International Instruments for Managing Fisheries in the Indian Ocean
The paper sets out with a brief review of the status of marine fishery resources and the principal fisheries management issues in the Indian Ocean region. It then presents important international instruments for fisheries management and, in general terms, reviews progress in their implementation. The term ‘international’ is defined broadly to also encompass the conventions of regional or sub-regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). The paper focuses on fisheries management in the conventional sense of making optimum use of the fishery resources. Instruments addressing the protection of fish habitats from pollution and degradation are also addressed but in less detail.

defined broadly to also encompass the conventions of regional or sub-regional
fisheries management organizations (RFMOs). The paper focuses on fisheries
management in the conventional sense of making optimum use of the fishery
resources. Instruments addressing the protection of fish habitats from pollution and
degradation are also addressed but in less detail. |
