  9. Last slideA few country reports mention overarching legislation: -provide for communities/local authorities to manage resources at the community/local authority level Some principles in legislation: -environmental & information principles in relation to achieving sustainable use of fisheries -precautionary approach -impacts of fishing on non-target species and marine environment -biological diversity of the aquatic environment - prevention-reduction-control of pollution -prevention of damage to flora and fauna -traditional fishing methods/practices -consultative process
