Although few measures and strategies are specifically developed for the sea bass fishery at the national level, the decision-making process<br />

is quite capable of producing such measures and strategies when deemed necessary. There are established decision-making processes<br />

that result in measures and strategies to achieve fishery-specific objectives(1-80).<br />

Consultation processes exist between the national authorities, the fishing industry and NGO‘s. Decision making processes respond to serious<br />

and other important issues identified in relevant research, monitoring, evaluation and consultation, in a transparent, timely and adaptive<br />

manner and take account of the wider implications of decisions (2-80).<br />

A specific policy for the UoC has not been developed. Since the landings of this fishery are relatively low compared to other fishing sectors in<br />

the Netherlands, the fishery has not attracted much attention from fishery managers or NGO‘s.<br />

CONDITION: The establishment of a more formal decision making process for the sea bass fishery, including research and consultation and<br />

evaluation against management objectives, has been formulated as a condition.<br />

3.2.3 Compliance and<br />

enforcement:<br />

Monitoring, control<br />

and surveillance<br />

mechanisms ensure<br />

the fishery‘s<br />

management<br />

measures are<br />

enforced and<br />

complied with.<br />

(1-60) Monitoring, control and<br />

surveillance mechanisms exist,<br />

are implemented in the fishery<br />

under assessment and there is<br />

a reasonable expectation that<br />

they are effective.<br />

(1-80) A monitoring, control<br />

and surveillance system has<br />

been implemented in the<br />

fishery under assessment and<br />

has demonstrated an ability to<br />

enforce relevant management<br />

measures, strategies and/or<br />

rules.<br />

(1-100) A comprehensive<br />

monitoring, control and<br />

surveillance system has been<br />

implemented in the fishery<br />

under assessment and has<br />

demonstrated a consistent<br />

ability to enforce relevant<br />

management measures,<br />

strategies<br />

and/or rules.<br />
