The ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) requires the broadening of conventional fisheries management to cover the ecological, human and governance dimensions of sustainable development. This broadening, in turn, also requires a broadening of the scope and number of relevant fishery management tools needed to implement EAFM. In this booklet, we introduce and summarize a range of tools that focus on managing fishing activities under EAFM, including tools to manage broader environmental issues, as well as achieving social, economic and governance objectives. These are presented as fact sheets for each management tool.
