Abstract
  • Over the past 50 years, most efforts to regulate fishing and conserve our oceans and seas only have had limited success in preventing the on-going problems of over-fishing, degradation of the marine environment, and irreversible loss of marine biodiversity. Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) of the oceans is an approach that is likely to succeed where many other initiatives have failed because of its focus on managing human issues and impacts in order to achieve the maintenance of biodiversity. Fishing is an important use of the world’s oceans, but the concept of EBM for marine capture fisheries is not clear or fully operational. WWF has prepared a Policy Paper1 to encourage and inform global debate. The Paper is designed to develop the concept into a workable approach for implementation in individual fisheries in a manner that is consistent with integrating global and regional policy initiatives into national activities.
