'FMAs need science-based management policies'
Excerpt
Data, knowledge and management measures must be properly applied to efficiently implement science-based policies for designated fisheries management areas (FMAs) in the country, experts urged on Friday. During the first Oceana Fisheries Management Areas Summit, Edwina Garchitorena, director of the Oceans Program of the Environmental Defense Fund, explained fishery management as one that aimed to preserve a fishery’s economic value through regulations that would yield a beneficial and sustainable harvest. It would also lead to improved food security, better incomes, and enhanced protection of natural resources if maintained properly, she added.
