Protection for marine life in urban waters

S'pore joins global project to promote viable ways to develop ports, harbours

By Audrey Tan

SINGAPORE has joined hands with 13 other cities known for their busy harbours, such as New York and Shanghai, to better protect the marine environment. Two institutions from Singapore are taking part in the World Harbour Project, launched earlier last month to promote sustainable ways to develop ports and harbours. Urbanisation usually heralds the loss of biodiversity, but researchers from cities involved in the project hope to change this through the use of green engineering techniques. These techniques would enable urban development and conservation to co-exist, said Dr Serena Teo of the National University of Singapore's Tropical Marine Science Institute (TMSI), one of the Singapore participants.

The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers

The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) is an international non-governmental organization that works towards the establishment of equitable, gender-just,self-reliant and sustainable fisheries, particularly in the small-scale, artisanal sector.

ICSF draws its mandate from the historic International Conference of Fishworkers and their Supporters (ICFWS), held in Rome in 1984, parallel to the World Conference on Fisheries Management and Development organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

A number of fishworker organizations and concerned intellectuals, academics and social activists felt that the FAO conference had chosen to overemphasize the commercial, industrial, scientific and fishery resource aspects, at the expense of the actual real-world, life-and-blood people involved in fishing worldwide fishworkers who are often sections of the population marginalized from mainstream society.
