Ecolabelling

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 the 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-labelling schemes, targeting policy-makers, private industry and civil society (e.g.NGOs and community based and fishers' organisations)

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. Cette étude donne un aperçu des problèmes qui doivent être résolus pour permettre des mécanismes efficaces d’étiquetage écologique, et s’adresse aux décideurs, au secteur privé et à la société civile.
