DATA IDENTIFICATION


Name
Proportion of national fishery production by country that are catches by small-medium fishery business or Progress by countries in adopting and implementing a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognises and protects access rights from small-scale fisheries
Indicator purpose

The purpose of this indicator is to form a picture of marine activity giving countries intelligence on optimum levels of fishing, aquaculture expansion and fair and secure access to living aquatic resources.

Abstract

This indicator focuses on access to resources and markets for small-scale fisheries, in line with the Rio+20 outcome document para, 175. In order to guarantee secure access, an enabling environment is necessary which recognizes and protects small-scale fisheries right. Such an enabling environment has three key features: Appropriate legal, regulatory and policy frameworks; Specific initiatives to support small-scale fisheries; and Related institutional mechanisms which allow for the participation of small-scale fisheries organisations in relevant processes.

Other characteristics

The 32nd Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries agreed that the data submitted through the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) questionnaire could be used by Members for reporting on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

The indicator variables are chosen from three of the five questions on small-scale fisheries of the CCRF questionnaire to reflect these three aspects: 1. Are there any laws, regulations, policies, plans or strategies that specifically target or address the small-scale fisheries sector? 2. Are there any ongoing specific initiatives to implement the SSF Guidelines? 3. Does your country have an advisory/consultative body to the Ministry/Department of Fisheries in which fishers/fish workers can participate and contribute to decision-making processes? The national indicator is calculated based on these questions specifically focusing on actual efforts of promoting and facilitating access rights to small scale fisheries.

Disaggregation

The disaggregation level is the national level.

Key statistical concepts

The indicator is calculated using three variables, which are given respective weightings for the final calculation. There has not been a change in the calculation, nor the use of mixed sources. Variable 1: Existence of laws, regulations, policies, plans or strategies that specifically target or address the small-scale fisheries sector. Variable 2: Ongoing specific initiatives to implement the SSF Guidelines. Variable 3: Existence of mechanisms enabling small-scale fishers and fish workers to contribute to decision-making processes.

OTHER ASPECTS



Recommended uses

This indicator is used by the Fisheries Department to ensure safe access that recognizes and protects small-scale fishing rights.

Limitations

It should be noted that while target 14.b refers to access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets some landlocked countries with inland fisheries have taken the opportunity to report on this indicator.

Other comments

National Statistical Systems already collect fisheries-relevant data, with a focus on production, employment, and trade. Relevant concepts can be found at CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards of the Coordinating Working Party on Fisheries Statistics (CWP).
