What does it do?
Once completed, fishery practitioners can use the outputs of the tool to strengthen attributes within a system and improve project design to account for gaps and weaknesses in policy and governance systems.
How does it work?
Strong and well-designed fisheries law and policy and an effective governance system are critical to ensuring durable sustainable fisheries. The Fisheries Policy and Governance Analysis Tool helps determine the effectiveness of a fishery’s policies and governance system at multiple levels of management.
How can it help you?
With this tool, fishery practitioners can:
- Identify attributes that influence the effectiveness of a governance and policy system.
- Score attributes of their fishery system, based on their presence in the system and level of implementation.
- Evaluate weaknesses in existing fisheries laws, policies and the governance system that might create barriers to effective management and reform.
