From an inter-disciplinary angle, information on fisheries policy should consider
among others the following issues (Garcia, 1999):
i) Eco-biological issues: overfishing, rehabilitation, endangered species,
discards;
ii) Economic issues: economic incentives and disincentives, trade,
resource allocation;
iii) Technological issues: technologies, waste reduction;
iv) Social, cultural, political issues: labour, gender, demography, conflict,
access and allocation; and
v) Institutional and legal issues: rights, organizations, legal frameworks,
enforcement, trans-boundary negotiations. In relation to the
policymaking process, both research in support of policy
(methodologies, assessments and option analysis) and research on
policy (policy formation, processes and performance) are needed.
