Preparation of this document
This manual was prepared by Mr Joseph Alan Sciortino, MICE, M. ASCE, C. Eng., the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Consultant on Harbour
Design and Management. The manual reflects the provisions of the FAO Code of Conduct
for Responsible Fisheries in relation to fishing harbours and is an extension of Annex VI,
No. 1, in the series of FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries. It contains
proposals and guidelines to be followed with regard to the design, development, management
and maintenance of ports and landing places for fishing vessels. It also provides guidance on
the conduct of environmental auditing in relation to new construction and the upgrading
of existing facilities. It was based on a manual prepared in electronic format in 1999, and
updated and revised to integrate new guidelines, ideas, experiences and lessons from projects
in different parts of the world.
The manual was technically edited by Mr John Fitzpatrick, C. Eng., C. Mar. Eng.,
MIMAREST, former Director of the FAO Fish Products and Industry Division. The
draft of the manual was reviewed by Mr B.N. Krishnamurthy, FAO Consultant on
Harbour Management and Institution Building and Mr V. Venkatesan, FAO Consultant
on Community Participation in Fisheries, both under the Technical Cooperation
Project on Capacity Building in Support of Cleaner Fishing Harbours in India; and
Mr Simon Diffey, Chief Technical Advisor of the project on the Restoration and Improvement
of Fish Landing Centres with Stakeholder Participation in Management funded by the
Canadian International Development Agency in Sri Lanka.
The manual was edited by Maria Giannini. Susana V. Siar, Fishery Industry Officer,
Fishing Operations and Technology Service (FIRO) of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture
Department, provided overall supervision in the preparation and publication of this manual.
The publication contributes to the achievement of the following organizational result: the
operation of fisheries, including the use of vessels and fishing gear, is made safer, more
technically and socio-economically efficient, environmentally-friendly and compliant with
rules at all levels.
