Implementation

In the implementation phase, the program designed “on paper” goes live “on the water”. This involves setting up the administrative systems required for a functional fishery management program, including ongoing science, monitoring, enforcement and decision making. Resources in this phase help identify the strengths and gaps in existing management infrastructure, so they can be augmented to support the new management program.
