Ecosystem-Based Management
This holistic approach to fishing considers the entire ecosystem, protecting biodiversity and mitigating adverse climate effects by preserving essential functions and services.
Catch Shares and Quotas
By allocating specific shares of a total allowable catch to individual fishers or groups, catch shares encourage responsible fishing, reducing overfishing and contributing to climate change mitigation.
Selective Gear Techniques
Selective gear techniques reduce bycatch, promote fish stock sustainability and help maintain the marine ecosystem balance.
Aquaculture Practices
Sustainable aquaculture can provide a consistent supply of fish without depleting wild stocks, thus reducing the carbon footprint associated with fishing practices.
Fishery Management Programs
Effective fishery management programs ensure long-term sustainability by setting quotas and protecting habitats, which in turn helps mitigate climate impacts from overfishing.
Seasonal and Area Closures
Implementing seasonal and area closures during breeding or growth periods allows for fish stock regeneration, fostering a more resilient marine environment against climate variability.
