Fisheries management. 3. Managing fishing capacity
These guidelines have been produced to supplement the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the International Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity (IPOA-Capacity). Because overcapacity is a key factor contributing to the decline of many of the world’s fisheries, the IPOA-Capacity encourages States to manage fishing capacity so that it is commensurate with sustainable use of their fish stocks. The guidelines are intended to help stakeholders, fisheries managers and policy-makers in the development and implementation of National and Regional Plans of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity. The guidelines outline the key concepts and techniques involved in monitoring, measuring and assessing capacity, and they provide information about the design and effects of different management programmes on fishing capacity. Given that the subject of managing fishing capacity is evolving, the guidelines are intended to be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances or to new information. In addition, in order to present the capacity management process in all its complexity and diversity, the wording and structure of these guidelines do not follow strictly the language and the structure of the Code, but any differences in the terminology employed should not be understood as intending reinterpretation of the Code.
