   Recreational fisheries.
   FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries. No. 13.
   Rome, FAO. 2012. 176 pp.


These Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries are focused on recreational fisheries and describe strategies to promote environmentally sustainable and socially
responsible management of such fisheries. To this end, the document details policy, management and behavioural recommendations for sustainable recreational fisheries
that are an increasingly important component of global fisheries. Specifically, the Guidelines translate the relevant provisions of the FAO Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fisheries into specific advice for recreational fisheries. The concept of aquatic stewardship is introduced as an overarching ethical framework needed to
achieve ecologically sustainable recreational fisheries on a global scale. Within this normative mindset, the adaptive management philosophy based on quantifiable and transparent objectives and continuous learning and feedback loops is proposed along with the acknowledgement of principles such as the ecosystem approach and the
precautionary approach. Adherence to the guidelines and recommendations presented in this document will enable policy-makers, managers and the entire recreational
fisheries sector to orient recreational fisheries towards maintaining or achieving sustainability.

Please pay particular attention to the Annex (page 157 onwards) with RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF RECREATIONAL FISHERIES
