The implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) contributes to sustainable fisheries in various ways. The EAF-Nansen Programme has assisted several countries to understand, adopt and use an ecosystem approach in the management of their marine and coastal fisheries. The ecosystem approach to fisheries implementation monitoring tool (EAF IMT) is a tool for decision support and planning in the fisheries management process. It can be used by countries in strategic and operational planning processes for their fisheries, assisting them to determine where they are making acceptable progress and where there continue to be gaps and difficulties to address.

The second evaluation of the small and medium pelagic fishery in the United Republic of Tanzania was carried out in November 2021, by a group of multidisciplinary experts, including fisheries managers, scientists and fishers. The first evaluation was carried out almost two years after the first benchmark scoring of the fishery, conducted in January 2020, shortly after the start of the project to support the implementation of the small and medium pelagic management plan in the country. The aim was to assess the progress made since the last scoring. The ecosystem approach to fisheries implementation monitoring tool (EAF IMT) was developed to allow the monitoring of the progress of the EAF implementation and sustainable fisheries management. It allows the implementation of the EAF to be evaluated at different levels: at the level of a particular issue, to the level of EAF component, up to the entire fishery level.
