Sustainability Indicators in Marine Capture Fisheries

摘要: This thesis examines the development of sustainability indicator systems (SIS) as a tool to implement concept into fisheries management. research focuses upon identification and evolution these systems, their application management tool, response problems in sustainability. The presents series ten case studies that outline differing approaches developing SIS marine capture fisheries. These national, regional non government provide an opportunity strategically assess evaluate use United Nations Conference on Environment Development 1992 addressed sustainable means satisfy needs human societies within constraints presented by natural systems. Over last years, has been adopted local, regional, international institutions instruments. Implementing operationalising has, however, provided significant challenges. Marine witnessed rapid second half 20th Century. As pressure increases fisheries, it is important measures are introduced ensure such include methodologies frameworks for assessment incorporating biological, environmental, economic socio-political relationships - core development. viability indicators assessing progress towards Indicator have implemented across range jurisdictions with varying degrees success. In practice, several key components were distilled from framework. demonstrates used national environmental reporting specific legal policy contexts, can link directly process, focus at scale fishery operations. Target species well advanced ecosystem being rapidly developed tested, socio-economic governance require further progress. terms addressing outcomes, shown facilitate scientific coordination, increase transparency, accountability co-management, participation non-government organisations, structure based precautionary approaches.
