World summit on sustainable development 2002 and its implications for fisheries
The aim of this paper is to present the main fisheries and aquaculture-related outcomes of the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002, examine their implications on the Programme of Work of the Fisheries Department and stimulate discussions on the potential and appropriate follow-up actions. The World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002 agreed to the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. The Plan extensively treated issues related to fisheries. Emphasis was implicitly placed on marine fisheries but the Plan also stressed the importance of aquaculture development and small-scale fisheries. The role of FAO was expressly recognized and reference made to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its related international plans of actions and guidelines. The Plan ratified and built on commitments defined in Agenda 21 as well as the decisions adopted by the FAO Committee on Fisheries taking into account achievements already reached in their implementation. Specific deadlines were agreed on five issues: Development and Implementation of National and Regional Plans of Action to put into effect the IPOA-IUU Fishing (2004); Development and Implementation of National and Regional Plans of Action to put into effect the IPOA-Capacity (2005); Application of Ecosystem Approach (2010); Restoration of Depleted Stocks (2015); and Establishment of "representative networks" of Marine Protected Areas (2012). The Plan identified a number of actions in the area of institutional policies that would bolster its implementation, and highlighted the strengthening of national and regional capacity in marine science and management, as required action. There were no references to fisheries trade issues or to the financial resources required to facilitate the implementation of the fisheries components of the Plan.
