Most recently work has focussed on developing a training course for Ecosystem Approach to Fishery Management and guidelines for tropical trawl fisheries management. The Secretariat is housed in the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ram Buttri Road or Soi Ram Buttri (Thai: ถนนรามบุตรี, ซอยรามบุตรี, also written as Rambuttri), is a small road, or soi (ซอย; alley), in Bangkok, Thailand. It is situated near Khaosan Road in the Bang Lamphu neighbourhood in the Phra Nakhon district. The road mainly consists of two parts. The first part connects Sip Sam Hang Road with the Chakrabongse Road. The second part runs from the Chakrabongse Road, beside Wat Chana Songkhram, to the Chao Fa Road, which is at the foot of the Pra Pin-Klao Bridge opposite the National Theater. The name, Ram Buttri, translates as 'daughter of Rama'. It refers to Mom Chao Ying Pao Suriyakul, who was the daughter of Prince Rama Isares. She donated money to build a bridge dedicated to her father, which crossed Khlong Bang Lamphu (Bang Lamphu canal), also known as Khlong Ban Khaek (Ban Khaek canal). Thus the bridge was named "Saphan Ram Buttri", and the canal was called Khlong Ram Buttri. The official opening ceremony was held on August 13, 1910, presided over by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). Later, the canal was turned into a road, and the bridge was demolished, but its name remained.Today, Ram Buttri Road is home to hostels, guest houses, boutique hotels, bars, Thai massage services, 24 hour restaurants, and many street food stalls, which are well known among tourists. The Songkran festival usually takes place from April 13th to April 15th every year and makes the Khaosan Road one of the busiest places in Bangkok.Moreover, one lane of the road that runs out to Chao Fa Road has a name called "Trok Rong Mai" (ตรอกโรงไหม), translates as 'silk factory lane', because during the early Ratanakosin period, there were two royal silk-weaving factories: one close to Saphan Chang Rong Si (near Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense headquarters in present), and the other close to the Front Palace. The royal silk-weaving-factory located near the Saphan Chang Rong Si dissolved in the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III), remaining only another factory. It was the place to produce silk, used for the clothes of the monarch and royal family, as well as the senior civil servants. Until the reign of King Chulalongkorn, the operation was closed down due to more fabric orders from other countries. The canal that runs through this area was also called Khlong Rong Mai. Alike to Saphan Ram Buttri and Khlong Ram Buttri, although the factory and canal have disappeared, the name "Trok Rong Mai" is still used for this area. At present, it is the location of many guesthouses for tourists as well as Ram Buttri Road nearby.

The Front Palace (Thai: วังหน้า, RTGS: Wang Na), officially the Phraratchawang Bowon Sathanmongkhon (พระราชวังบวรสถานมงคล), was the residence of the royal holder of the same title (also known as the uparaja and usually translated as "viceroy" or "vice king", and sometimes as "Lord" or "Prince of the Front Palace", or "Prince-successor") during the early-to-mid Rattanakosin Kingdom. The palace was built at the same time as the Grand Palace, following the accession of King Rama I and the foundation of Rattanakosin (today's Bangkok) as the capital city in 1782. It was located at the northern end of the inner fortified city, directly in front of the Grand Palace, where the king lived, and provided security to the city. Most of the Front Palace was built under Surasinghanat, who had been named by Rama I, though it saw further additions and modifications throughout the periods. It was home to five of the six Princes of the Front Palace, until the death of Wichaichan in 1885, after which the position was abolished by King Chulalongkorn in favour of a modern succession system. The palace compound was subsequently converted for various functions. Today, only the buildings of the main residence remain, housing the Bangkok National Museum. Other parts of the historical compound are now occupied by Thammasat University, the National Theatre, the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute, and the northern part of Sanam Luang.
