How it works
It protects times and places of reproduction or youth development with closed lines adjusted to local evidence.
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.
