Assessment of Solar Panel Array Utilization Applied to a Fishing Vessel 20 GT

Fishermen heavily depend on fossil fuels, around 95.4%, with no apparent decrease. Rising fuel costs and declining fossil fuel supplies challenge the fishing industry. The International Maritime Organization notes that ships using fossil fuels consume 277 million tons of fuel, contributing 2.5% to global emissions (961 million tons of CO2). TReducing reliance on fossil fuels and adopting alternative sources such as solar energy is suggested to address energy issues in Indonesia; solar energy, with an intensity of 0.6 to 0.7 kW/m2, is considered promising. This study uses an experimental design methodology to evaluate the installation of solar panels on a 20 GT fishing vessel at Muara Angke Port, Jakarta. Primary data, including ship size, was collected from the field. The economic focus is on the payback period, calculated through interviews with the crew. Exhaust gas emissions were calculated using factors established by the Ministry of Transportation. The results indicate that replacing CFL lamps with LED can save energy, specifically around 5 kW on this vessel. The feasibility of installing 14 solar panels is shown, costing over 20 years of Rp. 65,100,000. The payback period is estimated at three years, and the long-term analysis of Photovoltaic Solar Panels (PLTS) over additional engine investment. Cumulative emissions from the engine in one year are 155,007 tons, making PLTS environmentally beneficial without emissions

Smoked marine fish from Western Region, Ghana: a value chain assessment

The value chain analysis of ths report focused on smoked marine fish- overwhelmingly the most important fish product originating in Western Region, Ghana. Smoked fish from Western Region is mainly destined for the domestic market where demand is very strong. Small quantities of smoked fish are destined for markets in Togo, Benin and Nigeria. The underlying objective of the fisheries value chain analysis is to identify opportunities for growth in the fisheries value chain, with an emphasis on those opportunities that have the potential to generate significant additional livelihoods, particularly at the level of the fishing communities and for low-income groups. The results from the value chain analysis will be used to identify pilot interventions to promote those livelihood outcomes. The main focus for the study is smoked fish (major species/product forms) destined for domestic markets. However, work will also be undertaken on the fresh fish trade and frozen fish to find out more about the significance of these value chains

mFish Alpha Pilot: Building a Roadmap for Effective Mobile Technology to Sustain Fisheries and Improve Fisher Livelihoods.

In June 2014 at the Our Ocean Conference in Washington, DC, United States Secretary of State John Kerry announced the ambitious goal of ending overfishing by 2020. To support that goal, the Secretary's Office of Global Partnerships launched mFish, a public-private partnership to harness the power of mobile technology to improve fisher livelihoods and increase the sustainability of fisheries around the world. The US Department of State provided a grant to 50in10 to create a pilot of mFish that would allow for the identification of behaviors and incentives that might drive more fishers to adopt novel technology. In May 2015 50in10 and Future of Fish designed a pilot to evaluate how to improve adoption of a new mobile technology platform aimed at improving fisheries data capture and fisher livelihoods.

The struggles of fishworkers: new concerns for support. Triennial Conference of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers and the Tenth Anniversary of the International Conference of Fishworkers and their Supporters, Cebu, Philippines, 2- 7 June 1994

For quite some time now, global fisheries have been ravaged by successive 'crises'. These have their roots in overfishing, technological overkill as well as the widespread disregard for the needs and priorities of the artisanal and small-scale fishing communities. As issues that fundamentally concern fishworkers the world over, they are also the concerns that form the mandate of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF), an international NGO affiliated to the Economic and Social Council of the UN and admitted to ILO's Special List of Non-Governmental International Organizations. These questions were first addressed at the International Conference of Fishworkers and their Supporters, held in Rome in 1984. To mark the tenth anniversary of The Rome Conference, as well as to conduct its triennial conference, ICSF organized an international meeting at Cebu, the Philippines in June 1994. More than 90 participants from over 30 countries gathered to debate, share opinions and exchange views on the state of the world's fisheries, its impact on their lives and how this could be managed. This publication is the official record of what transpired at Cebu. It is a compendium of papers, reports and special contributions on topical concerns in global fisheries management. It also contains the reports of the various working groups which tackled the conference's themes. These converged in a final declaration which detailed the recommendations of The Cebu Conference. As a work of reference, this publication will be of immense use to researchers, activists, environmentalists, NGOs, journalists, policymakers and just about anyone concerned with the world of fisheries and fishworkers
