I am undertaking a compilation of managed shark fisheries, specifically outside of the following countries: Canada/US/Australia/NZ/South Africa/UK-Ireland/Norway. For a 'managed fishery' there ideally should be:
i. annual collection of statistics ii. some form of management objectives and policies iii. regulations of some form to achieve objectives and implement policies. iv. a periodic review and management plan update process.
The management could be at a national, regional or local level.
I would be most grateful to learn of siutations where such management is happening.
