Consultancy Report A Review of Legal and Polict Frameworks and Development od A National Circular on Trawl Fisheries Management and By Catch Reduction in Vietnam
Description
In Vietnam, coastal fisheries are considered by fishers and the government to
be over-exploited and the proportion of low value/trash fish in the total catch of
these fisheries, continue to rise. Low value/trash fish have contributed a large part
in the total catch of trawl fisheries. At the moment, there are no specific regulations
for trawl fisheries management as well as bycatch and discard reduction for these
fisheries in Vietnam. In addition, agencies such as the provincial Departments of
Capture Fisheries and Resource Protection have also lacked the resources of staff
or budget to provide the required management, monitoring, surveillance or
regulation enforcement in both Vietnam’s inshore and offshore waters. There is a
need to develop specific regulations and to strengthen monitoring, surveillance for
trawl fisheries in Vietnam. This report reviews existing national and international
legal, policy and institutional arrangements for the management of trawl fishing
operations in order to produce a first draft of a National Circular for trawl fisheries
in Vietnam. TOR/Purpose of mission/description of tasks
The objectives of this assignment are threefold (1) to review and analyze
Vietnam’s existing legal, policy and institutional arrangements for the management
of Vietnam’s trawl fishing operations, conservation and management activities to
reduce bycatch of trawl fisheries; (2) to analyse and identify potential gaps and
divergences between national and international/regional (especially those of the
FAO) legal and policy arrangements and requirements and identify how to improve
Vietnam’s legal, policy and institutional arrangements in order to enhance
compliance with international and regional requirements for trawl fisheries and
subsequent activities; and produce a check-list with these gaps and divergences as
well as recommendations to address them; and (3) to explore the issues/regimes of
trawl fisheries management in Vietnam in order to produce a first draft of a
practical and effective National Circular for trawl fisheries.
