Abstract
During the MARAM International Stock Assessment Workshop in Cape Town, December 2011, it was recommended that clear broad objectives for the management of the anchovy and sardine fisheries would assist good decision making by all stake-holders (Anon. 2011). This document outlines a suggested list of qualitative objectives for the management of these fisheries under OMP-13 in three tiers. The first tier consists of “nonnegotiable” objectives, which will in due course be defined quantitatively. A second tier consists of core decision objectives, while a third tier consists of further trade-off objectives. The objectives are split between those which address target resource (i.e. sardine or anchovy) concerns, those which address industry concerns and those which address ecosystem concerns. Naturally trade-offs between the objectives in each of these three sets of concerns will exist. At this stage, assigning quantitative definitions to each objective is not attempted.
