NOAA Fisheries Implementation Plan of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
8 February 2012
This document is an update of the 1997 National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS)
implementation plan for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (Code).
This updated plan identifies key innovations in NMFS’ jurisdiction or involvement that respond to the Code’s provisions for responsible and sustainable fisheries.
The action steps of this plan address the key elements of responsible and sustainable fisheries, including:
resource users (and allocations to resource users);
marine aquaculture; and
tools to meet NMFS objectives and responsibilities: fisheries science, international
agreements, trade activities.
