SUMMARY OF THE OCEAN POLICY SUMMIT 2005: 11-13 OCTOBER 2005
Bla Bla Bla
I hope the weather was nice because personnally from reading this summary I can't see anything concrete coming out of it anytime in the near future, unless of course everyone agrees to let the fisheries be managed on a local level.
When I say local you would have to take into consideration the movements of fish and fish like species from a local perspective involving all affected LOCAL parties. Because if one party in a local migratory boundry doesn't agree to limit or conserve its catches to sustainable levels all of the other parties withing that local migratory boundary will suffer because of that one rogue entity. Percentages dependant on population I'm guessing would be the only way of allocating. Out of 100% allowable catch each local interest would get it's percentage depending upon its needs to feed its people and not over seas sales and corporate greed!
IE: Conceptual. Cod migrate from Greenland to Canada. Greenland takes massive amounts of cod there is nothing or very little left for Canada, or vice versa or even worse both try and get as much as they can. Similar to what is going on Nose, Tail, and Flemish cap.
A definite lack of leadership would be the one thing very identifiable.
There seems to be alot of talk about other peoples back yards? I guess they have destroyed their own back yards and want to help others in destroying theirs instead of rebuilding their own.
I hate to be all negative without any ideas but I believe they are looking at the forest and can't see the trees. What does Australias fishery have to do with the Grand banks? It isn't even in the same ocean!
The one glimmer of hope and light would seem to be coming from the Small Island Developing States SIDS and their willingness to protect their local fisheries from the pirates.
