International Guidelines to Reduce Bycatch, Discards

Zoom in font  Zoom out font Published: 2012-05-29  Origin: thefishsite
Core Tip: The FAO has developed International Guidelines on Bycatch Management and the Reduction of Discards.
International Guidelines on Bycatch Management and Reduction of Discards were developed through a participatory process involving fisheries experts, fishery managers from governments, the fishing industry, academia and non-governmental and intergovernmental organisations.

The guidelines are designed to provide guidance on management factors ranging from an appropriate regulatory framework to the components of a good data collection programme, and include the identification of key management considerations and measures necessary to ensure the conservation of target and non-target species, as well as affected habitats. 

These guidelines are voluntary and constitute an instrument of reference to help States and RFMO/As in formulating and implementing appropriate measures for the management of bycatch and reduction of discards in all fisheries and regions of the world.
