Accordingly, leading fishery management and development organizations are integrating
economic and community goals alongside stock health, and developing guiding principles that
support the triple-bottom-line (TBL) [15,16]. In the US, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act balances National Standard 1 to “prevent overfishing” with
National Standard 8’s mandate to provide for “sustained participation of communities” and
“minimize adverse economic impacts” (16 US Code §1851). Similarly, the EU Common Fisheries
Policy provides for “sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions” (CR 2371/
2002 Article 2).
