Background
The global symposium on Ecosystem Approaches to Fisheries that substantially launched ecosystem-oriented fisheries management approaches was held in Reykjavik in 2001. It is now time to evaluate over two decades of fisheries work in an ecosystem context, given the multiple pressures still facing marine fisheries as well as new challenges and conditions confronting the world ocean. The need for a global symposium on Fisheries Management in an Ecosystem Context (FIMEC) to revisit the global progress towards FIMEC more broadly is apparent and timely.
The aim of the Symposium is to: Convene global practitioners of Fisheries Management in an Ecosystem Context, to Assess progress on the advancement of FIMEC, Discover lessons learned from decades of practical implementation, and Establish a future trajectory for the discipline and practice of fisheries, by bringing together multiple disciplines and expertise from around the world, emphasizing experiences from all countries and cultures.
