Political Objectives
According to the FAO, fisheries management should be based explicitly on political objectives, ideally with transparent priorities. Typical political objectives when exploiting a fish resource are to:
- maximize sustainable biomass yield
- maximize sustainable economic yield
- secure and increase employment
- secure protein production and food supplies
- increase export income
Such political goals can also be a weak part of fisheries management, since the objectives can conflict with each other.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or objectives:
“No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
