On the one hand, the director of an intergovernmental programme has certain obligations when it comes to "transparency" but on the other hand there is also an obligation to avoid being considered a "loose cannon". It is a fine line to tread.<BR/><BR/>However, the bottom line is that a weblog, with its built-in mechanism for allowing feedback, seems to be at least a good way as any of bringing up issues and talking about some of our work. I've just got to be careful about straying too far onto politically-contentious topics (and I don't mean intellectually-contentious, but topics where different SPC member governments have expressed different positions).Tim Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528429203587263083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37443061.post-37083586405299902812007-03-10T12:33:00.000+11:002007-03-10T12:33:00.000+11:00Timhaving been directed to the site from your emai...Tim<BR/><BR/>having been directed to the site from your email, have had a look and there first item struck - Fisheries management index, and the links, as spot on for topicality and direct interest, for obvious reasons. Others browsed are of great interest too.<BR/>Not sure that being in at work on Saturay morning constitutes working hours or not! I think it should be sustainable - not sure what your marketting campaign has been.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to post a short note on Ecosystem-based Fisheries management, and will try and sort the technology shortly, I'm concerned, primarily, I suppose, that there will continue to be fruitless effort put into debate over the slightly different flavours of EBFM and EAFM and angels-on-a-pin debate that obscures the essentially more precautionary approach that goes with it, rather than the scarey emphasis on progressively more expansive, and expensive data gathering that there is a lot of arm waving about. The particular concern, of course, is in data-poor fisheries, but data come in several shades too--- the important thing to me is the shift of the frame of reference to a system base, however defined, and of course, spatial anchors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
