    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. The present report examines the adequacy of existing legislation and institutions and recommends new draft legislation and implementing regulations for the control of foreign fishing operations. The report then examines the present systems for monitoring, surveillance and enforce ment over foreign fishing operations and makes general recommendations concerning the principles to be adopted in setting up a new system. Recommendations are also made concerning guidelines and minimum standard for foreign participation in the Sri Lanka fisheries industry. Finally the report points out the need for a complete revision of the fisheries Ordinance and makes some comments on issues that will need to be examined further in that revision.
