Book (series)Technical reportLegal report on the ecosystem approach to fisheries in Guinea
An analysis of the ecosystem approach to fisheries in selected national policy and legal instruments of Guinea
2022Also available in:
Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, inter-sectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks. The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Guinea with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Guinea's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAF. This report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Guinea. Drafted in July 2021, the report was submitted to the national authorities of Guinea in October 2021. The Centre National des Sciences Halieutiques de Boussoura (CNSHB) [National Centre of Fisheries Sciences of Boussoura] endorsed this EAF Legal Report of Guinea in July 2022. -

No results found.Legislating for an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, inter-sectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO – through the Development Law Service (LEGN) of the FAO Legal Office, in collaboration with the Assessment and Management Team (NFIFM) of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, and the EAF-Nansen programme – developed the EAF Legal Diagnostic Tool, which was applied in 33 countries.In advancing the implementation of the EAF through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO has partnered with BOBP-IGO in developing this first subregional EAF legal report, which covers countries in South Asia. This report revisits the EAF legal reports of Bangladesh, India, Maldives and Sri Lanka to showcase their key common features and good practices of implementing the EAF through these countries’ policy and legal frameworks. This analysis is useful to demonstrate the subregional experience in support of the implementation of the EAF from a policy and legal perspective. The relevant policy references and legal provisions can be used as inspiration for other countries in South Asia and elsewhere, assisting them to review and enhance their policy and legal frameworks for better implementation of the EAF.The overall results of the EAF legal reports show that the assessed instruments of Bangladesh, India, Maldives and Sri Lanka have met a fair number of EAF legal requirements, but there remain gaps to be addressed. For the EAF legal components which were not found in the assessed policy and legal instruments of one or more countries, it is recommended to assess in more detail how the same component was provided in the policy and legal instruments of the other country or countries. This assessment can help understanding how the EAF legal component can be met, potentially supporting policymaking and legal drafting to better address that gap.
