| dc.description | This circular reviews recent progress and approaches made by FAO and other organizations to reporting on the status and trends of world fisheries. It includes a brief introduction on events that stimulated the creation of the ACFR Working Party on Status and Trends of Fisheries that resulted in this review, including the decision to prepare a draft International Plan of Action on the issue. Chapter 2 addresses the general issues that require attention as identified in the Code of Conduct for Re sponsible Fisheries, including the changing requirements resulting from international instruments and national laws, which are direct responses to changing perspectives on the information requirements to address sustainability, and the rising demand from all stakeholders for transparency and objectivity. The Circular then briefly reviews FAO’s global perspective (Chapter 3) and approaches to reporting and research by a range of global, regional and national institutions (Chapter 4). It concludes with a general discussion of approaches to meeting information standards, quality and accessibility, including issues concerning frameworks, standards, quality assurance, the conduct of working groups, and suggestions for the development of a method for improving fishery information upon which status and trends reports might be based. In the latter area it provides a conceptual and generalized framework for a user-oriented method (as part of the FIGIS programme) for registering stock assessment and stock status information. Suggested templates for this are in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 offers brief case studies on the ways fishery status and trends are reported by three institutions: the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). | |
