We Change World Fisheries Policy
His IFRAME is an innovative improvement from existing fisheries resources management and assessment method that have been used all over the world since 1950s. The world fisheries resources have been managed by three indicators, abundance of population, fishing intensity and fishing size limits. Professor Zhang noticed that marine environment of the world is facing profound problems including resource reduction and pollution in spite of such indicators, and developed an ecosystem-based assessment and management method with 25 improved indexes to protect marine resources and environment. His idea changed the trend of the world’s fisheries policy. The IFRAME includes restricts on incidental catches to protect species, amount of discards of non-economic species, loss of fishing gear to prevent pollution, intensive fishing to preserve diversity, and indiscriminate fishing without regarding economic feasibility. It is to be applied to the policies of Korean government from 2016. “The IFRAME can reduce the general risk of fisheries system by optional and intensive management, protecting marine resources and preventing pollution,” Professor Zhang said, “staring from Indonesia, I’ll continue to help each country to be able to understand IFRAME and apply it to the policy.” <Pukyong Today> |
