Workshop on the preparation of management plans for specific fisheries. Zanzibar, Tanzania
Over the last few years, many fisheries managers have advocated preparing and implementing specific fisheries management plans, with some countries having produced such plans and, in some cases, started implementing them. The aim of the workshop was to extract lessons learned from experience gained and to transform them into recommendations for the future development of specific fisheries management plans. Participation in the workshop was limited to people from the Eastern and Southern Africa – Indian Ocean (ESA-IO) region with direct experience on the preparation of specific management plans. Participants were from Comoros, Kenya, Mauritius/Rodrigues, Madagascar, Seychelles, and Tanzania/Zanzibar. The format of the workshop included preparatory work in the form of a questionnaire that was sent to the participants prior to the workshop and which was aimed at gathering information from each participant on the way fishery management plans are developed. During the workshop, detailed dis cussions were held on six key steps that were also set as headings in the questionnaire: the idea, developing the proposal, securing the go ahead for the project, compiling the management plan, government endorsement of the plan and implementation.
