Abstract
|
Vanuatu’s inshore (reef and lagoon) areas extend over approximately 4110km2 (Spalding et al, 2001). It is an important habitat for an array of inshore marine life that supports 80% of the country’s rural dwellers who depend largely on fisheries and agriculture for their economic and social sustenance, and food security. Vanuatu’s geographical location makes its corals reefs vulnerable and susceptible to natural phenomena, such as cyclones, the effects of climate change, earthquakes and strong waves. These have influenced, in a fundamental way, development processes of the country’s coral reefs over hundreds of years. The Vanuatu Coral Reef Monitoring Network, through its Reef Check Programme, has surveyed 57 sites in 11 regions throughout the islands. These were to identify and confirm current threats to coral reefs so that measures to reduce or prevent the impact of such threats could be developed.

Abstract
|
The contemporary legal regime for marine capture fisheries is dominated by management based on maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This study examines the law, science, politics and practice of MSY in a selection of developing archipelagic states to assess whether and how MSY is being used in the management of single fish species and as part of a broader ecosystem approach to fisheries management.

Abstract
|
The growing number of countries investigating the potential for releasing cultured juveniles to augment coastal fisheries resulted in the First International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching (ISSESR) in Norway in 1997. The 1st and 2nd ISSESR, in Japan in 2002, were instrumental in developing methods for mass production of environmentally fit juveniles and for releasing them in responsible ways. The 3rd ISSESR, held in the U.S.A. in 2006 (www.SeaRanching.org), ushered the discipline into a new era. The major advances included: (1) definitions of the various objectives for releasing cultured juveniles (restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching); (2) a framework for integrating releases within their fisheries management context, including tools for quantitative assessment; (3) a systematic, transparent, and stakeholderparticipatory planning process to determine whether releases have a cost-effective role to play in managing a fishery; (4) a comprehensive case study (blue crabs in Chesapeake Bay) describing the multi-disciplinary approach needed to evaluate the potential benefits of releases; and (5) a suite of other lessons to guide stakeholders in evaluating the potential for and implementation of releases.

Abstract
|
There are concerns about the sustainability of the world’s capture fisheries at the current total level of ~96 million tons per year. The warning signals are an increase in the proportion of depleted or recovering stocks, from about 10% in 1974 to 28% in 2004, and a corresponding decrease of under- to moderately exploited stocks from about 40% to 24%. It is widely acknowledged that reductions in fishing effort and restoration of fish habitats are needed to improve resilience of capture fisheries. Nevertheless, for some coastal fisheries, application of aquaculture technology through restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching also promises to help restore lost production and possibly increase harvests beyond historical levels. However, application of this technology still has a long way to go before integrated management systems are in place that successfully address all the biological, ecological, social, cultural, and economic issues. The main challenges include identifying when and where to use the interventions to add value to other forms of management; integrating these initiatives with institutional and fisheries management regimes; monitoring success of the interventions; producing cultured juveniles cost-effectively; and releasing them in the wild so that they survive in high proportions. We summarize progress to date by describing the main lessons learned from 30 years of research into the potential for releasing cultured juveniles into coastal fisheries, and from application of this technology at various scales.We also describe other lessons to be learned from stocking freshwater habitats and other emerging issues for enhanced coastal fisheries, such as market opportunities and the need to develop widely accepted definitions for “restocking,” “stock enhancement,” and “sea ranching.” These definitions are needed so that nations can report and monitor different strategies used to improve productivity of capture fisheries.

Abstract
|
Vietnam's marine fisheries are considered to be small scale and are concentrated in coastal near-shore waters.This has resulted in heavy pressure on near-shore fisheries resources. Near-shore fisheries are considered by fishers and the government to be over-exploited,causing hardship for many coastal communities.This paper reviews and analyzes changes in policy towards small-scale fisheries in Vietnam over the last two decades.The primary issues facing the small-scale fisheries in Vietnam are to restructure the near-shore fisheries and to address over-capacity.Recommended actions include improved fisheries statistics,resources for provincial fisheries staff,and a coordinated and integrated approach involving a mixed strategy of resource management;resource restoration; economic and community development; and new governance arrangements.
