How it works
Record species, area, date, art and chain of custody to prove legal origin.
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
Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.
- 2
Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.
- 3
Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
More resilient fishing stocks
Less damage to species and habitats
Greater continuity of the sector
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.
