ABSTRACT In the Indian Ocean region fish and other marine living resources are vital for food security, local livelihoods, national economies, and future development opportunities. Of particular importance is the small-scale fishing sector, which supplies food and employment for many local people and coastal communities. To ensure the longevity of artisanal and subsistence fisheries, and healthy oceans and marine living resources, improved legal governance is critical. Most Indian Ocean States have adopted fisheries laws to achieve this goal, yet successfully balancing conservation and sustainable use of marine resources remains a challenge. To enhance fisheries laws in efficient, effective and equitable ways, inclusive governance approaches are needed. This article analyses fisheries laws in six Indian Ocean States, and critically assesses the incorporation of participatory approaches that support small-scale fisheries. The comparative analysis provides a resource that will assist States in identifying legal options to enhance public participation and inclusive fisheries governance.

印度洋渔业监管:探索支持六个国家小规模渔业的参与式方法

摘要 在印度洋地区,鱼类和其他海洋生物资源对粮食安全、当地生计、国民经济和未来发展机会至关重要。特别重要的是小规模渔业部门,它为许多当地人和沿海社区提供食物和就业机会。为了确保手工和自给渔业以及健康的海洋和海洋生物资源的长寿,改善法律治理至关重要。大多数印度洋国家已通过渔业法来实现这一目标,但成功平衡海洋资源的保护和可持续利用仍然是一项挑战。为了以高效、有效和公平的方式加强渔业法律,需要包容性治理方法。本文分析了六个印度洋国家的渔业法律,并批判性地评估支持小规模渔业的参与式方法的纳入。比较分析提供了一种资源,可帮助各国确定加强公众参与和包容性渔业治理的法律选择。
