In order to facilitate the process of improving vessel registration and promote dialogue between relevant institutions in the region and added to the work plan of the initiative, from 30 June to 2 July 2008, SEAFDEC with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) organized the “Expert Meeting on Fishing Vessel Registration” in Phuket, Thailand. The meeting aimed to review the existing registration systems in the region (large and small scale), to discuss problems and benefits linked to existing systems, to follow up on the requirements for vessel registration for fisheries management in respective countries.
TD promoted the result of its research on wind energy for fishing operation by demonstrating and organizing a training course on Sailing Fishing Boat for Small Scale Fishery in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries, Thailand from 3 to 5 June 2008 at Nakonsrithammarat Province. The main objective of the training was to promote the utilization of wind energy to reduce fishing costs. Thirty fishermen from Nakonsrithammarat Province participated and joined the practice of sailing boat control. Moreover, TD distributed sails to fishermen who participated in the training course for them to experiment on the use of boat sails in their fishing operations. Wind energy is a means to reduce the cost of fuel in fishing operations.
SEAFDEC/TD in collaboration with the UNEP/GEF/SCS organized the Regional Training Workshop on Larval Fish Identification and Fish Early Life History Science (Advance Course) from 26 May to 15 June 2008 at the SEAFDEC Training Department in Samut Prakan, Thailand. The Regional Training Workshop aimed to provide the participants with practical experiences on fish identification. After their participation in the training program, the participants should be in a position to apply the knowledge learned and the capacity to identify fish larvae in their respective countries.
