Abstract:
|
"This document proposes a plan for implementing the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (Code). More specifically, this is a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implementation plan that responds to the code's provisions in areas of NMFS jurisdiction or major involvement. The action steps in the plan address the key elements of sustainable marine fisheries, including: marine fisheries resources; resource habitats; the users of the resource; marine aquaculture; and some of the tools that NMFS uses to achieve its objectives and meet its obligations in these areas, especially fisheries science, international agreements, and trade activities."
