Abstract

The Workshop on Bycatch Management and Low-impact Fishing held in Kuwait City, the State of Kuwait, on 9-12 December 2012 was convened to develop the concept of a Regional Action Plan on how bycatch can be more effectively managed and to reduce impacts of fishing on the environment. The meeting reviewed the current knowledge on bycatch in the Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) / Gulf Cooperation Council region and considered priority follow-up action. The workshop adopted a draft concept document in the form of a Regional Action Plan for managing the environmental impacts of fishing in the RECOFI region. Workshop participants agreed that the primary objective a regional action plan was to ensure the longterm livelihoods of those involved in the fisheries sector through the adoption of responsible fishing practices and that elements of the plan should interalia: (i) prioritize responsible fishing through embedding the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) in relevant national policies, (ii) minimize the impact of trawling on the sensitive habitats and reduce the impact on vulnerable species, both target and non-target, (iii) provide a rational approach to fleets for reducing bycatch, discards and gear loss, (iv) adopt a comprehensive approach that recognizes the differing environmental, economic and social conditions of the various fisheries within the region, (v) raise awareness, train and incentivize stakeholders about sustainable fishing Workshop participants also agreed that the stages of the regional action plan should include as a priority: a regional analysis and diagnosis followed by action implementation.

Abstract

This book comes after several decades of outstanding and successful research that has helped ameliorate some of the most important and controversial fisheries issues in the world – those associated with the unwanted wastage of fish from by-catch and discarding. The 8 chapters encompass contributions from 27 of the world’s leading experts in by-catch reduction. They take the reader through most aspects of the field at a variety of scales and viewpoints. They examine the methodologies used to develop by-catch reduction techniques and provide new avenues for assisting and broadening such work. Case studies are provided that encompass most of the world’s fishing techniques and regions. Solutions developed for the most problematic fishing methods in terms of by-catch, selectivity and habitat damage are examined in significant detail in addition to ways to reduce the by-catch of charismatic species like marine mammals and sea-birds. By-catch reduction in less infamous fishing methods is also examined with chapters on recreational fishing and trapping. The book shows how the lessons learned in reducing by-catch can be applied to ameliorate emerging, broader issues concerning the impacts of fishing on entire ecosystems. Finally, the book examines the most vital phase of by-catch reduction work - its uptake and extension into fishing practices. This book will prove an invaluable tool for any fisheries professional or lay person interested in by-catch reduction or, indeed, anyone trying to resolve a particular by-catch problem in their fishery.
