| Definition |
A fisheries management plan is a public document which clearly outlines future management directions and arrangements for recreational and/or commercial fishing for a given water body or species. |
|---|---|
| Concept |
The integrated process of information gathering, analysis, planning, consultation, decision-making, allocation of resources and formulation and implementation, with enforcement as necessary, of regulations or rules which govern fisheries activities in order to ensure the continued productivity of the resources and the accomplishment of other fisheries objectives. |
| Rationale |
The Fisheries management plan should be done because it is,to maintain the target species at or above the levels necessary to ensure their continued productivity (biological),to minimise the impacts of fishing on the physical environment and on non-target (bycatch), associated and dependent species (ecological);to maximise the net incomes of the participating fishers (economic); and to maximise employment opportunities for those dependent on the fishery for their livelihoods (social). |
