dc.description.abstract | • Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM), used in concert with the Precautionary
Approach (PA), shows promise for improving management of marine resources
on the high seas.
• An examination of the approaches, operational benchmarks (process,
methodology or reference points) and best practices of 12 Regional Fisheries
Management Organizations (RFMOs), all with direct regulatory authority,
provides insight into guidelines for more effective high seas management
through the adoption of EBM and PA.
• Best practices include an overarching mandate with a broader ecosystem
focus, precautionary principles and the use of the best available science in
management decisions as well as precautionary decision rules, a comprehensive
research programme and effective enforcement.
• While RFMOs have made progress in identifying EBM and PA management
measures, implementation has been slow. In order for there to be meaningful
improvement in high seas ocean governance, new means for effectively
deterring Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing activities will have to
be identified. Such measures would include addressing the socio-economic
drivers of IUU fishing, as was suggested in the final report of the ministerially led
Task Force on IUU Fishing on the High Seas in March 2006. | en_US |
