Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary approach (PA) directs fishery managers and scientists to define unacceptable outcomes, take uncertainty into account, and implement a decision process. Furthermore, this approach identifies several objectives, including those with respect to overexploitation, overcapacity, social & economic dislocation, loss of biodiversity, and major ecosystem disruption. This report presents proceedings of a workshop on implementation of PA for domestic stocks. Topics covered include: the legal framework for PA; the development of the PA in Canada; basic approaches, including risk analysis, population projection models, and approaches used in specific fisheries; case studies from Canada and Australia; and limitations & pitfalls of the PA. Includes glossary.

Book excerpt: Unless a point in the discussion sections is labeled clearly as a point of agreement by the group, it should not be taken as more than the expression of a position in the range of professional opinion on the topic being discussed. [...] The working group considers that the role of science is to develop the tools necessary to facilitate implementation of the PA and to evaluate candidate management procedures which may be developed in this context. [...] The absence of adequate scientific information shall not be used as a reason for postponing or failing to take conservation and management measure." Though many of the elements of PA are being explored in current resource evaluation and management practices within DFO, the added value of implementing a PA is the packaging of all of these elements together as a guiding framework. [...] Objectives of the workshop (Rice) T he stated objective of the Workshop is to move ahead quickly with the implementation of the precautionary approach for domestic stocks; to pursue the quantification of uncertainty and risk; to develop conceptual frameworks/approaches for testing harvest strategies; and to plan further work for the high priority project on the precautionary approach. [...] Legal framework for precautionary approach (Richards) The precautionary approach is now embodied in a variety of agreements, including (i) 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; (ii) FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries; (iii) Agreement for the implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the conserva.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop represents the culmination of a three-year research project aiming at developing concepts & tools for the implementation of the precautionary approach (PA) for Canadian fisheries. The workshop report begins with a review of the project and presentations on the development of PA experiences in Canada & other areas. The report then presents case studies, identified as the mechanism for gaining insight into the PA, that focussed on exploring conceptual frameworks and on identifying the risks associated with different potential management strategies. This is followed by reports from breakout groups formed to facilitate small-group discussion on implementation of the PA. Finally, proposals for a generic framework for a PA are presented along with directions for future activities. Appendices include a checklist for implementation of a PA framework and a report on PA implementation for Canadian harvest fisheries.

Download or read book The Future of Fisheries Science in North America written by Richard J. Beamish and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-07 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries science in North America is changing in response to a changing climate, new technologies, an ecosystem approach to management and new thinking about the processes affecting stock and recruitment. Authors of the 34 chapters review the science in their particular fields and use their experience to develop informed opinions about the future. Everyone associated with fish, fisheries and fisheries management will find material that will stimulate their thinking about the future. Readers will be impressed with the potential for new discoveries, but disturbed by how much needs to be done in fisheries science if we are to sustain North American fisheries in our changing climate. Officials that manage or fund fisheries science will appreciate the urgency for the new information needed for the stewardship of fish populations and their ecosystems. Research organizations may want to keep some extra copies for a future look back into the thoughts of a wide range of fisheries professionals. Fisheries science has been full of surprises with some of the surprises having major economic impacts. It is important to minimize these impacts as the demand for seafood increases and the complexities of fisheries management increase.

Download or read book Aquaculture Law and Policy written by David L. VanderZwaag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-10-16 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aquaculture industry is fast expanding around the globe and causing major environmental and social disruptions. The volume is about getting a 'good governance' grip on this important industry. The book highlights the numerous law and policy issues that must be addressed in the search for effective regulation of aquaculture. Those issues include among others: the equitable and fair assignment of property rights; the design of effective dispute resolution mechanisms; clarification of what maritime laws apply to aquaculture; adoption of a proper taxation system for aquaculture; resolution of aboriginal offshore title and rights claims; recognition of international trade law restrictions such as labeling limitations and food safety requirements; and determination of whether genetically modified fish should be allowed and if so under what controls. This book will appeal to a broad range of audiences: undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic researchers, policy makers, NGOs, practicing lawyers and industry representatives.

Download or read book The Precautionary Principle in the 20th Century written by Paul Harremoes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary principle is widely seen as fundamental to successful policies for sustainability. It has been cited in international courts and trade disputes between the USA and the EU, and invoked in a growing range of political debates. Understanding what it can and cannot achieve is therefore crucial. This volume looks back over the last century to examine the role the principle played or could have played, in a range of major and avoidable public disasters. From detailed investigation of how each disaster unfolded, what the impacts were and what measures were adopted, the authors draw lessons and establish criteria that could help to minimise the health and environmental risks of future technological, economic and policy innovations. This is an informative resource for all those from lawyers and policy-makers, to researchers and students needing to understand or apply the principle.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workshop referred closely to the results of a first workshop held in Bangkok in 2002 (The International Workshop on Factors Contributing to Unsustainability and Overexploitation in Fisheries) but aimed more specifically at answering the following three major questions: What are the major obstacles to the implementation of major legal instruments? What are the main lessons learned and the possible paths to solutions for improved implementation? What are the possible gaps that may exist in these instruments to guide the international community in improving the management of marine fisheries? The workshop was based on a review of eleven case studies, each relating to one of the following categories of fishery: large volume small pelagics; tuna and tuna-like species; large volume demersals; and coastal fisheries. This publication contains the report of the Workshop, discussion papers containing case studies and notes submitted by participants. The document, and in particular the conclusions adopted by workshop participants, will serve as a basis for further analytical work aimed at improved fisheries management and a more effective implementation of major international fisheries instruments.
