Harvest Strategy

A harvest strategy is an agreed process used to manage a fishery. The elements of a harvest strategy include what and how data is collected, how the data is assessed, rules for what happens if indicators hit certain levels and the management actions that are intended to achieve agreed ecological, economic and/or social objectives.  A havest strategy clearly describes what is considered a ‘healthy’ or sustainable fish stock, what needs to be measured to see if the fish stock is healthy, and what intervention needs to be taken if the stock is considered unhealth.  Harvest strategies are transparent and consistent decision-making frameworks that give stakeholders an understanding of how fisheries will be managed.
