Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, inter-sectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks. The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Kenya with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Kenya's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAF. This report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Kenya. Drafted in July 2021, the report was submitted to the national authorities of Kenya in November 2021. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives, Kenya, endorsed this EAF Legal Report in June 2022.

The ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is a risk-based management process for the planning, management, development, regulation and monitoring of fishing and fishing-related activities. EAF addresses ecological consequences of fishing as well as social, economic and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. Adequate legislation and regulatory frameworks are key to successful implementation of the EAF. The continuous review and update of information on legislation and regulatory instruments require the analysis of existing legal frameworks at all levels of governance, to assess whether they remain in force, valid and aligned with international fisheries law standards, including the EAF. The present work was prepared with a view to provide current information on how the EAF is being implemented through national legal frameworks of selected countries in Africa. It revisits a previous legal study prepared by Anniken Skonhoft and published by FAO in 2011. A decade later, based on the scope of that study, the present work provides updated data and contributes to the knowledge on the current global and regional legal frameworks for an EAF, which are vital for EAF implementation purposes. This update also re-analysed certain countries’ national legislation and their evolution with respect to capturing the EAF requirements. Ultimately, the present work supports the legal implementation of an EAF for a holistic, integrated and innovative way of managing fisheries that promotes the participation of all relevant stakeholders and the use of best available knowledge for decision making, whilst balancing the human dimensions with the care for the environment, habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity related with fishery resources on which they depend.

The policy research initiative aims to enhance the FAO capacity to support African Member Countries’ design and implementation of aquaculture policies aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the FAO Blue Transformation vision. This study examined existing aquaculture policies at the national, regional and continental levels. It aimed to identify priorities, and policy trends, and assess their coherence with the FAO Blue Transformation Roadmap.Examination of the aquaculture objectives of Blue Transformation, the African Union Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa (PFRS), and the Regional Economic Community aquaculture priorities showed broad similarities in the policy narrative and overarching dimensions. Specifically, the PFRS aims to jump-start market-led aquaculture; the East African Community’s (EAC) goal is to promote investment in sustainable commercial aquaculture and effective biosecurity measures; the Southern African Development Community (SADC) aims to increase the contribution of aquaculture to local, national and regional economic growth and trade; the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) aims “to increase the profitability of environmentally and socially sound aquaculture to achieve continued sector growth”; and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) aims to enhance aquatic organism supplies, generate income and employment, and diversify livelihoods. However, the effectiveness of the policies depends on the dates of formulation and initiation and the level of implementation in each region. To date, these policies have influenced regional aquaculture outcomes with varying production results. For instance, SADC averaged 12 272 tonnes between 2002 and 2021, ECOWAS recorded 14 483 tonnes, EAC reached 20 967 tonnes, IGAD recorded 963 tonnes, and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) averaged 474 tonnes. Prioritizing aquaculture has resulted in public financial investments, with an average annual allocation of USD 9.44 million for ECOWAS, USD 34.62 million for EAC, USD 62.91 million for SADC, USD 33.81 million for ECCAS, and USD 1.95 million for IGAD.A number of these policy priorities were identified as common among all the Regional Economic Communities, namely: (i) environmental sustainability, including biosecurity; (ii) integration of aquaculture into national development plans; (iii) aquaculture as a source of food and nutrition security, employment, economic growth and poverty alleviation; (iv) transformation of subsistence farming to small and medium enterprises; (v) governance mechanisms to accelerate private sector investment, research, and national and regional coordination; and (vi) building resilience of aquaculture to climate change.

Ecosystems are complex and dynamic natural units that produce goods and services beyond those of benefit to fisheries. Because fisheries have a direct impact on the ecosystem, which is also impacted by other human activities, they need to be managed in an ecosystem context. The meaning of the terms "ecosystem management", "ecosystem-based management", "ecosystem approach to fisheries" (EAF), etc., are still not universally defined and progressively evolving. The justification of EAF is evident in the characteristics of an exploited ecosystem and the impacts resulting from fisheries and other activities. The rich set of international agreements of relevance to EAF contains a large number of principles and conceptual objectives. Both provide a fundamental guidance and a significant challenge for the implementation of EAF. The available international instruments also provide the institutional foundations for EAF. The FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries is particularly important in this respect and contains provisions for practically all aspects of the approach. One major difficulty in defining EAF lies precisely in turning the available concepts and principles into operational objectives from which an EAF management plan would more easily be developed. The paper discusses these together with the types of action needed to achieve them. Experience in EAF implementation is still limited but some issues are already apparent,e.g. in added complexity, insufficient capacity, slow implementation, need for a pragmatic approach, etc. It is argued, in conclusion, that the future of EAF and fisheries depends on the way in which the two fundamental concepts of fisheries management and ecosystem management, and their respective stakeholders, will join efforts or collide.

