With threats to global biodiversity growing, it is increasingly necessary to examine the frameworks we employ to ensure conservation is successful and effective. Conservation of the ocean and its biodiversity can thus take many forms and area-based fisheries management has been used for centuries to improve the performance of fisheries and reduce their ecological impact. Such measures have also developed and in 2010 the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) recognized the importance of protected areas and Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in reversing biodiversity loss. Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) are thus geographically defined sites outside of protected areas that can achieve the sustained long-term conservation of biodiversity and they can be managed by government organisations, indigenous peoples or local communities. The book is an updated version of a report prepared by members of the IUCN Fisheries Expert Group in 2021, following their close involvement in the elaboration and adoption of the concept of OECMs, and subsequent developments at international and national levels. This book focuses on OECMs as applied in marine capture fisheries, referred to as "fishery-OECMs". Included in the book are: A detailed description of this new instrument for managing fisheries and conservation. A complete account of the background and development of the OECM concept. Identification of how OECMs can be used to further economic and conservation goals. This book describes the OECM concept in the context of marine capture fisheries to inform those working, interested or involved in fisheries, conservation and the environment. It also reviews the opportunities and challenges presented when identifying, using and maintaining effective long-term fishery-OECMs, thus ensuring the effective management of fisheries and the conservation of marine biodiversity.

Serge M Garcia (Author) Dr Serge Michel Garcia is French, born in Algeria in 1945. He holds a D.Sc. (Biological Oceanography) from the University of Marseille (France, 1976) and initially specialized in shrimp population dynamics and tropical fisheries management. He worked in West Africa from 1968 to 1979 for the French Institute of Research for Development, IRD (formerly ORSTOM), after which he joined the FAO Fisheries Department where he was responsible for West African fisheries resources, headed the Marine Resources Service and took on the role of Director of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Division. At FAO, Serge contributed, inter alia, to the conception and development of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and promoted the adoption and implementation of the precautionary and the ecosystem approaches to fisheries (EAF). He initiated the development of the Fisheries Global Information System (FIGIS) and conceived and led the development of the UN Atlas of the Oceans. He retired from FAO in March 2007. Dr Garcia has also been a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Census of Marine Life (CoML), the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) board, and the Scientific Committee of the French Institute for Research and Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER). He is still a member of the board of the European Bureau for Conservation and Development (EBCD), and co-founded and served as first chair of the Fisheries Expert Group of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management.Jake Rice (Author) Dr Jake Rice is National Senior Advisor - Ecosystem Sciences, for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada. He spent 11 years as Director of Peer Review and Science Advice for DFO. Prior to that he had senior positions in Pacific Region and Newfoundland Region. He has held faculty positions at Memorial University, Arizona State University, and University of Copenhagen. He received his B Sc. from Cornell (1970 - Conservation) and Ph. D. from University of Toronto (1974 - Ornithology). Jake has more than 200 publications in the scientific and technical literature, covering many aspects of what is now considered the ecosystem approach to integrated management. This work has included investigation of objective methods for choosing informative ecosystem indicators, setting ecologically based reference levels on indicators, and strategies for conducting ecosystem assessments that are integrated across ecosystem processes, industry sectors, and ecological, social, and economic aspects of policy and management. His primary duties now are as science advisor to the DFO International Policy group, and with substantial involvement in negotiations of international marine policy at UN Working Groups, FAO, CBD, and related bodies. He is a member of the Group of Experts for the UN Regular Process for Global Marine Assessments, and is one of the Lead Authors for a chapter on Drivers, Trends and Mitigation, for the next IPCC Assessment Report. He has chaired more than a dozen major DFO science planning or review committees, served on the NOAA Science Advisory Board and the External Ecosystem Review Team, participated in and often chaired expert groups for ICES, PICES, FAO, IOC, CBD, MSC, the UN Group of Experts for the Assessment of Assessments, the UN Regular Process for Global Marine Assessments, and formerly was Vice-Chair of the IUCN-CEM Fisheries Expert Group.Anthony Charles (Author) Dr. Anthony (Tony) Charles is Director of the School of the Environment at Saint Mary's University (Canada), where he also holds a dual appointment as Professor of Management Science within the Sobey School of Business, and professor of Environmental Science in the Faculty of Science. Dr. Charles is an inherently interdisciplinary researcher, linking natural, social and management sciences, focusing on fisheries and marine social-ecological systems. His contributions are particularly in four key areas: small-scale fisheries and community-based fishery management; policy and practice for sustainability and resilience in fishery and ocean governance; strategies for handling uncertainty and climate change in fisheries and marine systems; and the human dimensions of the ecosystem approach and of spatial management. Internationally, Dr. Charles is a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation, recipient of the Gulf of Maine Visionary Award, Past-President of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade and currently Director of the Community Conservation Research Network. Within Canada, Dr. Charles works closely with a range of coastal communities and Indigenous organizations, drawing on past work as a research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), a member of the DFO Science Advisory Council and Founding Director of Canada's Ocean Management Research Network. Dr. Charles is the author or co-author of well over a hundred publications, including several books, notably Sustainable Fishery Systems. He collaborates internationally with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Dr. Charles currently serves as Vice-Chair of the IUCN-CEM Fisheries Expert Group.Daniela Diz (Author) Daniela Diz is a Bicentennial Associate Professor at the Lyell Centre, Heriot-Watt University. Daniela has over 20 years of experience in the field of environmental law and oceans governance. Her main research area focuses on marine biodiversity law and policy at multiple governance scales. She is involved in international processes related to the law of the sea, marine biodiversity and fisheries, and often conducts studies on these themes for UN agencies, governments, and civil society. She has developed a step-wise guide for the implementation of international legal and policy instruments related to deep-sea fisheries and biodiversity conservation in the areas beyond national jurisdiction with FAO with a view to facilitate the incorporation of relevant international policy and law into national legislation. She has been involved in the negotiations of the BBNJ Agreement, and has been contributing to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) decisions on marine and coastal biodiversity, ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSA), Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework by providing expert advice, including through background reports and papers to UN bodies, States and observers. Daniela has been involved with the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization since 2010, and has been contributing as an expert to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) on issues such as vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). She is a member of the IUCN-Fisheries Expert Group and the IUCN-World Commission on Environmental Law, and a member of the CBD EBSA Informal Advisory Group.
