Wednesday<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0– 9 September 2015
\nSubmitted by Kris Anderson<\/p>\n

Today is Blue Growth Day! \u00c2\u00a0Blue Growth is an FAO initiative to address sustainability in food from the ocean.
\nPauline Simpson introduced our first speakers, Lahsen Ababouch and Marc Taconet of FAO. \u00c2\u00a0Lahsen started with statistics and projections of fish production worldwide. \u00c2\u00a0The Blue Growth initiative focuses on four areas: capture fisheries, aquaculture, processing, and cultural importance. \u00c2\u00a0The Initiative addresses environmental and socio-economic considerations related to the four areas of focus. \u00c2\u00a0Blue Growth focuses on food security where Blue Economy involves ALL uses of the oceans. \u00c2\u00a0Marc Taconet talked about information needs related to forwarding the initiative. \u00c2\u00a0FAO offers much information on related websites for our use. \u00c2\u00a0An example is:\u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/www.fao.org\/biodiversity\/cross-sectoral-issues\/ecosystem-approach\/en\/
\nFor those interested in fisheries, you should look at the SOFIA reports (State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture):\u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/www.fao.org\/fishery\/sofia\/en<\/p>\n

Suzette Soomai was the next speaker. \u00c2\u00a0Her focus is advancing the Blue Growth agenda. She is working on her PhD and focusing on scientific information use in influencing\/driving policy. \u00c2\u00a0There is a need to bridge the gap between conceptual use of science and engagement of data support in creating policy. \u00c2\u00a0There are “drivers, enablers and barriers in the information pathways” that must be identified in order to move forward.<\/p>\n

Anton Ellenbroek followed Suzette and he informed us about iMarine Dataset Citation. www.i-marine.eu\/
\nData e-Infrastructure Initiative for Fisheries Management and Conservation of Marine Living Resources.
\nHe briefly commented on copyright and ownership issues and the went on to show what is in iMarine. \u00c2\u00a0The issues surrounding sharing data were addressed. \u00c2\u00a0The next step is BlueBridge. \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/pu4pogl<\/p>\n

Yay!! Break! \u00c2\u00a0Stretch the legs and swill some coffee.<\/p>\n

Next topic was OpenAIRE, an Open Access Publication infrastructure for Europe.\u00c2\u00a0https:\/\/www.openaire.eu \u00c2\u00a0The presentation was delivered by Alessia Bardi. \u00c2\u00a0She gave a summary of the history and the examples of what is contained and who is depositing. \u00c2\u00a0They are also looking to BlueBridge.<\/p>\n

Uwe Barg followed Alessia to present the project under development to collate Codes of Practice (COP) or Better Management Practices (BMP) for Aquaculture. \u00c2\u00a0They have compiled 350 documents from around the world thus far. The ultimate goal is to make these documents available online on the FAO\/FI site and also in Aquatic Commons.<\/p>\n

Lunch!<\/p>\n

Dorothy Barr reminded all paper and poster presenters to get their submissions to Dorothy in a timely manner!!<\/p>\n

Michelle Leonard then introduced Stephen Alayon who explained the importance of fisheries in the Philippines and Asia in general. \u00c2\u00a0He then discussed how marine and aquatic information is disseminated in Asia. \u00c2\u00a0Stephen did a study on the topic. \u00c2\u00a0He first did an inventory, then a survey of institutions. \u00c2\u00a0His survey requested who was in charge of information and asked about knowledge\/membership in IAMSLIC. \u00c2\u00a0International partnerships for document exchange were also identified. \u00c2\u00a0Last was information about ASFA and ASFA partnership and knowledge\/interest in Aquatic Commons. \u00c2\u00a0Stephen closed with a brief mention of interest in creating an Asian regional group.<\/p>\n

Following Stephen, Rizia Begum told us about fisheries information users in Bangladesh. \u00c2\u00a0 Since 1984 fish production in Bangladesh has increased over 400%. \u00c2\u00a0There are 100,000 seekers of fisheries information. \u00c2\u00a0Rizia then gave us a breakdown of services provided. She recommended increase flow in information sharing, expansion of Aquatic Commons, and establishment of a regional repository.<\/p>\n

Last of presentations for the day was Daryl Superio. Daryl did a survey of milkfish aquaculturists in certain areas of the Philippines. \u00c2\u00a0His findings identified profile info about the respondents from age, education, knowledge of laws applicable to aquaculture, health and safety, and information seeking behavior. \u00c2\u00a0Libraries are not utilized for daily information needs. \u00c2\u00a0Most relied on personal communication for daily information needs. His conclusions discussed preferred methods of dissemination to support this important industry.<\/p>\n
