Abstract

This article critically examines the Marine Fisheries Act 2020 of Bangladesh. The Act replaced the Marine Fisheries Ordinance 1983 with a view to upgrading the regulation of fisheries resources in Bangladesh’s marine waters. However, a substantial portion of the Act replicates the 1983 Ordinance. Critically, the Act does not incorporate the internationally recognised principles and measures of fisheries management, despite Bangladesh’s international obligations. Moreover, the new law is silent about capacity development of relevant government agencies and community engagement. Overall, it was a missed opportunity for Bangladesh to include sustainability and collaborative governance principles in its marine fisheries sector.

孟加拉国《2020年海洋渔业法》：错失可持续发展和合作治理的机会

本文严格审查了孟加拉国的《2020年海洋渔业法》。该法令取代了1983年《海洋渔业条例》，目的是加强对孟加拉国海域渔业资源的监管。然而，该法令的很大一部分内容与1983年法令相重复。至关重要的是，尽管孟加拉国负有国际义务，但该法没有纳入国际公认的渔业管理原则和措施。此外，新法律对相关政府机构的能力发展和社区参与保持沉默。总的来说，孟加拉国错过了将可持续性和合作治理原则纳入其海洋渔业部门的机会。
