October 23, 2000 All four fishing industry associations in Rhode Island endorsed a code of responsible fishing recently in an effort to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable fisheries and to improve the public perception of the commercial fishing industry. According to David Beutel, a fisheries researcher at the University of Rhode Island who played a key role in generating support among the fishermen, "the code standardizes the concept of responsibility and unites people behind responsible fishing methods." The Rhode Island Fisheries Industry Principles for Responsible Fisheries is based on guidelines established by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1996 and adopted by the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1997. In the last few months, the code was adopted by the Ocean State Fishermen's Association, the Rhode Island Shellfishermen's Association, the Rhode Island Lobstermen's Association, and the Rhode Island Commercial Fishermen's Association. The Rhode Island Seafood Council, which represents the fish processing and handling sector of the fishing industry, also endorsed the code. The intent of the U.N. code was to have it filter down to state and local organizations. So Beutel, a former commercial fisherman, and his colleagues at the Rhode Island Sea Grant Program took the initiative to contact the industry groups.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) should have authority to specify the maximum number of vessels that may participate in any opening of the salmon fishery. Area Harvest Committees should have authority to determine how the number of vessels in any fishery opening is to be selected. Failure to comply with DFO’s limit on the number of vessels should result in closure of the fishery. Coordination of Fishing DFO should engage the Integrated Harvest Planning Committee without delay about how best to implement new fisheries coordination arrangements.

Communications Branch Quick Links Directory Hatcheries Libraries Office Locations Research Facilities Tide Tables Fishery Notices -Commercial Notices -Recreational Notices Shellfish Closures Media Room Education Materials Publications/Reports Time and again, fishers and organizations we consulted were critical of the way fisheries are managed. Indeed, we found a general lack of confidence in the ability of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to manage fisheries. These concerns, together with new challenges to management posed by treaty settlements and conservation needs, have led us to focus particular attention on the question of management. In this chapter we examine the way in which fisheries are managed, especially the salmon fishery, and consider ways in which management can be adapted to meet these challenges. Our discussion focuses on the need to move towards co-management arrangements. Alternative Models of Fisheries Management In the fisheries, management refers to the full spectrum of activities: conservation of fish stocks and their habitats, control of catches, provision of rights of access to resources, allocation among fishers, monitoring of harvests and regulatory compliance and enforcement. DFO has primary responsibility for all these.

INFORMATION ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF FINLAND January 2005 FISHERIES IN FINLAND Aquaculture is economically important, more so than capture fisheries, with the most important cultured species being rainbow trout raised in sea cages. LOCATION AND MAIN LANDING PLACES Fishing port Herring Sprat Salmon Cod Trout White Fish Wendace Total Kaskinen Uusikaupunki Rauma Reposaari Kasnäs Baggö Konikarvo (Rahja) Jurmo Bergö Klobbskat Total GENERAL AIMS AND OBJECTIVES to maintain maximum permanent productivity of the waters; to ensure that the fish stocks are exploited rationally and with due attention to fishery viewpoints; to ensure that the fish stocks are managed and expanded; and to avoid measures that might harmfully or adversely affect nature or the balance of nature. Apart from the resource management policy, the CFP is comprised of three key strands: structural policy, market policy and international agreements. Structural policy is aimed at improving the balance between catching capacity and available resources by limiting fishing effort, and to support diversification within and outside the sector. Opportunities to fish in third country waters are also secured through the CFP. MANAGEMENT TOOLS Under the CFP, management is based on regulating the quantities of fish caught, through a system of Total Allowable Catches (TACs), complemented by technical conservation measures. Technical measures include minimum mesh size, minimum fish size, area and temporal closures. Fleet capacity reference levels and rules are also used to manage fishing capacity.

Environmental Terrorist Actions Reprehensible, Says ICFA Greenpeace Sabotage Wreaks Mayhem On Innocent Crew "Acts of Violence at sea endanger fishermen and others who depend on the oceans for their livelifood," said Richard E.Gutting Jr.,Executive Secretariat for ICFA. "Rather than resorting to piracy and vandalism, Greenpeace should act within the framework of international law and seek peaceful solutions through the International Whaling Commission. To endanger the lives of fishermen through reckless sabotage is reprehensible and should be condemned. "Many environmental groups are able to make their case without resorting to eco-terrorism. Violence is a needless and counterproductive strategy which serves only to discredit those who resort to it." Gutting concluded. The International Coalition of Fisheries Associations is a broad coalition of Asian, European, North American and Oceanic commercial fishing organizations that promotes international cooperation between fisheries managers and seafood businesses worldwide.

Some have real management powers and make decisions on allowable catches, quota allocations by fishing nation, and technical management measures (on mesh size, fishing seasons, closed areas, etc.). Many have a purely advisory role and foster statistics collection, information exchange and scientific analysis. These only advise members on management and provide a forum, as well as training opportunities, in contributing to capacity-building. Many of the latter are established under the aegis of FAO. Institutions United Nations institutions. A large number of international organizations deal with fisheries but are not involved in fisheries management. Although it is not possible to review them all ,a number of relevant international institutions are established under the United Nations, such as:

One laboratory in Jamaica takes part in the ‘ Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity (CARICOMP) field project’. It monitors coral reef, mangrove and seagrass sites in Discovery Bay . The collected output of such monitoring, throughout the region, was published as CSI Papers CARICOMP. Caribbean Coral Reef, Seagrass and Mangrove Sites ’. In addition to continued support for systematic biological monitoring, a particular effort is being made at a selected number of sites to analyse the socio-economic and cultural dynamics of natural resource use. The data generated by the CARICOMP project are collated at the Data Management Centre at the University of the West Indies in Kingston.
