How it works

It involves fishing communities in decisions and ensures safety and fair conditions for crews.

Sustainable fisheries manage extraction along with the state of stocks, by-catches, habitats and working conditions.

When does it make sense?

  • There is an identified fishery and target species
  • The measure adapts to local art and risk
  • Catches and unintended effects can be followed

How to apply it

  1. 1

    Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.

  2. 2

    Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.

  3. 3

    Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits

Fairer conditions

Lower risk to people

Enhanced business continuity

Limitations and precautions

  • The benefit must be verified under the actual conditions of application.
  • An art improvement does not replace capture limits compatible with the population.
  • The measures must be checked in the actual fishery and comply with the rules.
