DRAFT POLICIES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 2005 |
Introduction
The Minister of Environemental Affairs and Tourism, Mr Marthinus van Schalkwyk, published the final fisheries policies which will guide the allocation of long term commercial fishing rights in 2005.
The publication of the final fisheries policies follows a wide consultative process undertaken by the department which include public consultations with more than 6000 fishers from more than 53 fishing communities.
The final policies remain committed to the core consideration set out in the draft General Policy. These core considerations confirm the commitment to carefully balancing a range o needs, including securing:
- The biological sustainability of harvesting particular fish stocks
- Increased monitoring of the ecological impacts of fishing
- The continued transformation of the fishing industry; and
- Equitable access by fishers along our coast to fish so as to protect access to an important food source
