Extractions: 26 July 1996 Australia's fisheries management will come under unprecedented pressure during the next decade a senior CSIRO scientist said, on the eve of the world's largest fisheries congress which opens in Brisbane on Monday. Increasing demand and falling international fish stocks will co-incide with an environmental decline in the world's oceans, to produce the toughest challenge yet to sustainable practices. According to Dr Peter Young, Chief of the CSIRO Division of Fisheries, new approaches to sustainability will need to include not just indicators of the health of stocks but also for the total marine ecosystem. "The health of a fish population can't be separated from its environment. If we can develop techniques to establish both the sustainability of the fish population and the quality of a marine ecosystem that environment can be monitored, and warning signals can be heeded. "Fisheries management will use fallow areas, marine reserves and protected nursery areas to maintain sustainability." As an example of the threat to world fisheries, Dr Young quoted the collapse of the Newfoundland cod industry, which was producing four hundred thousand tonnes of cod per year - a total equal to twice Australia's annual figure for all species. A moratorium has now been declared for this fishery.

Extractions: var MenuCreatedBy='AllWebMenus 1.3.360.'; awmAltUrl=''; From Released Fishing Lots to Community Fisheries Management: A Grassroots Experience in Establishing Community Fisheries Organizations from Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia [Cambodia, governance, fisheries management] Cambodia is one of the most productive of fresh water fisheries in the world with an annual production of 300,000-400,000 tons. The fishery is important for food security, employment and livelihood for a large portion of the population in the whole country, especially for the rural poor. A large part of the most productive fishing grounds has traditionally been managed through privatised fishing concessions for commercial exploitation, called fishing lots. While the fishing lot system provides a series of useful management regulations, the practice of fishing lot operations has spurred conflicts over access and use rights with local communities. This led the Prime Minister to order a reform of the fisheries sector in October 2000, aiming at involving fishers at community level in the management of the fisheries. Consequently, the Department of Fisheries (DoF) reduced the total area of fishing lots throughout the country by 56%, established a Community Fisheries Development Office (CFDO) and drafted a sub-decree on community fisheries development that is still under revision. Even without an established legal framework, the fisheries administration encouraged and actively supported the facilitation and establishment of community fisheries (CF) committees.

The study was carried out in twenty villages of three districts around Sirindhorn reservoir where they operate the Pla Kaew fishery in order to describe the socio-economic status, the current fisheries management procedures, including the existing regulation, implementation, and structure and institutional arrangement. It was aimed at investigating the fishers attitudes toward user involvement and co-management of fisheries. Different attitudes of the different interests towards improvement of the fisheries management were also investigated. There were 196 fishers including 96 Pla Kaew fishers and 96 non-Pla Kaew fishers who were interviewed using structured questionnaires. A PRA approach was used to involve all stakeholders in sharing the information. A feedback discussion among stakeholders was used in order to identify strategies for improving the fisheries management.

Extractions: PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - JULY 13, 1998 FISHERIES GROUPS WIN COURT CASE AGAINST MINISTER OF FISHERIES In a court case brought by the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union (UFAWU/CAW) and the Friends of the Oldman River, with the legal assistance of the Sierra Legal Defence Fund, the Federal Court of Canada has ordered the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to comply with key requirements of the Fisheries Act . The Act requires the Minister to produce an annual report to Parliament on the enforcement of the Act , including a summary of the convictions under the Act . Six months after the groups commenced the lawsuit, the Minister consented to a judgment against himself. The Judgment of the Federal Court declares that the Minister has violated the Act for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997 and requires him to produce complete annual reports for those years. The Federal Court's judgment follows a long series of demands by the groups that the Minister release the annual reports and refusals by the Minister to do so. The groups wrote to the Minister twice in late 1997 and demanded that he release annual reports for 1995, 1996 and 1997. The Minister then released reports for 1995 and 1996 that did not contain any summary of convictions under the Act . The Minister wrote to the groups to explain that he had handed over responsibility for enforcement of the Act to the provinces and that as a result his department had no idea how effectively key pollution prevention and fish habitat protection sections of the

