The OECD Review of Fisheries 2020 aims to support policy makers and sector stakeholders in their efforts to deliver sustainable and resilient fisheries that can provide jobs, food, and livelihoods for future generations. The Review updates and analyses the OECD fisheries support estimate (FSE) database, the most comprehensive, detailed, and consistent collection of country level data on governments support to fisheries. It also presents and analyses newly-assembled data on the health of fish stocks; on the management of key stocks of commercial interest; and on the governance of fisheries across OECD countries and emerging economies with large fishing sectors. The report sheds light on how governments are managing fisheries to minimise detrimental impacts on resources and ecosystems, eliminate illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, while increasing the socio-economic benefits from fishing. It suggests priorities for action both at the national level and for the international community.

Governing fisheries

Good governance is fundamental to ensuring the equitable and sustainable management of global fisheries and to facilitate policy change. This chapter presents the results of two OECD surveys which collected data on key elements of governance systems for national and multilateral fisheries. It examines decision-making processes, the use of data for evidence-based policymaking, the role of advisory groups to facilitate stakeholder participation and to increase transparency of fisheries governance, and the role of primary institutions in charge of fisheries policy with a view to increasing policy coherence between different sectors of the blue economy.
