Der Vorsorgeansatz im Fischereimanagement

Since 1988 the ‘Precautionary Principle’ for human activities in the global environment has rapidly gained recognition in UN conferences (especially UNCED, Rio de Janeiro, 1992). For fisheries the UN Agreement on the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks was a milestone for the implementation of the Precautionary Approach to fisheriesmanagement. The International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) and the Scientific Council of NAFO (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation) were requested to implement the Precautionary Approach in the advice for fisheries management. The ICES concept for implementationconsists of stock specific biological and management reference points, harvest control rules and recovery plans in case of overfished stocks. The NAFO concept is similar.
