Developing an Ecosystem-based Approach for Ocean Management in the PICES Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
This section is an effort to identify the efforts of PICES member countries in moving toward adoption of an EBM approach for fisheries and other sectors. Member countries were asked to confirm their commitments to, or incorporation of ecosystem-based management (EBM) actions or principles, into current fisheries and ocean management. As reported below, there is a wide range of effort in this regard, with considerable variation in approach and with respect to how comprehesive management actions turn out to be. The PICES Working Group on Ecosystem-based Management Science and its Application to the North Pacific (WG 19) regards these efforts as indicative of the progress toward EBM – especially with respect to fisheries from which we can compare experience and gain knowledge. None of the PICES member countries can be seen as fully implementing an ecosystem-based approach even for the fisheries sector, yet it is apparent that each member is seeking to employ and learn from the experience of implementing EBM. It is the hope of WG 19 that these experiences will be expanded upon and that as an EBM approach encompassing multiple sectors is developed among PICES countries, PICES will provide a significant focal point for documenting, synthesizing and comparing national experiences.
