There is international consensus that many of the world's commercial fisheries are in distress. Eco-labelling schemes are increasingly perceived as a way to simultaneously maintain productivity and economic value of fisheries while providing incentives for improved fisheries management and the conservation of marine biodiversity. This review provides an overview of issues to be addressed for effective fisheries eco-labeling schemes, targeting policy makers, private industry and civil society.

Il existe un consensus international concernant l’état inquiétant de la pêche commerciale. Les mécanismes d’étiquetage écologique sont perçus de plus en plus comme un moyen de conserver la productivité et la valeur économique de la pêche tout en encourageant une meilleure gestion de la pêche et la conservation de la biodiversité marine.

Creation and effective management of marine protected areas (MPAs) have lagged behind those of protected areas on land, but they are just as important. The world urgently needs a comprehensive system of MPAs to conserve biodiversity and to help rebuild the productivity of the oceans. The aim of these guidelines is to help countries establish systems of MPAs as a key component of integrated management of coastal and marine areas and as part of their sustainable development. The various actions to make an effective MPA are set out, from early planning stages to implementation. These guidelines aim to help policy-makers, planners and field managers, whether working on conservation of nature or sustainable use of marine resources

This book begins with an example of a field education centre, explains the purpose of evaluation, and outlines the thirteen steps behind the evaluation process.

It details the steps to follow in undertaking evaluation of environmental education programmes.
