Fisheries governance
15 October – 02 November 2012, Wageningen, the Netherlands
- NFP Fellowships available – apply before 1 May February 2012 -
Introduction
The current status of the world’s living aquatic resources varies but
the number of fish stocks in trouble seems to exceed the number that
is in a good or excellent state. The causes are many, but overfishing
is a major one for which fisheries managers are often blamed. Its
complexity, diversity and dynamics and the involvement of a large
number of stakeholders, makes fisheries and aquaculture difficult to
govern.
In this training course the participants will learn about fisheries
governance and the relation with fisheries management approaches. The
course will provide insights on challenges that fisheries governance
face and explores ways to strengthen fisheries governance. It offers a
framework in which participants will acquire insights and skills to
bring stakeholders in the fisheries system together, to help them
understand each other’s perspectives, manage their conflicts and learn
together.
The training programme is interactive, and uses case studies to
illustrate the effect and impact of different management approaches
and practices. Training methods include small group activities, role
plays, excursions and individual assignments.

Ecosystem approach to fisheries
12 – 30 November 2012, Wageningen, the Netherlands
- NFP Fellowships available – apply before 1 May February 2012 -
Introduction
To manage fisheries, information about fishers, catch and effort, fish
stocks, fish processing and trade is needed. Information, its
collection, analysis and evaluation are central in this course.
Information forms the basis for policy choices, management plans,
monitoring and evaluations. In the ecosystem approach to fisheries the
scope of management activities (and the information needed) is
extended beyond the topics and groups mentioned to include the mutual
influence of fishing and the ecosystem of which the fish are part plus
the effects of other human activities on the aquatic ecosystem. The
course ‘Ecosystem approach to Fisheries’ will discuss the selection,
analysis and evaluation of the data that are needed, and will assist
you to make the step from a target species oriented approach towards
an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The course is useful
for staff from both government and NGO who are working in fisheries
management, research, higher education, training and fisheries
development.
