Natural Resource Assessment & Management
Fundamental to the development of effective fisheries policy and management to achieve long-term sustainable exploitation of aquatic living resources is an understanding of the biological, technical, economic, social and institutional processes as part of an integrated management system.
MRAG can provide expert advice on and practical input to a wide range of development and management issues in fisheries and the environment including stock assessments and environmental impact assessments. Multidisciplinary teams provide a comprehensive and integrated resource management service from initial characterization and assessment of the resource, through appropriate survey design and implementation of management programmes, to the subsequent regulation and monitoring of harvesting activity.
These activities can be better informed through scientific research and development, using a variety of techniques such as simulation modelling and statistical analysis and supported through sound data and information management procedures.
