摘要:Humans have developed fisheries spanning entire oceans, and have the capability to overexploit the resources in any region within a very short time, as attested by numerous now-defunct fisheries. Therefore, a consensus is slowly emerging that management of fisheries, rather than focusing only on the amount of fishing effort deployed, also needs to be structured in space, with different ocean areas being targeted differently, and/or at different times, depending on the resources and habitat that they provide. In fact, ocean zoning is emerging as a major element of Ecosystem-Based (Fisheries) Management, because ecosystems are spatial entities.
