Nageon de Lestang, J. Study on safety at sea for small-scale fisheries. 1. South West Indian Ocean. FAO Fisheries Circular. No. 1024/1. Rome, FAO. 2007. 56p. Abstract This document details the findings of a study on safety at sea undertaken in May 2006 in four countries in the South West Indian Ocean Region. The countries studied were Seychelles, Madagascar, Comoros and Kenya. In order to have a better comparison and a homogenous approach, the study analysed the same themes for each country; these were: the relation of fisheries management to sea safety, safety programmes, data recording, legislation, boat building and vessel design and ‘other safety issues’ which gave the possibility to include country-specific aspects. The document presents the results and analyses of the country case studies as well as conclusions and recommendations. |
