Description
Summary:The paper gives a personal overview of fisheries management including the background to sustainable yield and the increasing importance of marine research for fisheries. It gives the characteristics of the marine environment, including the atmosphere, for international fisheries management. Conservation and the need for multispecies management are required and the paper discusses the increases in incidental catch and the effects of overfishing on target and by catch stocks. There are specific concerns of high seas management, including overlapping (straddling) and highly migratory fish stocks. The paper discusses fisheries management against a background of Agenda 21 of the Rio Conference and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
