Abstract

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimates that fisheries and aquaculture assure the livelihoods of 10 to 12 percent of the world's population, with more than 90 percent of those employed by capture fisheries working in small-scale operations in developing countries. The potential to generate increasingly sizable environmental, social, and financial returns from the ocean can only be achieved if fisheries are managed in a sustainable and responsible manner. Understanding the concerns and needs of impact investors will allow development organizations, non-government organizations (NGOs), and others, to better design their interventions to encourage private sector participation while leveraging and preserving scarce public dollars for critical public investments. This paper provides an overview for international development organizations, development finance institutions, NGOs, and the governments they work with of: (i) the key concerns that impact investors may have when considering the financing of sustainable fisheries, and (ii) potential approaches for public-private partnerships to overcome these obstacles. It presents three models for sequencing and combining different sources of capital to overcome these obstacles: serial approach; consolidated approach; and parallel approach. Finding effective ways to combine public and private financing and coordinate interventions will help ensure that capture fisheries continue to provide long-term economic benefits and remain plentiful for the millions of people who depend on fish for food and livelihoods.

Abstract

Aquaculture is probably the fastest-growing animal production sector in the Asia Pacific region. Aquaculture is predicted to continue increasing production by optimizing and intensifying existing aquaculture practices, increasing the number and type of farms, and exploring other environments. High levels of nutrients in effluent discharge to channels, rivers, or lakes may cause eutrophication and affect fisheries adversely, but in other cases, depending on dilution rates, effluents may be a beneficial addition of nutrients which boost natural productivity including fisheries. The important fish farming waste components are nutrients (dissolved and particulate) resulting from the metabolism of fish food (including natural food in the case of filter feeders such as mussels and clams), uneaten food, pseudofeces (in the case of filter feeders), escapees of farmed fish affecting the genetics of wild fisheries species, and residues of disease or parasite treatment chemicals. The environmental impact can be lessened by improved location of farms, improved farm management, or by physical and or biological treatment of the effluent. China is the leading country in aquaculture production and Vietnam and the Philippines are in the top 10. Aquaculture continues to grow in China and Vietnam but is presently declining in the Philippines because of reduction in seaweed production.

Abstract

Coastal areas are essential to Sri Lanka's economic development, accounting for the highest concentration of population and economic activity. Sandy beaches, dunes, lagoons, estuaries, fresh water marshes, minerals, mangroves and reefs enrich some 1,600 km of coastline that surrounds the "pearl shaped" island. Approximately 33 percent of Sri Lanka's population lives in coastal areas that support diverse livelihoods, from fishing to tourism to manufacturing and modern urban services. The coastal ecosystems are uniquely important as they enable multiple human activities.Among all economic activities, tourism and fisheries are the most dependent on the natural resources of the coast. Together, these two sectors generate 10 percent of Sri Lanka's foreign exchange earnings and account for 6.7 percent of employment. Fisheries make an important contribution to food security, employment, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), contributing close to 4.5 percent of Sri Lanka's total export revenue, with further significant growth potential. Nearly 90 percent of the total national fish catch comes from the marine and coastal fishery, and it supports the livelihoods of many artisanal fishermen and those who access or are in the value chain of the large pelagic fishery within the 200 nm Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Along the coast, 20 formal fish harbors accommodate more than 4,000 single and multi-day fishing vessels. The fisheries sector is a major source of employment, providing approximately 500,000 formal and informal jobs.

Abstract

Aquaculture is an important and growing part of Vietnam's agricultural economy. The aquaculture industry's expansion has, however, contributed to environmental degradation and become a potential threat to the industry's sustainability. Aquaculture expansion has involved the conversion of large areas, including mangroves, to farms and ponds, leading to changes in ecosystems and land use. In addition, aquaculture practices generate an array of emissions, most of them carried in wastewater and solid waste. This report is meant to provide a broad national overview of pollution problems in the aquaculture subsector. It aims to describe the nature, magnitude, and drivers of aquaculture pollution problems, taking stock of the state of evidence on this topic. It also touches upon current responses to the problem and offers a number of directions for policymakers.

Abstract

Vietnamese agriculture has experienced remarkable growth over the past twenty years. Today, however, Vietnamese agriculture is edging toward the limits of a growth model rooted more in the intensification of production systems featuring heavy use of labor, chemicals, and natural resources than in efficiency or value addition gains. Agricultural growth is decelerating and Vietnam's competitiveness as a provider of bulk, undifferentiated commodities is flagging as the agricultural sector faces rising competition for labor, land, and other resources. The environmental fallout from intensification has also begun to adversely impact productivity and the position of Vietnam's commodities in international markets. If it is to fulfill its ambitions and remain a motor of economic development, Vietnam's agriculture will need to start producing More from Less. In this regard, tackling agricultural pollution represents a key challenge for Vietnam. Pollution has started to take a toll on the sector's own resource base, potentially impacting soil fertility and yields, the effectiveness of chemicals in combating pests and disease, farmer health and productivity, environmental health, and the safety of food. Growing evidence and public concern about pollution have led the Vietnamese government to adopt a new outlook and to take measures to address the problem. The research upon which this summary report is based represents the first attempt to assemble existing evidence on the nature and magnitude of agricultural pollution in Vietnam, looking across the livestock, aquaculture, and crops subsectors. It is also an attempt to shed light on the socioeconomic impacts and drivers of agricultural pollution, including the shortcomings of existing policies and programs to reign in the problem.
