Indicators For Sustainable Development of Marine Capture Fisheries

The guidelines provide general information on the issue of sustainable development of fisheries in order to clarify why a system of indicators is needed to monitor the contribution of fisheries to sustainable development. They are complementary to the Guidelines on Fisheries Management but provide the broader perspective needed for a sectoral and holistic approach to sustainability in fisheries. All dimensions of sustainability (ecological, economic, social and institutional) are considered as well as the key aspects of the socio-economic environment in which fisheries operate.
