Book (series)A fishery manager’s guidebook Management Measures and Their Application
Management measures and their application
2002This publication was prepared to promote and to provide support in the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, especially Article 7: Fisheries Management. As such it is also intended to supplement the FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries No. 4: Fisheries Management. It is intended primarily for the practising fishery manager and decision-maker, with particular emphasis on developing countries, although it is hoped that the volume will also be of interest to managers in developed countries. Fisheries management is a complex and evolving discipline and much is still being learnt about what it involves, what works and what doesn't. The problem is compounded by the fact that fisheries management as a coherent discipline is still poorly defined and frequently equally poorly understood. This publication strives to identify the primary tasks in management of capture fisheries, with particular emphasis on sustainable utilization of the biological reso urces, and to demonstrate how these tasks should be undertaken in an integrated and coordinated manner to obtain the desired benefits from the biological resources in a sustainable and responsible manner. -

Despite these benefits, our record of managing fisheries so that the benefits can be sustained has been poor; at best, and most fisheries around the world are experiencing serious ecological, social or economic problems and usually all three. Today there is global concern about the state of fishery resources and aquatic ecosystems, their resilience to future stresses such as climate change and their ability to continue to provide benefits. Fisheries management Is the process that has evolved to try to ensure that fisheries operate in a manner that provides the immediate benefits in a sustainable manner. The widely accepted goal is that the full range of benefits should not only be available for this generation but for gen erations to come. fisheries management has been successful in some cases but there have also been many, many cases of failure. This volume is intended to contribute to Improving this unsatisfactory state by addressing the widespread need for Information and guidance on the broad and often complex task of fisheries management. It is an updated and expanded edition of AFishery Manager’s Guidebook which was published as a FAO Fisheries Technical Paper in 2002. The major part of this new edition is divided into five parts intended to cover the range of concerns, tools and techniques essential to the modem fisheries manager, whether that manager Is an Individual or a formal or Informal group. following the Introduction: Part I examines the primary dimensions of fisheries: biological, ecological. social and economic Part Ii looks at the legal and Institutional characteristics of fisheries Part III explores the tools that fishery managers have to achieve the objectives e xpected from a fishery Part IV discusses the role of scientific Information of Indicators and reference points Part V moves Into Implementation of fisheries management and Includes a chapter on special considerations In small-scale fisheries It concludes with a chapter that summarises the current state of knowledge and best practices and looks ahead to possible futures for fisheries governance. This landmark publication is intended to be a practical guide to those actively engaged In fisheries management and will be of particular Interest to fishery managers and scientists. All libraries in research establishment and universities where fisheries and aquatic sciences are studied and taught will need copies of this Important volume. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Report of the FAO Technical Working Group Meeting on Reduction of Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries. Tokyo, Japan, 25-27 March 1998. 1999The FAO Technical Working Group (TWG) on Reduction of Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries reviewed three background papers prepared for the meeting dealing with longline fishing technology and effort, the interaction of seabirds during fishing operations and how incidental catch of seabirds can be reduced by using various mitigation measures. It was decided that the content of these background papers should be compiled into one publication to be used as reference material for elab orating technical guidelines and the international plan of action. The TWG also drafted Guidelines and a Plan of Action. The Guidelines are proposed to contain a list of mitigation measures which are either presently in use or under development, as well as a description of how information about mitigation measures could best be disseminated to fishers, the industry and other parties involved. Regarding the Plan of Action, the draft prepared by the TWG should be seen as a very first draft to be developed in a process leading up to the FAO Consultation to be held in October 1998.
