: the Islands most important natural resources are its diverse
climate, 600,000 acres of suitable land with access to water, approximately 143,000 acres of
coastal lands having potential for mariculture, and abundant supplies of fresh, brackish and
salt water. Because of the wide variety of micro-climates, farmers have the potential to grow
virtually any aquaculture species somewhere in the state.
TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE: Hawaii is fortunate to be a world center of aquaculture
expertise in a wide variety of species and technologies. Public and private research
organizations have pioneered the development of extensive, semi-intensive and intensive
culture systems and regularly consult around the world. Local entities have extensive expertise
in the spawning and rearing of mullet, milkfish, freshwater prawns, marine finfish, and marine
shrimp. Several companies specialize in the production and sale of certified disease-free
shrimp broodstock and seedstock, and oyster and clam seed stock. In addition, Hawaii is home
to leading technology companies in microalgae and seaweed production. The level of
cooperation between researchers, extension personnel and commercial producers in the local
community is exceptional.
4. HUMAN RESOURCES: the high level of resident technical expertise and the general
sophistication of the labor force available to high technology businesses are noteworthy for
Hawaii’s aquaculture development. University of Hawaii has over 100 faculties in
aquaculture-related disciplines, and the state has the highest per capita concentration of private
consultants in the U.S., with several firms among the leaders in the world.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: the State Department of Agriculture has low-interest loans for
commercial aquaculture, if you meet certain qualifications. Other funding sources include
commercial banks, the Production Credit Association, the USDA Rural Development Agency,
and the Small Business Administration. Hawaii is also rapidly developing a pool of angle
investors and venture capitalists that is increasingly interested in high technology aquaculture
projects and a new State law provides generous tax incentives for these technology
investments.
LARGE LOCAL SEAFOOD DEMAND: Hawaii has one of the most sophisticated seafood
markets in the U.S. with per capita consumption at 2.3 times of national average of 16 pounds
in 2010. New farmers can establish a strong footing in Hawaii before seeking expansion
nationally and internationally.
WORLD FAMOUS TOURIST DESTINATION: over 9 million tourists vacation in Hawaii
every year. Besides Hawaii's breathtaking nature, the tourists are also introduced to Hawaii's
culture and its products. Local seafood is highly sought after by visitors. Hawaii’s aquaculture
industry has a very favorable environment to grow and gain worldwide recognition thanks for
the visitors who share their experiences with families and friends. Jointly promoting Hawaii’s
tourism and aquaculture products can produce good synergy, which is a unique advantage for
Hawaii.

CUTTING THROUGH THE RED TAPE AND LENGTHY BURDENSOME
CERIFICATION PROCESS REQUIRES ACTION BY THE GOVERNOR
ACT 230 SIGNED BY GOVERNOR DAVID IGE, JULY 13, 2015
5. Note, Supplied. Act 230 is directed to restoration of Native Hawaiian Fishponds, the permitting process applies
equally to aquaculture operations. The substance of Act 230 should be the template to streamline the process
managed by the Department of Agriculture,
The legislature finds that the repair or restoration of Hawaiian loko i'a (fishponds) may require
permits from the department of land and natural resources, department of health, office of
planning, federal agencies, and county agencies. The legislature further finds that the permit
processfor repair or restoration of loko i'a may be time-consuming, complicated, confusing,
and inconsistent across agencies. Burdensome regulations and permit requirements have
historically prevented community organizations or native Hawaiian lawai'a (aquaculturalists)
from initiating projects to restore, repair, or maintain loko i'a. In practice, it has reportedly
taken up to ten years to obtain the certifications and permits required for loko i'a restoration
and repair by state and federal law, including the Clean Water Act and the Coastal Zone
Management Act. For example, sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act require first a
water quality certification and permit from the department of health and then a permit from
the Army Corps of Engineers before loko i'a activities may proceed. Government and
community interests have demonstrated their willingness and ability to work together to
streamline the permit process for Hawaiian loko i'a. Pursuant to Senate Resolution No. 86
(2012), the department of land and natural resources, office of planning, and department of
health have led these efforts, including coordination with cultural practitioners, community
groupsI and affected federal and county agencies. The department of land and natural
resources is in the final stages of implementing a statewide programmatic general permit and
programmatic agreement that would allow most applicants for loko i'a restoration and repair
permits to submit a single permit application for review by an interagency advisory group and
relevant resource agencies instead of a series of single-agency applications. Upon the
appropriate findings by the advisory group, the department of land and natural resources
would be able to issue the applicant an authorization to proceed. After a final thirty-day
comment period, the permit would be issued and the applicant may conduct restoration and
repair activities in compliance with existing environmental protection and other laws,
including the Clean Water Act. The purpose of this Act is to ensure that the statewide
programmatic general permit and programmatic agreement function as intended by specifying
that a permit applicant that has received notice of authorization to proceed from the
department of land and natural resources is not required to obtain additional water quality
certification from the department of health. The legislature finds that the intent of this Act is to
improve state government efficiency and response time in the administration of water
pollution control. It is not the intent of the legislature to limit or impede state environmental
controls on water pollution.
