By 2020 all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed and harvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem based approaches, so that overfishing is avoided, recovery plans and measures are in place for all depleted species, fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe ecological limits.

Malaysia —
The Ecosystem Approach for the Management of Fisheries and Other Marine Resources is being fully applied, with the target to have, by 2020, strong related legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks. The target also aims to improve income, livelihoods and food security in an increasingly significant number of coastal communities through new sustainable coastal fisheries and poverty reduction initiatives.

Senegal —
A national MPA network comprised of 16 MPAs covering an area of 244,750 hectares has been established. These MPAs are contributing to the reconstitution of fish stocks, protection of threatened marine and coastal species, and to the improvement of livelihood and food security. (NBSAP)

Angola —
NBSAP 2019-2025 contains an outline of an action plan for the fisheries sector, in which 8 actions are to be developed by 2025. Success indicators in 2025 are defined as: biomass of target species with sustainable reproduction; illegal fishing controlled; no introduction of IAS; traditional fisheries integrated in the sustainable management of biodiversity; status of aquatic biodiversity and trends known; number of seals reduced and controlled (conflict between man and seals reduced); management plans exist for most exploited species; and at least two Marine Conservation Areas are created and in operation. (NBSAP)

Solomon Islands —
NBSAP 2016-2020 contains two national targets mapped to achieving ABT6. Actions for achieving sustainable tuna management at the regional level, in partnership with the Pacific Island Forum Agency and Parties to the Nauru Agreement, and the establishment of incentives and subsidies to increase economic benefits, are addressed under Target 5 (2020), consistent with the Regional Management Tuna Development Strategy. Among other expectations, Solomon Islands anticipated having adopted a new National Fishery Act and a national policy instrument for addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and monitoring, control and surveillance by 2016.

Albania —
The Document of Strategic Policies for the Protection of Biodiversity to 2020 includes plans for monitoring specific fish species in rivers, lakes, wetlands and marine waters. Activities will include monitoring areas where the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) will go through rivers or river branches, where hydropower stations currently exist or will exist in the future, in line with standard methodologies described in the Manual for Monitoring Biodiversity. (NBSAP)

Nicaragua —
A strategic goal of NBSAP 2015-2020 is to promote sustainable fishing methods, thereby ensuring compliance with technical regulations. The National Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and local governments are responsible for implementing actions to support inter alia small- and medium-scale artisanal fishing, diversified production (including making use of non-traditional fish species), commercialization of sea species, and aquaculture and shrimp farming. The Policy on the Promotion of Aquaculture and Artisanal Fisheries is mainstreamed with the National Plan for Human Development. Other actions include the promotion of alliances among fishing communities, and capacity-building and awareness-raising among artisanal fishers of the values of sustainable fishing methods. (NBSAP)

Norway —
Norway is one of the countries that has been advocating the development of effective rules under the WTO to prohibit fisheries subsidies that contribute to overfishing, excess capacity and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Norway also played an active role in work under the FAO resulting in the conclusion of the global agreement on port state measures. The EU has adopted a Regulation to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and Norway has entered into a bilateral agreement with the EU to implement the same rules. Fisheries management is not part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) but Norway has close, broad cooperation with the EU on the management of pelagic fish stocks and shared stocks in the North Sea. Considerable progress has been made in this field in recent years. The NBAP 2015 contains 3 targets mapped to achieving ABT6. (NBSAP)

Uganda —
In November 2015, in accordance with the Fish Act (Cap 197), the President of Uganda formed the Fisheries Protection Force (FPF) to fill the law enforcement gap that existed in the fisheries sector. At the same time, a presidential directive halted the operations of Beach Management Units (BMUs) that were introduced under the National Fisheries Policy (2004). Whereas the operations of the BMUs started well, their low management capacity was blamed for the excessive fishing effort and persistence of illegal fishing practices and gear. (6NR)

India —
The National Marine Fisheries Policy (2017) has an overarching goal of ensuring the health and ecological integrity of marine living resources through sustainable harvests, promoting sustainable development and socioeconomic uplift of fishers, with a sharp focus on women. Sustainable utilization of marine and inland aquatic resources is also promoted through the ‘Blue Revolution’, and elements contained in the ‘Blue Revolution’ Initiative, as well as in relation to the SDGs.

Republic of Moldova —
Industrial fishing has been banned by special order of the Ministry of Environment since 2017, as a result of the sector being seriously impacted by a continuous degradation of natural wetlands/lakes and a level of illegal fishing of 70% in natural water resources (rivers, lakes, wetlands). To reduce pressure to the natural fishery and fish resources, fishery breeding farms have been organized in the country. The Danceni, Stinca-Costesti, Mandic and Dubasari water reservoirs are used for industrial fishery farming. There are a large number of small lakes and water reservoirs that practice private fishery farming however statistical data is not available. (6NR)

Colombia —
The Comprehensive Policy for the Development of Sustainable Fisheries was formulated in 2015, resulting in the establishment of a significant venture for the fisheries sector (Gran Apuesta de Colombia para la Pesca) aimed at the 2032 horizon. The Policy proposes a holistic approach, including topics such as ecosystem management, sustainable development, spatial planning and management, food security and climate change. The incorporation of the Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management was one of the most important OECD recommendations (2016) for the Colombian fisheries sector. Another step forward in the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach relates to the GEF project on the sustainable management of bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean Trawl Fisheries. In Colombia, bottom trawling for shrimp is one of the main links in the country's fishing economy, contributing to the generation of employment, income, food security and foreign exchange, in addition to having the participation of women in its value chain.

Finland —
The level of sustainable fishing was improved through the reform of the Fishing Act and Fishing Decree in 2016. The management of fish stocks is being reorganized. New economic fishing regions were to be instated in 2019 (with each expected to begin work on developing a plan for the use and management of fish in their region). (6NR)
