ProjectImproving Management of Coral Reef And Fisheries in Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles - GCP/RAF/520/JPN 2023
Also available in:
The Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but also the coastal mainland countries in the region of Africa, are endowed with extensive coral reefs. These fragile ecosystems have been under the threats of climate change, reef degradation, sand mining, and overfishing, as well as IUU fishing. This is undermining fishery resources preservation, leading to a loss of catches and subsequent revenues for many fishing communities depending on them. As such, this project sought to assist in strengthening the management and conservation of coral reefs and its fisheries as key to enhancing the status of resources in the target countries, stopping the downward trend in production and ensuring long-term sustainable fisheries and resilient communities. -
Book (stand-alone)A Community-based ecosystem approach to fisheries management : Guidelines for Pacific Island countries 2010
Also available in:
No results found.These guidelines have been produced to describe how an EAF can be merged with community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in PICs. This merger of approaches is referred to in these guidelines as the community-based ecosystem approach to fisheries management (CEAFM), and represents a combination of three different perspectives; namely, fisheries management, ecosystem management and community-based management. CEAFM is the management of fisheries, within an ecosystem context, by local communities working with government and other partners. The main requirement for such a merger is the involvement of a broader range of stakeholders and access to the expertise and experience of several government agencies in addition to a fisheries agency. CEAFM is not seen as a replacement for current fisheries management but an extension that combines a high degree of community and other stakeholder participation to minimise the impacts of fishing and other activities on ecosystems. In addition to fishin g activities, coastal ecosystems in many PICs are affected by excessive shoreline development and by coastal waters that contain high levels of nutrients and silt. CEAFM aims to involve the participation of community stakeholders to ensure that future generations of Pacific Island people will continue to have access to the benefits associated with sustainable fisheries and healthy ecosystems.
