Book (stand-alone)Manual de identificación, evaluación y notificación de otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en áreas de la pesca marina 2023
Also available in:
En todo el mundo, los gestores pesqueros se esfuerzan por practicar una gestión eficaz que nos dirija hacia la conservación de la biodiversidad de los océanos y que contribuya al mismo tiempo al bienestar humano. Una amplia gama de medidas de ordenación basadas en áreas de la pesca consiguen resultados positivos para la biodiversidad. Muchas de ellas también se ajustan a la definición, los criterios y las orientaciones sobre “otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en áreas” (OMEC) desarrollada por la Conferencia de las Partes en el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica. En el contexto de la pesca, las OMEC son medidas de gestión y/o conservación establecidas y definidas espacialmente, distintas de las áreas protegidas, que producen resultados positivos a largo plazo e in situ para la biodiversidad, además de los resultados previstos para la pesca. Sin embargo, existe una gran confusión sobre qué medidas pueden considerarse OMEC. Este manual, el primer producto publicado en el marco de la serie sobre OMEC de la pesca de la FAO, tiene como objetivo promover la práctica sobre cuestiones relacionadas con las OMEC de la pesca, describe las características clave de las OMEC de la pesca y esboza un proceso básico para identificar, evaluar y notificar las OMEC en la pesca marina con el fin de fomentar el reconocimiento mundial del papel que desempeña la gestión de la pesca en la conservación de la biodiversidad.
