| dc.description.abstract | This chapter reviews the concept of sustainability in fisheries, focussing on fisheries in Europe and paying particular attention to the human dimensions of fisheries. The particular problems presented by fisheries (related to the “Tragedy of the Com- mons”) are introduced, followed by brief accounts of the importance of fisheries worldwide and of their history in Europe. We attempt to summarize the concepts embodied in fisheries management and governance and review the different dimensions (pillars) of sustainability in the context of fisheries: environmental, economic, social and institutional. We describe some current developments in management and governance of European fisheries, including the introduction of property rights, the role of ecological labelling and the concept of demand-led management, participation and co-management, marine protected areas and Integrated Marine Management. We advocate a system of governance under which more attention is placed on achieving the possible than in quantifying the unachievable, a system which delivers successful implementation of sustainabil- ity objectives based on holistic (and multidisciplinary) assessments of environ- mental, economic and social-cultural consequences of proposed actions and which is based on the full and active participation of all relevant stakeholders | pt_PT |
