Eritreas Coastal Marine and Island area covers more than 121,000km2, include over 350 offshore islands and 1,350km of coastline (18% of the Red Sea continental coastline) not including the islands. The total coastal mainland population is 73,000, and only ten out of all the islands are inhabited with a total...
Modern fisheries management is strongly based on ecosystem theory. Ecosystem management involves direct manipulation of the habitat and population as well as human activity in order to optimize sustainable returns to humans. The ecosystems approach is widely viewed as a new concept in management of fisheries and aquaculture. Ecosystems based...
Ecosystems are one of the most productive fishing grounds in the world, with important commercial and valuable fish stocks. However, overfishing, IUU activities, discards, habitat destruction and alteration of the biogeochemical conditions of the ecosystem combined with an increase in fish demand continue to drive fisheries to an alarming situation....
The need for management of the marine ecosystem using a broad perspective has been recommended under a variety of names. This paper uses the term Ecosystem Management, which is seen as a convergence between the ecological idea of an organisational hierarchy and the idea of strategic planning with a planning...
The main objectives assigned to ecosystemic indices are to fuel the debate on the best ways to reduce the impact of global warming. Fishing activities are also concerned with the debate. The assessments carried out about fish products show that the use of fuel in the fishing stage has the...
Among scientists & fishermen: flagship relationships of a science/society
contract. What we can learn from the French public dialogue Grenelle de la
mer and how multi-agent simulations can be useful.
As a consequence of the French dialogue process entitled Grenelle de
l'environnement, Non-governmental organization access to public scientific
expertise and...
Marine conservation measures such as moratoriums challenge the economics of fisheries. Efficiency of moratoriums depends on the acceptation by fisheries of such conservation measures. If the measure is unaccepted by fisheries the moratorium is not respected which leads the stock to extinction. The purpose of this article is to identify...
A lot of efforts through different projects have been made to establish comanagement
mechanisms to manage small scale fishery in Sri Lanka.
Nevertheless, many of such attempts have by now proved to be futile
endeavors. More often than not, such attempts to establish co-management
mechanisms in small scale fishery in...
The study is a modest attempt of assessing community-based management
of inland fisheries resources in Bangladesh to establishing access right to
the poor fishing communities. Co-management initiatives undertaken by
different institutes have established effective networking among
Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The initiatives also provided
fisheries management knowledge and created access...
This paper is based on a review and assessment of lessons from three
projects on fisheries co-management in Bangladesh: i) Community-based
fisheries management (CBFM), ii) Management of aquatic ecosystems
through community husbandry (MACH), and iii) Fourth Fisheries Project
(FFP). These co-management initiatives established 191 Community Based
Organizations (CBOs) in 179...
