For the first time ever a meeting of Honourable Ministers from the Asian region, with purview for fisheries in their portfolios, will convene in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on 28-29 July 2011. The idea of convening ministerial meeting has been mooted around for a while, but a firm decision was arrived at the 22nd Governing Council Meeting in 2010, which was transmitted to the FAO for concurrence. At the 29th Meeting of the Committee on Fisheries (CoFI), April 2011, the Honourable Minister for Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Government of Sri Lanka, made a formal proposal which was accepted by the CoFI and it is now coming to fruition. The local host for the meeting will be the Government of Sri Lanka, and convened by the latter in conjunction with FAO and NACA. It is expected that sixteen Honourable Ministers or their representatives will participate, together with representation from major banks, the European Union, donor agencies and representatives from on-going major regional project managers on fisheries and aquaculture. The meeting will be opened by The President of the Republic of Sri Lanka, His Excellency, The Honourable Mahinda Rajapakse.

NACA is very pleased to have been awarded the Margarita Lizárraga Medal for the biennium 2010-2011 at the Thirty-seventh Session of the FAO Conference. The award was presented by Dr Jacques Diouf, Director-General of the FAO, in a ceremony at the FAO Headquarters in Rome on 27 June.
The Margarita Lizárraga Medal Award was established by the FAO Conference in 1997 to honour the memory of Dr Magarita Lizárraga, former Senior Fishery Liaison Officer, for her decisive role in promoting the
Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and for her productive work in the field of fisheries for almost forty years, particularly in developing countries. The Award is presented to a person who, or an organisation which, has served with distinction in the application of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.
The Award was presented to NACA “in recognition of its significant contribution to the development of sustainable aquaculture in the Asia and Pacific Region. NACA continues to serve as a cohesive intergovernmental forum for the formulation of regional policies as well as cooperation and coordination in aquaculture research, development and training. In particular, NACA has noteworthy achievements in the areas of environmental and aquatic animal health, support to small-scale fish farming, promotion of better management practices (BMPs) and aquaculture certification. The contribution of NACA to application of the Code is therefore outstanding, practical, tangible and sustainable as well as catalytic for other regions to follow???.

Delegates from NACA member governments, regional lead centres and international partner organisations were welcomed by Dr B. Meenakumari, Deputy Director General (Fisheries) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. Opening remarks were delivered by Dr Nantiya Unprasert, Deputy Director General of the Thai Department of Fisheries and by the Director General of NACA, Prof. Sena De Silva.
The Governing Council is NACA’s peak policy body, which meets annually to review the organisation’s activities and set priorities for the year ahead. Collectively NACA’s 18 member states produce more than 90% of global aquaculture by volume, which now represents around 50% of the global food fish supply.
