Also available in:

No results found.

The Government of Sri Lanka extended its jurisdiction over fisheries to 200 miles in 1977 and requested assistance from the Indian Ocean Programme in revising its fisheries legislation to meet the needs of the new zone. A first report in 1978, “Legal and institutional aspects of fisheries management in Sri Lanka with particular reference to the control of foreign fishing in the EEZ” (Tech. Rep. 22) recommended new draft legislation for the control of foreign fishing operations. The present repor t reviews existing agreements, laws and institutions affecting the management and development of fisheries in Sri Lanka and recommends the adoption of new legislation, including both domestic and foreign fishing operations. Certain principles are recommended for inclusion in the new legislation and suggested drafts of legislation and implementing regulations are appended. Finally the report points out the need for consultation with the fishermen on the new legislation and includes a briefing not e for the carrying out of such consultation. The assistance was financed in part by the Indian Ocean Programme and in part by the FAO/Norway Cooperative Programme.

The intent of the missions was threefold: 1) assess fisheries management and MCS capability; 2) assist where possible in adv ice for immediate MCS steps to enhance current systems, and finally, 3) assess potential regional or sub-regional mechanisms for cooperation in fisheries management, including the MCS component. The report first provides a comparative analysis of the findings of the missions, presents a synopsis of potential regional cooperation and then provides more detailed information and suggestions to enhance MCS on a regional basis.
