Equal Access: Making  Fisheries Management More Accountable

Accountability.Fish

How to get all stakeholders interest back in sustainanable international fisheries management

Decisions made by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) have far reaching consequences for different stakeholder groups all around the world, be they consumers, workers, retailers, or the general public. For too long, nations have made backdoor deals leading to decisions that are increasingly at odds with their commitments on climate, biodiversity, and food security. Moreover, these decisions take place behind closed doors, not following scientific advice or sharing accurate data on their fleet’s fishing activity, neither ensuring compliance with agreed rules, or exercising precaution. To help ensure that RFMO decision-making reflects the interests - and input - of all stakeholders, not just large scale fisheries, we propose Equal Access Principles be adopted, implemented, and enforced in all global RFMOs. This should deliver the transparency and accountability that are currently lacking and make these organisations fit for global, 21st century fisheries management. In this short, one hour online event Accountability.Fish invited experienced RFMO-observers from the market and NGO-side to share their experiences. Accountability.Fish director Ryan Orgera will discuss and explain the 12 Equal Access Principles and why it might be in your direct interest to endorse them (https://principles.fish).
