OVERVIEW
The safety of fishermen, the sustainability of fish stocks, and the economic viability of fishing dependent communities are issues that have to be addressed simultaneously in order to ensure a sustainable future for fishing industries. Fishing is a difficult and hazardous occupation, presenting major challenges to all involved. The safety of the fishermen is heavily dependant on the quality of the design and construction of their vessels, while the success of their operations is dependant on the ingenuity of their equipment, fishing gear, and procedures. In recent years the sustainability of many fisheries has become an area of concern, and is the subject of international debate. As a result successful fishing in future will operate in a framework of controls on the amount of fishing effort and in the face of restrictions on the nature of the fishing gear aimed at promoting 'environmentally friendly' fishing techniques.