Extractions: MEDIA RELEASE International Complaint Launched Against Canada For Failing To Enforce Fisheries Laws Wednesday, March 15, 2000 VANCOUVER: At a time when salmon species are in serious decline, British Columbia logging companies continue to destroy fish and fish habitat with impunity owing to the failure of Canada to enforce its own environmental laws. In response to this grave situation a formal complaint was filed today at the North American Commission on Environmental Cooperation by a international alliance of environmental groups represented by the Sierra Legal Defence Fund. "The failure to regulate logging practices in British Columbia poses a serious threat to fisheries," says Sierra Legal lawyer Randy Christensen. "Forest companies routinely and systematically undertake practices that harm fish and destroy fish habitat." Sierra Legal Defence Fund filed the complaint on behalf of five Canadian and United States environmental groups: the David Suzuki Foundation, Greenpeace Canada, the Sierra Club of British Columbia, the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, which is based in Washington state, and the Natural Resources Defence Council, based in Washington, D.C. Forest Practices Code is not in compliance with the federal Fisheries Act Forest Practices Code . The code, which was introduced in 1995, regulates logging on public lands.

Extractions: December 5, 2001, ANCHORAGE The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is presenting to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council its framework for significantly revising a plan to protect the ecosystems of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, after finally recognizing its previous plan was legally defective. Greenpeace, the American Oceans Campaign, and the Sierra Club hailed this announcement as an opportunity for the Council to put the needs of the ocean ecosystem before the fishing industry by significantly altering fishing practices, and are calling on the Council to put forth a true ecosystem alternative for consideration by NMFS. In response to the comments of the groups that its draft plan was fatally flawed, NMFS last week announced its intention to return to the drawing board. "If you are not alarmed by the serious declines of Steller sea lions, otters, fur seals, birds, and other marine life in the North Pacific, you're not paying attention," said Phil Kline of American Oceans Campaign. "Industrial fishing removes huge amounts of fish that are important prey for other fish and marine animals, and these removals effect the entire health of the food chain." The announcement by NMFS was spurred by a 1998 lawsuit brought by Greenpeace, American Oceans Campaign and the Sierra Club, represented by Earthjustice and Trustees for Alaska. According to the groups, industrial fishing for pollock has had devastating effects on Steller sea lions, a species unique to the Alaskan coast. Once numbering almost 250,000, the sea lion population has plummeted to under 50,000 in just 30 years and was added to the endangered species list in 1997.

Extractions: press releases FEDERAL JUDGE RULES FISHERIES SERVICE POLICIES VIOLATE LAW WASHINGTON, January 27, 2000 In yet another blow to the policies of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the federal district court of the Western District of Washington has ruled that the agency continues to violate federal law. The federal judge's ruling validates Greenpeace's concerns, raised for over a decade, that question the health of the ecosystem of the North Pacific waters. The ruling, released Tuesday in Seattle, found that the NMFS continues to violate the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This ruling follows an earlier decision by the same court that concluded the NMFS had been operating without any understanding of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and, therefore, was neglecting to identify the true impact on the environment of its decision. Specifically, the ruling states that the NMFS has completely failed to consider the effects of its management of the North Pacific groundfish fisheries on endangered species, such as the Steller sea lion. "The Fisheries Service has undermined its credibility with the Court in its ability to protect the endangered Steller sea lion," said Paul Clarke of Greenpeace. "Greenpeace has long been skeptical of the Fisheries Service's repeated concessions to the industrial trawl fleet. Now the court has shown that we were not mistaken."

A new report provides further evidence that our fisheries crisis is escalating. A record number of federally managed fish stocks are now in jeopardy from overexploitation, including 31 species that are at risk of extinction, while poor federal management and legal loopholes skirt the problem. The report Caught in the Act, released today by the Marine Fish Conservation Network, a coalition of environmentalists, fishermen, and scientists, chronicles NMFSs failures in implementing the 1996 Sustainable Fisheries Act. Under the law, NMFS and its eight management councils were directed to:
