... green fisheries require accessing or raising the necessary funds to meet the economic, environmental and social goals in order to ensure the long-term future of fishing activities and the sustainable use of fishery resources. Financing is required for measures to adapt the fishing fleet; promote the use of appropriate gear; strengthen markets in fishery products; promoting partnerships between researchers and fishers; diversify and strengthen economic development in areas affected by the decline in fishing activities; and provide technical assistance and(human) capacity building in developing countries. 3, record 1, English, - ecofishery

Since 1996 the green sea urchin commercial fishery has been restricted to areas with a known catch history. To encourage the development of this fishery in a scientifically based manner, Fisheries and Oceans, in consultation with the West Coast Green Sea Urchin Association, have developed an exploratory fishing protocol. The protocol has been developed to allow expanded commercial harvest while collecting data to improve our understanding of the resource. 2, record 4, English, - exploratory%20fishing%20protocol
