Which are the priority issues in addressing fisheries unsustainability and overexploitation and what are the be st practical approaches to address these factors in order to contribute to responsible fisheries management? Preliminary considerations were also given to related issues such as how and in what way these factors were addressed in international fisheries instruments and whether the current instruments are sufficient to address these factors. This document contains the report of the workshop as well as discussion papers prepared for the workshop and notes submitted by participants. Th is document and, in particular, the conclusions and recommendations adopted by Workshop participants can serve as a basis for further work aimed at improved fisheries management and a more effective implementation of major international fisheries instruments.
