β¦ Synopsis
In this chapter, we derive several indicators of the fisheries sectors on a country-by-country basis, and clarify the social and ecological conditions in the Asia-Pacific area. These are summarized as financial, industrial profile, marine resource diversity, food security, social security, and human resource conditions. Then, with a case from an UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in Japan, we propose a socially and ecologically compatible ecosystem-based management framework in the Asia-Pacific area. Under this framework, the local fishers are the core of the management. The most important policy measure is the human capacity building and legal protection of each fishery.
