Abstract

Coastal areas are also important ecologically, as they provide a number of environmental goods and services. Potentially, if managed sustainably, they can provide continuing returns without any decrease in their productivity. But, the unfolding state of coastal ecosystems, from the standpoint of fisheries production, is causing concern. A move towards fishing management that conserves biodiversity, permits sustainable utilization and recognizes the importance of species interaction is worthwhile. Recent recognition of such interactions in fishing has resulted in calls for adoption of ecosystem approaches to fishery management to rebuild and sustain populations, species and biological communities at high levels of productivity and biological diversity. The coupling of fishery management issues more directly with the issues of marine pollution, and biodiversity represents an increasing understanding of the linkages among them. This calls for changing fishery management paradigms towards a more coherent ecosystem approach.
