Editorial
Welcome to this
issue of the Fisheries Newsletter. A two-day workshop to discuss
ecosystem approaches to coastal fisheries and aquaculture was
held in Noumea, from 29 to 30 October 2007.
Most countries and
territories in the region have committed to apply ecosystem
approaches to the management of their islands, coasts and oceans
by 2010 under the Implementation Plan of the World Summit on
Sustainable Development. Several models have been developed for
implementing the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries, but no one
model fits all situations, and the inclusion of aquaculture
introduces additional issues.
