SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES Sample Clauses

SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES. Habitat loss, poor water quality, non-native and invasive species, toxics and fishing pressure continue to threaten the sustainability of the Chesapeake Bay’s fisheries. Sustaining fish and shellfish populations contributes to a strong economy and maritime culture and supports a healthy ecosystem for all Bay watershed residents. Blue Crab Abundance 4 Outcome Blue Crab Management Outcome GOAL: Protect, restore and enhance finfish, shellfish and other living resources, their habitats and ecological relationships to sustain all fisheries and provide for a balanced ecosystem in the watershed and Bay. 🡒 Maintain a sustainable blue crab population based on the current 2012 target of 215 million adult females. Refine population targets through 2025 based on best available science. 🡒 Manage for a stable and productive crab fishery including working with the industry, recreational crabbers and other stakeholders to improve commercial and recreational harvest accountability. By 2018, evaluate the establishment of a Bay-wide, allocation-based management framework with annual levels set by the jurisdictions for the purpose of accounting for and adjusting harvest by each jurisdiction. Oyster Outcome Forage Fish Outcome Fish Habitat Outcome Continually increase finfish and shellfish habitat and water quality benefits from restored oyster populations. Restore native oyster habitat and populations in 10 tributaries by 2025 and ensure their protection. 🡒 🡒 Continually improve the Partnership’s capacity to understand the role of forage fish populations in the Chesapeake Bay. By 2016, develop a strategy for assessing the forage fish base available as food for predatory species in the Chesapeake Bay. 🡒 Continually improve effectiveness of fish habitat conservation and restoration efforts by identifying and characterizing critical spawning, nursery and forage areas within the Bay and tributaries for important fish and shellfish, and use existing and new tools to integrate information and conduct assessments to inform restoration and conservation efforts. VITAL HABITATS Increasing needs for land and resources have resulted in fragmentation and degradation of many habitats across the watershed while also challenging the health of many Bay watershed species. Conserving healthy habitats and restoring the connectivity and function of degraded habitats is essential to the long-term resilience and sustainability of the ecosystem and the region’s quality of life.

SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES based livelihoods. Lack of training, equipment, and basic access to credit by SSFs is limiting their livelihoods, business growth, and implementation of sustainable practices. Lack of access to credit is often the result of a misguided perception that the fishers lack assets and creditworthiness. SSFs cannot access national insurance schemes without appropriate registration and licensing, but they often are unaware of this requirement or the benefits of registering. Their options for livelihoods are further hindered by lack of capacity or understanding of post-harvest quality standards and underutilized functional fish centers, resulting in value and market losses and inaccessible niche markets.
