Fisheries management draws on fisheries science in order to find
ways to protect fishery resources so sustainable exploitation is
possible. Modern fisheries management is often referred to as a
governmental system of appropriate management rules based on
defined objectives and a mix of management means to implement the
rules, which are put in place by a system of monitoring control and
surveillance. Effective management is essential if marine resources
are to be utilized in a sustainable and a responsible manner.
Sustainable and responsible fisheries management is of a
fundamental importance as fisheries are one of the main pillars of
the economy through ecologically and economically sustainable
management of the living marine resources. Fish and fisheries are
an integral part of most societies and make important contributions
to economic and social health and well-being in many countries and
areas. There are many reasons for this unacceptable state of
affairs, but the primary reasons all come down to a failure in
fisheries governance in most countries. The responsibility for
declining stocks and falling economic returns and employment
opportunities in fisheries must be shared amongst fishers,
fisheries management authorities, fishery scientists and those
involved in environmental degradation. Not all of the underlying
problems lie within the realm of fisheries management, but the
fisheries manager is the person who is most often in the best
position to observe and record what is happening in the fisheries
under his or her jurisdiction, to establish the underlying cause or
causes of any problems, to rectify those within their jurisdiction,
and to bring the others to the attention of both the interested
parties in fisheries and those with a responsibility covering the
external causes. However, all too often the fisheries manager
remains either unaware of the state of the resources, or fails to
act sufficiently as the fisheries slip further and further into
decay and crisis, or both. This is rarely, if ever, a deliberate
choice and more often comes down to a lack of available
information, an incomplete understanding of the nature of the task
of fisheries management, and inadequate resources, structures and
support to address the problems and utilize the resources in a
planned and efficient manner. Fisheries have been explicitly
managed in some places for hundreds of years. More than 80 percent
of the worlds commercial exploitation of fish and shellfish are
harvest from natural occurring populations in the oceans and
freshwater areas. This monograph explores the possibilities for
effective and sustainable fisheries management across the globe.
