The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) has just released the latest edition of SAMUDRA Report, its triannual journal on fisheries, communities and livelihoods. SAMUDRA Report No. 75, dated January 2017, features articles from Tanzania, Myanmar, South Africa, India, Mexico, Ivory Coast and Costa Rica, apart from other articles on the ILO Work in Fishing Convention C188, the Human Rights-Based Approach in fisheries, the FAO SSF Guidelines, the UN Biodiversity Convention and the role of ICTs in small-scale fisheries. The issue opens with an editorial comment on how with the impending ratification of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No.188) of the International Labour Organization (ILO), it is now up to governments to take it forward. The Convention, as another article points out, has received the required ratifications to enter into force. Articles from Tanzania, Pakistan and India focus on implementing the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). The problem of migrant fisher labourers is the focus of one article from India, while another details the worrying fact of dwindling mud banks along the southwest coast of the country. A third piece describes Indian fishworkers’ plan to create a National Platform for Small-scale Fish Workers (Inland). An interesting article from Myanmar describes the unique ‘kyarr phong’ fishery in the Gulf of Mottama, which can be substantially improved only by enacting new legislation and policies on tenure rights, labour rights and fishing rights. How the traditional net fishers of the Langebaan Lagoon Marine Protected Area are up in arms is the subject of the article from South Africa, while the one from Mexico outlines the unexpected outcomes of conservation actions in Pacific Mexico. Women fish processors in Côte d’Ivoire in Western Africa face a bleak future, warns the article from the Ivory Coast, while traditional knowledge has helped manage the shrimp fisheries of Costa Rica, informs another article. SAMUDRA Report 75 also has a report on the UN Biodiversity Convention, which attracted over 7,000 participants from 170 countries, as well as another on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can promote small-scale fisheries. The Roundup section of the current issue of the journal carries news, fisheries statistics, notices and announcements.
