Although the principles of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) are not new, there is very little practical experience in their implementation. Translating high-level policy goals on EAF into operational objectives and actions is now the key challenge to sustainable fisheries. This booklet will:
- provide an overview of EAF, for marine capture fisheries, and its benefits;
- consider what is required to implement EAF;
- consider the range of management measures available;
- provide an overview of the management process;- outline any outstanding research requirements;
- list the main threats to the implementation of EAF.
