Item Awareness, training & demonstration of sustainable fisheries in Laamu Atoll(Ministry of Tourism and Environment މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ޓުއަރިޒަމް އެންޑް އެންވައިރޮންމެންޓް., 2025) Maldives Resilient Reefs, މޯލްޑިވްސް ރެސިލިއެންޓް ރީފްFishers are the backbone of the Maldivian economy, playing a crucial role in marine resources and ecosystem services. Promoting sustainable fishing practices among them is essential to maintaining a healthy ocean and safeguarding the livelihoods of dependent communities. To this end, Maldives Resilient Reefs, under the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy's project on Enhancing National Development through Environmentally Resilient Islands (ENDhERI), conducted training and awareness programmes in Laamu Atoll. These sessions targeted various fisheries stakeholders, including atoll and island councils, tuna and reef fishers, processors, and traders. Moreover, awareness sessions for school students were held to deepen their understanding of the significance of sustainable fisheries management. The training covered vital topics such as fisheries laws and regulations, proper onboard fish handling, best practices for bait fisheries, innovative sustainable technologies, vessel efficiency improvements, and enhancing the quality and value of processed fish. A total of nine sessions were conducted from January to August 2024, engaging 289 participants from Laamu Atoll, including 41 local council members, 50 fishers, eight fish traders and processors, 86 students, and three teachers. The insights from these stakeholders, particularly concerning unsustainable practices, environmental changes, and regulatory gaps, informed a series of recommendations. These recommendations aim to guide fisheries and environmental agencies toward fostering a sustainable, resilient, and economically viable fishing industry that ensures ecological balance and supports community livelihoods.Item ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ ހުއިފިލަނޑާގެ މަސްވެރިކަން މެނޭޖްކުރުމުގެ ޕްލޭން(ދިވެހި ސަރުކާރުގެ ގެޒެޓް, 2020-12-08) ރައީސުލްޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާގެ އޮފީސް; Raeesuljumhooriyyaage OfficeItem Baseline report on fisheries practices in Laamu atoll(Ministry of Climate Change, Environment, and Energy މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ކްލައިމެޓް ޗޭންޖް އެންވަރޮމެންޓް އެންޑް އެނާޖީ, 2024) Ministry of Climate Change, Environment, and Energy; މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ކްލައިމެޓް ޗޭންޖް އެންވަރޮމެންޓް އެންޑް އެނާޖީItem Fishermen in Minicoy (Maliku) : the production of Maldive fish as a sustainable economy(2022) Heidemann, Frank; ހައިޑެމަން ފްރޭންކްThe people of Minicoy (Maliku), the southernmost island of the Lakshadweep, produce Maldive fish, a delicacy widely known in India, Sri Lanka and beyond. Maldive fish, locally hikimas, is a cooked and dried tuna fillet that is as hard as wood and can be used for several years after processing. For many centuries it has been an essential part of the diet of seafarers, the pioneers of pre-colonial globalisation in the Indian Ocean. Maliku fishermen catch bait fish in the lagoon and skipjack tuna in the open ocean within a radius of 25 miles. Hikimas is produced by local women in their homes for export and partly for their own consumption. Despite the motorisation of fishing boats and other modernisations, fishing with pole and line and the production of hikimas proved to be a most sustainable form of catching and processing fish. It remained basically unchanged since it was first documented in the fourteenth century. I shall argue that fishing on Maliku is more than an economic activity, as it is a central aspect of producing home and belonging also for other occupational groups, particularly seamen, the largest professional group. Fishing and hikimas production are most inclusive economies with transparent distribution of surplus and wealth, and therefore contribute to a society that is often described as “egalitarian”.Item ލޭނު މަސްވެރިކަން : މަސްވެރިކަމުގެ ހުނަރު 1(މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ފިޝަރީޒް އެގްރިކަލްޗަރ އެނޑް މެރިން ރިސޯސަސް, 2024) މުޙައްމަދު މަނިކު; Manik, MohammedItem ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ ދިރޭކުދިމަހުގެ މަސްވެރިކަން މެނޭޖްކުރުމުގެ ޕުލޭން(ްރައީސުލްޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާގެ އޮފީސ, 2020-12-10) ްރައީސުލްޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާގެ އޮފީސ; Raeesuljumhooriyyaa ge OfficeItem Talking points(2022)Item ފާނައިގެ މަސްވެރިކަން ރާވައި ހިންގައި ބެލެހެއްޓުމާބެހޭ ގަވާއިދ(ރައީސުލްޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާގެ އޮފީސް, 2022-01-04) މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ފިޝަރީޒ،ް މެރިން ރިސޯސަސް އެންޑް އެގްރިކަލްޗަރItem Otolith chemical fingerprints of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the Indian Ocean : first insights into stock structure delineation(Plos One, 2021-03-29) Guerrero, Antonio MedinaThe chemical composition of otoliths (earbones) can provide valuable information about stock structure and connectivity patterns among marine fish. For that, chemical signatures must be sufficiently distinct to allow accurate classification of an unknown fish to their area of origin. Here we have examined the suitability of otolith microchemistry as a tool to better understand the spatial dynamics of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), a highly valuable commercial species for which uncertainties remain regarding its stock structure in the Indian Ocean. For this aim, we have compared the early life otolith chemical composition of young- of-the-year (<6 months) skipjack tuna captured from the three main nursery areas of the equatorial Indian Ocean (West, Central and East). Elemental (Li:Ca, Sr:Ca, Ba:Ca, Mg:Ca and Mn:Ca) and stable isotopic (δ13C, δ18O) signatures were used, from individuals cap- tured in 2018 and 2019. Otolith Sr:Ca, Ba:Ca, Mg:Ca and δ18O significantly differed among fish from different nurseries, but, in general, the chemical signatures of the three nursery areas largely overlapped. Multivariate analyses of otolith chemical signatures revealed low geographic separation among Central and Eastern nurseries, achieving a maximum overall random forest cross validated classification success of 51%. Cohort effect on otolith trace element signatures was also detected, indicating that variations in chemical signatures associated with seasonal changes in oceanographic conditions must be well understood, particularly for species with several reproductive peaks throughout the year. Otolith micro- chemistry in conjunction with other techniques (e.g., genetics, particle tracking) should be further investigated to resolve skipjack stock structure, which will ultimately contribute to the sustainable management of this stock in the Indian Ocean.Item Exploratory fishing for large pelagic species in the Maldives(Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, Republic of Maldives, 2023) Anderson, R.
