Résumé

This Vanuatu National Coconut Cab Fishery Management Plan is made in accordance with Section 3 of the Fisheries Act of 2005 and approved by the Minister for Fisheries, conforms the Act which states in section 3 of Part 2 that each Plan shall (a) identify the fishery and assess the present state of its exploitation; (b) specify objectives to be achieved in the management of the fishery; (c) specify the management and development strategies to be adopted for the fishery to which it relates; (d) provide for a scheme of licensing, if necessary, or other appropriate management measure; (e) specify, if applicable, the licensing regime to be applied, including the limitations, if any, to be applied to local fishing operations and the amount of fishing, if any, to be allocated to foreign fishing vessels; (f) specify the information and other data required to be provided by persons licensed to fish for that fishery; and (g) take into account any relevant traditional fishing methods and practices.

Nonetheless, many aspects of this plan also affect the capture of crabs for local/home consumption.
