Resumen
Descripción
The EAF-Nansen Project has designed a university-level training course on the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) that it has already run in partnership with a number of universities in Africa. PowerPoint resources were developed specifically for the EAF course including standard modules and lecture notes. This handbook has been conceived to complement the PowerPoint presentations and to bring in one place the examples given in the course, key reference materials, suggested readings, exercise s and case studies to support the trainers and trainees. The handbook has eight course units and is expected to be run over a period of three to four weeks. Units 1 to 4 provide a general introduction to global fisheries, fisheries management and principles of the ecosystem approach to fisheries. Units 5 to 8 are on the main steps of the EAF planning process that results in the formulation and implementation of a fisheries management plan. Each unit is covered in a separate chapter that opens wi th the objectives and what the student is expected to know at the end of the unit.
