The integration of full-spectrum ecosystem-based management in Canadian fisheries management plans / by Stacey D. Paul and Robert L. Stephenson. : Fs97-6/3350E-PDF
"Ecosystem-based management requires consideration of full-spectrum sustainability, with explicit consideration of ecological, economic, social/cultural and institutional objectives. This paper examined the scope of considerations in 17 fisheries management plans across Canada in comparison to a new comprehensive evaluation framework for full-spectrum sustainability proposed by the Canadian Research Fisheries Network. There is a gradient in the amount and specificity of objectives, information and analysis in Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMPs) in Canada. Ecological aspects, including productivity, biodiversity and habitat, were considered with explicit objectives and analysis in all IFMPs. Economic considerations varied among plans. Objectives related to viability and prosperity of fishing operations were more prevalent and more specific; economic benefits to communities were often present but aspirational, and there was little explicit attention to employment and trading relationships. Social and cultural considerations were weakest. Apart from a widespread objective reflecting Aboriginal Rights (in all plans) most other considerations were vague, and there was very little evidence of information relating to aspects including community well-being and adaptive/social capacity. Implementation of a comprehensive ecosystem approach that includes integration of ecological, economic, social/cultural and institutional objectives requires a) development of data sources for neglected elements, b) improved capacity for interdisciplinary considerations, and c) development of process(es) for review, evaluation and development of advice for full-spectrum sustainability"--Abstract, page iv.
