Bangladesh
Key factorInputActivitiesOutputsOutcomesImpact
FisheriesHuman resources: Marine biologists, fisheries experts, policy analysts and local fishing communities

Financial resources: Funding from the government, international organizations and private sector investments

Information resources: Data on fish stocks, fishing practices, economic contributions of fisheries and international best practices

Technological resources: Tools for stock assessment and refrigerated storage facilities
Approximately 250 industrial steel body trawlers and 70,000 artisanal mechanized and non-mechanized wooden boats are used for fishing (Mahmud et al., 2020)

Temporary fishing prohibitions enforced for specific times of the year on fish species, particularly Hilsa

Installation of vessel tracking and monitoring system (VTMS) with satellite communication links in fishing vessels in phases to monitor and control

Creation of ecologically critical areas (ECA) in order to preserve biodiversity and important habitats (Sajal, 2018)
Increased volume of fish caught and employment generated for local fishermen.

Rates of adherence to the prohibitions and reports on fish population monitoring

Reports on fishing regulations compliance are also provided, along with real-time data on vessel locations and activities.

Plans for management and conservation are put into action
More fish available in neighborhood markets and more money coming in for fishermen and their families.

Hilsa and other fish species' recruitment and breeding success have increased.

Reduction of unreported, unregulated, and illicit fishing (IUU).

Preservation of marine biodiversity and sustainable fisheries
Possibilities for both direct and indirect employment created in the processing, fishing and associated industries.

Enhanced understanding of the value of conservation and sustainable fishing methods among the local populace.

Reducing the use of harmful fishing techniques, maintaining important marine habitats and safeguarding biodiversity are all made possible by effective monitoring and control of fishing activities.

Reduced lead times and more effective shipping practices all help to cut emissions and the carbon footprint
