1.7.2. Economic and Social Indicators
1.7.2. Economic and Social Indicators
For the indicators to be effective and workable in assessing the economic and social performance of fisheries, they should:
· Have a clear policy relevance and in particular:
a) Provide balanced coverage of some of the key issues of common concern, and reflect changes over time;
b) Be easy to interpret (that is, movements in each indicator should have clear link to overall sustainability);
c) Allow comparisons across countries;
d) Lend themselves to being adapted to different national contexts, analysed at different levels of aggregation and linked to more detailed indicator sets.
· Be analytically sound in technical and scientific terms, based on internationally accepted standards and broadly accepted by stakeholders.
· Be based on data that are available, of known quality and regularly updated.
