Résumé

This Co-Management Agreement for the Sole fishery is based on sections 11, 14 and 15of the Fisheries 2007, which provide the authority for the Minister of Fisheries, Water Resources and National Assembly Matters to designate special management areas for the purpose of community-based co-management, to allocate fishing rights and to establish Community Fisheries Centers (CFCs) for the purposes of community-based fisheries management.