The Expert Consultation on the Development of the Sustainable Aquaculture Guidelines was held in Rome, Italy from 17 to 20 June 2019 to come out with a proposal for developing the Sustainable Aquaculture Guidelines to be presented in August 2019 at the tenth session of the Sub-Committee on Aquaculture of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI). The specific objectives of this Expert Consultation were to propose criteria for selecting case studies aimed at providing lessons learned for the development of the Sustainable Aquaculture Guidelines, and methodologies for documenting the case studies, for analysing the case studies to identify the lessons learned, and for developing the Sustainable Aquaculture Guidelines by also making use of existing guidelines. The consultation was attended by 15 experts, one resource person and FAO staff. The consultation was organized into both plenary and group discussions. The Experts agreed on a proposed methodology for identifying and selecting the lessons learned from strategies and experiences of aquaculture development worldwide; a methodology for documenting and analysing the lessons learned; a list of thematic modules; a gap analysis between existing guidelines and needs for new ones, and; an updated roadmap for the development of the Sustainable Aquaculture Guidelines.

The Ecosystem Approach in Ocean Planning and Governance takes stock of the challenges associated with implementing an ecosystem approach in ocean governance. In addition to theorizing the notion of Ecosystem Approach and its multifaceted implications, the book provides in depth analyses of lessons learned and remaining challenges associated with making the Ecosystem Approach fully relevant and operational in different marine policy fields, including marine spatial planning, fisheries, and biodiversity protection. In doing so, it adds much needed legal and social science perspectives to the existing literature on the Ecosystem Approach in relation to the marine environment. While focusing predominantly on the European context, the perspective is enriched by analyses from other jurisdictions, including the USA.

This book provides an original and groundbreaking account of the applicability and key contributions of international law to small-scale fisheries, a fisheries subsector that has been historically overlooked by governments and international legal scholarship. Small-scale fisheries constitute most of the world’s capture fisheries workforce; they sustain the livelihoods of fishers and their communities while building and transmitting traditional knowledge and culture. Significant attention has been given to small-scale fisheries by the international community over the past decade, building the momentum for dedicated research on such a topic. Nevertheless, the literature examining small-scale fisheries from an international legal perspective remains scarce. This book fills this gap by systemically examining different international legal regimes to unravel the normative foundations for securing the meaningful participation of small-scale fisheries peoples in international fisheries management. It connects the ecosystem approach, a key principle of international fisheries law, and the human rights regime to elucidate the benefits that participatory international fisheries management brings to enhance both the ecological and social aspects of fisheries sustainability. It also examines the extent to which fisheries governance is democratic, and provides an enabling framework for the integration of fishers’ knowledge into international fisheries management. It is thereby oriented toward more justice and fair outcomes for small-scale fisheries. This book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers with an interest in the governance of fisheries in international law, the law of the sea, environmental law, and human rights law, as well as to practitioners and policymakers working on the development and implementation of laws and policies governing fisheries and natural resources.

L’Initiative Pêches côtières en Afrique de l’Ouest a contribué à l’identification des principaux défis de la législation nationale sur la pêche au Cabo Verde, en Côte d’Ivoire et au Sénégal. Elle l'a fait grâce à des évaluations juridiques qui ont identifié les blocages juridiques et politiques dans la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable, l'équité et l'égalité des sexes, la protection des droits de l'homme et le degré d'alignement aux instruments internationaux tels que l'Approche écosystémique des pêches, les Directives volontaires visant à assurer la durabilité de la pêche artisanale dans le contexte de la sécurité alimentaire et de l'éradication de la pauvreté, et les normes internationales en matière de sécurité alimentaire. Le travail a suivi la même méthodologie pour les trois pays bénéficiaires, en utilisant les outils existants et en créant de nouveaux outils sur le genre et la sécurité alimentaire. Suite aux évaluations, les experts juridiques de l’Initiative ont formulé des recommandations qui ont été débattues avec les communautés et les autorités. Ces débats ont abouti à des propositions de nouveaux textes juridiques dans chaque pays. Ce rapport s'adresse aux praticiens et aux décideurs politiques. Il décrit le processus et les résultats de l'évaluation juridique au Cabo Verde. Bien que le contexte de chaque pays soit différent, la méthodologie peut être adaptée pour obtenir un résultat similaire partout où une réforme juridique est nécessaire pour garantir une pêche artisanale équitable, inclusive et durable.
