 forum recognized that key elements of sound fisheries policy and related management approaches include the need to: accept the interdependence of social, cultural, economic and ecological needs; recognize communal rights through shared governance and management responsibilities; build on customary and traditional practices; incorporate local and indigenous knowledge systems; encourage value chain approaches; support gender, disability equity and youth development; and streamline or coordinate intragovernmental responsibilities to address broader sectoral requirements as well as social needs in fishing communities.

Next steps

More work needs to be done on the topic of governance, tenure and rights-based fisheries management systems - especially for the world's extensive small-scale fisheries sector. In this regard, the forum marked a turning point in the dialogue about fishing rights, which previously had focused more on developed country experiences and industrial fisheries.

In the weeks following the forum in Cambodia, participants were surveyed to gather ideas on the way forward on the subject of governance and tenure in fisheries. The top three areas indicated by respondents for future work were:

  allocation - not only allocation processes for recognizing rights, but also the implications thereof;

  the political economy of adopting and implementing rights-based systems for fisheries;

  training for capacity development related to rights-based systems.

Additional areas of work included:

  tools for capacity development relating to rights-based systems - particularly for actions on the ground - are essential and should be developed for fishers, managers, communities and politicians;

  financing transitions to rights-based systems and sustainable fisheries;

  identifying diversification possibilities as well as alternative business or livelihood strategies for communities directly and indirectly dependent on fisheries.

Participants emphasized the importance of continuing the dialogue on fishing and tenure rights, suggesting that regional meetings could be held every one to three years, with a global meeting every five years.
